About this product:

Mineral Insulated Metal Sheathed (MIMS) cables are widely used for thermocouple and instrumentation applications due to their durability, thermal resistance, and ability to operate in harsh environments. Here’s a comprehensive overview of MIMS cables, specifically in the context of thermocouple and instrument machine connections:

Overview of Mineral Insulated Metal Sheathed (MIMS) Cables

1. Construction:

   • Outer Sheath: Typically made of stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant metals, providing mechanical protection and grounding.
   • Insulation: Composed of magnesium oxide (MgO) which acts as an insulator and allows for high-temperature operation.
   • Conductor: Usually consists of thermocouple wires (e.g., Type K, J, T) or other instrumentation wires, depending on the application.

2. Key Features:

   • High Temperature Resistance: MIMS cables can withstand temperatures up to 900°C (1652°F) depending on the materials used.
   • Mechanical Strength: The metal sheath protects against physical damage, making them suitable for industrial environments.
   • Moisture and Chemical Resistance: The metal sheath and MgO insulation provide excellent resistance to moisture and various chemicals.
   • Low Electrical Noise: MIMS cables generally exhibit low electromagnetic interference (EMI), making them ideal for sensitive instrumentation applications.

Applications :

• Solid waste incinerators
• Sintering powdered metals
• Firing ceramic materials
• Gas or oil fired furnaces
• Fuel fired heat exchangers
• Box furnaces
• Nuclear or hydrocarbon based energy plants
• And many more...

• Sheath cables are used in various applications, including:
• Residential wiring
• Commercial electrical systems
• Industrial machinery
• Power distribution
• Outdoor installations
• Heavy-duty equipment
• Environmental Resistance:
• Many sheath cables are designed to resist moisture, chemicals, UV radiation, and temperature fluctuations, making them suitable for a variety of environments.
• Considerations When Selecting Sheath Cables:
• Application Requirements: Choose the type of sheath cable based on the specific application, considering factors like mechanical protection, environmental exposure, and electrical requirements.
• Compliance with Standards: Ensure that the cable meets relevant electrical codes and safety standards for your region (e.g., NEC in the United States).
• Voltage Rating: Verify that the cable's voltage rating is appropriate for your application.
• Installation Method: Consider how the cable will be installed (e.g., conduit, direct burial, etc.) and choose a sheath type that suits that installation method.
• In summary, sheath cables are essential components in electrical installations, providing protection, insulation, and flexibility for a wide range of applications.
