MINCO Thermal-Ribbon flexible RTDs and thermocouples are available from Mod-Tronic

Various Thermal-Ribbon products are available.

Mod-Tronic Instruments Ltd. remains the largest stocking distributor of MINCO test and measurement devices in the world. This large inventory of MINCO’s innovative solutions includes the unique Thermal-Ribbon brand of flexible thermocouples and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) – all thin, flexible surface-mount temperature-measurement units that are easy for customers to use.

The user needs merely to apply every one of these instruments to the surface to be sensed with the optional peel-and-stick adhesive, and Thermal-Ribbon response times can be as fast as one-tenth of a second.

Point-sensing, averaging models available

Thermal-Ribbon sensors have a rugged construction that makes them perfect for extreme work conditions, and they contain insulation made of Kapton, polyimide, silicone rubber, and elastomer. There are models for point sensing or averaging over areas too. The following MINCO Thermal-Ribbon flexible thermocouples and RTDs are available from Mod-Tronic:

• Discoil Thermal-Ribbons – compact RTD elements wound on a single place for faster time response. Accurate point sensing when installed anywhere.
• Pipe sensor Thermal-Ribbons – flexible sensors that mount onto pipe surfaces, saving the cost of pipe fitters to drain, drill, and tap pipes for thermowells. When properly installed and insulated, each device has accuracy and response equal to an immersed thermowell assembly.
• Strip-sensing Thermal-Ribbons – units that average temperatures along their lengths to eliminate point measurement errors. They can be wrapped around cylinders or adhered to flat surfaces. Model S3238 is designed specifically to sense stator temperatures in motors and generators.
• Thermal-Tab and Thermal-Ribbon sensors – compact thermistors and RTDs that users can install anywhere for accurate point sensing and fast response. Rugged lamination construction. Ideal for the medical and aerospace industries.
• Thermocouple Thermal-Ribbons – flexible thermocouples that are patch-style sensors, which can adhere to all kinds of surfaces for quick, simple monitoring.
• Wirewound Thermal-Ribbons – RTDs with a wide temperature range, from -200 to 200 degrees Celsius.

Mod-Tronic also carries products related to this family, like Thermal-Ribbon installation accessories and bolt-on RTD sensors. The supplier offers thousands of sensors and transmitters in stock, always ready to ship to customers immediately. Trust the Mod-Tronic team for the widest selection of MINCO solutions.
