Mineral insulated metal sheathed RTD Cable, RTD MIC, has a stainless steel or Inconel outer metal sheath with copper or Nickel signal wire conductors. The conductor lead wires are insulated from each other and the outer sheath by compacted magnesium oxide MgO. Metric and standard US inch diameters are manufactured in a range of OD sizes with 2, 3, 4 conductors. The 4 wire design is produced in wide or standard pattern layout in various diameters. Coil lengths of 50 to 1000 ft are typical. Metal sheath RTD cable with nickel 201 conductors is also used as sensor hook up wire in high temperature locations.

OMEGA RTD MI Cable can be supplied in cut to length MIC wire sections for OEM sensor and probe builders. Short straight lengths of MIC RTD MI cable from 4.25 inch to 28 inch can be cut to length CTL. Each end of the cut to length MIC can be prepared straight cut or with stripped lead lengths to match your RTD sensor probe assembly requirements.

RTD Pt100 vs Thermocouple

It is not practical to compare RTDs (Pt100 and others) and thermocouples generally. However, if we compare their performance in terms of specific criteria, we can see which is best suited for specific applications. Thermocouples are best for working at high temperatures. New manufacturing techniques have improved the measurement range of RTD probes, but more than 90% of RTDs are designed for temperatures below 400°C.

In contrast, some thermocouples can be used at up to 2500°C. Thermocouples are generally cheaper than RTDs...

How is Temperature Measured?

Temperature can be measured via a diverse array of sensors. All of them infer temperature by sensing some change in a physical characteristic. Six types with which the engineer is likely to come into contact are: thermocouples, resistive temperature devices (RTDs Pt100 and thermistors), infrared radiators, bimetallic devices, liquid expansion devices, and change-of-state devices.
