Precious metal and base metal thermocouples widely used in industries for the measurement of temperature in the range from low to ultrahigh temperatures. With the best staff and advanced technologies, we manufacture a wide variety of quality products for use in general industry and explosive and hazardous areas.
Metal Sheathed thermocouple is comprised of metal sheath in which the thermoelectric elements are embedded in highly compacted magnesium oxide (MgO) insulation.
The construction guarantees a superb insulation quality and high resistance to pressure, and has, in addition, an excellent flexibility, which has been given to it by annealing in a proper method

Ceramics-tubed wires or mineral insulated cables have conventionally been used in harsh environments. However, they posed serious problems in flexibility, connections, and the ratio of outer cable diameter to conductor diameter. Yamari has launched a flexible ceramic-insulated thermocouple wire, achieved through a new fabrication process, SLPC using a liquid phase process similar to an electrostatic spattering method.

A new type K thermocouple conductor was jointly developed with a world-class manufacturer of thermoelectric wire to improve long-term stability and service life at elevated temperature in reducing atmosphere. AD-THERMIC is a MI thermocouple cable comprising of this advanced thermocouple conductor and Inconel 600 sheath with MgO insulation. An excellent long-term stability and longer service life compared to the conventional MI thermocouple cables have been proven on our field test using heat treatment furnace and reducing furnace.
Advantages
1.
Excellent long-term emf stability in hydrogen and carburizing atmosphere at elevated temperature.
2.
Prolonged service life in continuous operation.
The demand for measuring very high temperature in research laboratories, specialized furnaces, and in other high temperature experimental and industrial applications has grown dramatically in recent years. In response to this demand, Yamari Industries has been providing its Tungsten Rhenium thermocouples and expert knowledge to customers needing accurate measurements of high temperatures in a wide range of fields. Now, Yamari is pleased to announce it has developed a new type of Tungsten Rhenium thermocouple, “VAC-Curate 2100”, in conjunction with a world class Japanese manufacturer of quality alloys and can supply thermocouple elements conforming to ASTM standard E988-96 in matched pairs.
Advantages of the Tungsten Rhenium Thermocouple
●
Compared to platinum elements, the tungsten rhenium thermocouple has a high and relatively linear thermal emf output.
●
Tungsten Rhenium can measure temperature over a range extending to 2,300℃.
●
Noble metal thermocouples are usually used in oxidizing or inert atmosphere. Tungsten Rhenium thermocouples are suitable for use in reducing or inert atmosphere and in vacuum or nuclear environments.
Characteristics of the VAC-Curate 2100 Thermocouple
The graphs below compare conventional Tungsten Rhenium thermocouple against Yamari’s VAC-Curate 2100 thermocouple. As shown, the VAC-Curate 2100 outperforms conventional Tungsten Rhenium both on initial tolerance and emf drift.
