IEC 61515:2016, Mineral insulated metal-sheathed thermocouple cables and thermocouples.
This new edition of lEG 61515 reflects recent developments in production technology, sheath materials and insulation materials. It aims to be a flexible standard allowing suppliers to provide fit-for-purpose products at an acceptable cost.
It includes informative guidance to help users choose the products that meet their needs.
Annex A gives alternative adjacent conductor configurations for duplex and triplex MIMS thermocouple cables and thermocouples.
Annex B gives recommendations to suppliers with respect to insulation composition. Annex C gives guidelines to users with regard to temperature limits of operation.
This International Standard establishes the requirements for simplex, duplex and triplex mineral-insulated metal-sheathed thermocouple cables and thermocouples, which are intended for use in general industrial applications. The abbreviation MIMS (for mineral-insulated metal-sheathed”) will be used hereafter. It covers thermocouple cables and thermocouples with only base-metal conductors of Types T, J, E, K and N. The specifications in this standard apply to new thermocouple cables and thermocouple units as delivered to the user. They do not apply to the product after use.
External seals, terminations, connections and other accessories are not within the scope of this International Standard.
This standard does not apply to precious metal thermocouple cables and thermocouples. The special requirements for nuclear primary loop apptications are dealt with in the other standards.IEC 61515:2016 pdf free download.
