Mineral Insulated Cable for Induction Furnaces Avoids Errant Signals Problem: Packaging machine manufacturers have a variety of needs as far as temperature sensing goes. In this particular application, the customer's primary packaging machine packages bologna. The customer requires a small diameter thermocouple to measure temperature just below the face of a moving die. The thermocouple must be ductile enough for bending in the field to thread the thermocouple junction into the correct temperature sensing position. The thermocouple must also be rigid enough to hold its shape and maintain a clearance distance from moving parts. No portion of the thermocouple may be larger than 0.125-inch (3.2 mm) diameter due to a clearance problem situation built into the equipment. The problem is compound
