MINCO’s Thermal-Ribbon flexible thermocouples, RTDs are simple to use

Mod-Tronic carries MINCO Thermal-Ribbon flexible thermocouples and RTDs.

Mod-Tronic Instruments Ltd. is the world’s largest stocking distributor of MINCO test and measurement devices. The broad inventory of MINCO products includes the unique Thermal-Ribbon line of flexible thermocouples and resistance temperature detectors, or RTDs. These are thin, flexible surface-mount temperature-measurement units that are easy to use. One needs only to apply the device to the surface to be sensed with the optional peel-and-stick adhesive. Response time can be as quick as one-tenth of a second.

Ideal for extreme environments

With rugged construction that makes them ideal for extreme work environments, Thermal-Ribbon sensors contain insulation made of Kapton, polyimide, silicone rubber, and elastomer. Models are available for point sensing or averaging over an area.

The lineup of MINCO Thermal-Ribbon flexible thermocouples and RTDs from Mod-Tronic consists of the following:

• 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. Recommended for the aerospace and medical sectors.
• Wirewound Thermal-Ribbons. RTDs with a wide temperature range, from -200 to 200 degrees Celsius.
• Discoil Thermal-Ribbons. Discoil compact RTD elements are wound on a single place for quicker time response. Accurate point sensing when installed anywhere.
• Strip-sensing Thermal-Ribbons. These units 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.
• Thermocouple Thermal-Ribbons. These MINCO flexible thermocouples are patch-style sensors that can adhere to all types of surfaces for fast, easy monitoring.
• Pipe sensor Thermal-Ribbons. These flexible sensors mount onto pipe surfaces, saving the expense of pipe fitters to drain, drill, and tap pipes for thermowells. When properly installed and insulated, this instrument has accuracy and response equal to an immersed thermowell assembly.

The supplier also offers products related to this group, such as Thermal-Ribbon installation accessories and bolt-on RTD sensors. Mod-Tronic carries thousands of sensors and transmitters in stock, ready to ship right away to customers. For the widest MINCO selection, trust the Mod-Tronic team.
