General Instruments Mineral Insulated Cables
GIC is the leading Mineral Insulated Cables Manufacturer providing Reliable Solutions for Accurate Temperature Measurement to the Process Industry worldwide.
General has more than a quarter of a century’s experience in manufacturing high precision instruments for temperature and pressure measurements for a wide spectrum of processing INDUSTRIES. Continuous research and development programme coupled with a regular study of customer needs in the light of technological evolution has helped to design and manufacture a range of self – armoured mineral insulated cables. Their unique characteristics and performance capabilities were tested in hostile operating environments, including nuclear reactors over many years, which has helped to establish a leadership.
Routine tests:
a) Insulation resistance test
b) Sheath ductility test
c) Calibration (for thermocouple cable)
d) Conductor ductility test
e) Water immersion test
f) Loop resistance test
g) Nitrogen leakage test for MI probes
h) Dimensional check
Raw Material Testing:
- Chemical & Physical Properties
- Hardness Test
- Micro Test
- Corrosion Test
Features:
- Manufactured in a variety of sizes and conductor combinations
- hermo-element protection from oxidation and corrosion
- Highly compacted mineral insulant, metal sheath, and hermetically sealed termination ensure extra long for a wide range of temperature sensing applications
- The metal sheath provides self-armouring and enables the small mass thermocouple to be installed in difficult situations
- The small mass high thermal conductivity of the insulant ensures rapid response to temperature change
- The stable EMF characteristics are achieved through controlled production and testing
