BLMI probes are also available in a high-temperature
version. The cold end is potted using a ceramic cement
rated to 1200°C (2200°F). Add “-CC” to the end of the
probe part number and $5 to list price. (The actual
temperature rating of the probe is dependent upon the
calibration, sheath material, and probe diameter.)

BLMI Probes Deliver Consistent, Superior
Quality Through Automated Manufacturing
Thermocouple users demand products able to deliver
accurate measurements over long lifetimes. They also
want proven track records from the probes they buy.
With OMEGA’s automated manufacturing and testing
systems, these customers can be assured of
consistently high-quality products, and the ability to
track the manufacturing process and retrieve the initial
calibration values and material sources.
OMEGA’s bare leads MI (BLMI) finished probes begin
with OMEGA’s own high-purity magnesium oxide
thermocouple cable. This mineral-insulated, metalsheathed cable uses SLE-class materials throughout
its construction.
“DUAL”Construction
Also available in
a 4-wire construction
(2 thermocouple junctions).
Add “–DUAL“ to the end of
the part number and $10
to the list price. Consult Sales
for probe lenghts over 12".
For some applications, such as ceramic kilns, BLMI
probes combined with the accessories shown on these
pages offer expedient and accurate temperature solutions
to 1204°C (2200°F) with XL probes. BLMI probes meet
and exceed the rigorous standards for thermocouples,
including ANSI/ASTM-E-230, ASTM-E-608, and the
British/European BS/EN 61515 standard. The combined
BLMI probe with Super OMEGACLAD®XL sheathing
produces superior measurement results.
OMEGA’s BLMI Series probes are built and quality
tested on our automated manufacturing lines.
OMEGACLAD®mineral-insulated, metal-sheathed
thermocouple cable is cut, stripped, beaded, closed,
potted, and tested by equipment designed and built
in-house exclusively for these tasks.
Programmable controller-based automation used in
manufacturing BLMI probes ensures the same high
quality from lot to lot—from cutting to final test. After
final QA tests for insulation resistance and weld and
seal leakage [nitrogen pressure test at 2.5 MPa
(362 psi)], OMEGA assigns identification codes to
each device, which can be used to track products
through the entire manufacturing process.
To pass the IR test according to ASTM specs, OMEGA’s
BLMI probes must achieve at least a 1 GΩ reading. The
unit under test scored 50 GΩ.
Probes are subjected to a leak test at the welded
thermocouple junction (hot end) with a pressurization
greater than 2.5 MPa (362 psi).
