MINCO’s Thermal-Ribbon flexible thermocouples and RTDs deliver easy handling, fast response

The Thermal-Ribbon brand by MINCO

Mod-Tronic Instruments Ltd. is the world’s largest stocking distributor of test and measurement solutions by MINCO – with a selection of innovative devices that includes the unique Thermal-Ribbon brand of flexible thermocouples and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs). These are thin, flexible surface-mount temperature-measurement units that are simple for users to operate. Customers need only to apply each one of these products to the surface to be sensed with the optional peel-and-stick adhesive, and the instruments’ response times can be as short as 1/10 of a second.

Ideal for extreme environments

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

• Discoil Thermal-Ribbons. Compact RTD elements wound on a single place for quicker time response. Accurate point sensing when installed anywhere.
• Pipe sensor Thermal-Ribbons. Flexible sensors that mount onto pipe surfaces, saving the expense of pipe fitters to drain, drill, and tap pipes for thermowells. Each device has accuracy and response equal to an immersed thermowell assembly when correctly installed and insulated.
• Strip-sensing Thermal-Ribbons. Units that average temperatures along their lengths to eliminate point measurement errors. Users can wrap them around cylinders or adhere them to flat surfaces. Model S3238 is specifically designed to sense stator temperatures in motors and generators.
• Thermal-Tab and Thermal-Ribbon sensors. Compact thermistors and RTDs that can be installed anywhere for accurate point sensing and quick response. Rugged lamination construction. Perfect for the aerospace and medical sectors.
• Thermocouple Thermo-Ribbons. Flexible thermocouples that are patch-style sensors, which can stick to all sorts of surfaces for easy, fast monitoring.
• Wirewound Thermal-Ribbons. RTDs with a wide temperature range, from -200 to 200 degrees Celsius.

Other products related to this selection are available, including Thermal-Ribbon installation accessories and bolt-on RTD sensors. Mod-Tronic carries thousands of sensors, transmitters, and flexible thermocouples in stock, always ready for immediate shipment to clients.
