WIKA

High-performance temperature sensors for the most demanding environments

Thermocouples are particularly suited for high-temperature applications found in the chemical, petrochemical, and refinery industries. Their advantages are many, including a fast response time (thanks to a small diameter) and lower cost. And with conductor cables encased inside a mineral-insulated sheath, thermocouples perform reliably in processes with high pressure and vibration. Thermowells provide additional protection against corrosive process media and extreme operating conditions. WIKA offers a comprehensive portfolio of thermocouples with multiple temperature ranges, connection heads, output signals, and safety certifications.

What is the minimum bending radius for an MI cable?

VDI/VDE 3511 Sheet 2 recommends a radius of curvature R of ≥ 5 x D (D=external diameter of the MI cable), although some manufacturers of MI cable give ≥ 3 x D as the minimum bending radius.
