AKINSUN-MgO Thermocouple Assembly
An AKINSUN-MgO thermocouple assembly consists of a thermocouple element embedded in hard-packed, high-purity (99.4%) magnesium oxide (MgO) mineral insulation and encased within a durable metal sheath.
The thermocouple sheaths are fully annealed, allowing them to be formed into a wide variety of configurations. They can be bent to a minimum radius equal to twice the outer diameter of the sheath, providing excellent flexibility while maintaining mechanical integrity and measurement accuracy.
