MICC Ltd

MICC Ltd specialises in the design and manufacture of metal sheathed, mineral insulated heating, transducer and thermocouple cables in our 14000 sq. ft. factory in Washington in the North East of the United Kingdom.

We can supply standard and special cable sizes and lengths to your requirements. Our sister company TRM Ltd can manufacture finished units to your designs and requirements. MICC Ltd is the UK's only manufacturer of Mineral Insulated Thermocouple, Heating, Transducer and Compensating cable.
 
MICC Ltd operates 2 UK plants:
  • Temperature House in Washington
  • Gateshead Plant in Gateshead
Both located in the North East of England.
 
MICC Ltd is Europe's largest provider of stainless steel mineral insulated cable.
 
 
Since we supply thermocouples for installation in Nuclear power stations we are familiar with the need to use materials, especially powder, with very low levels of contaminant.
 
We enjoy very good relations with powder and block suppliers, notably, Morgan Technical Ceramics and we understand the relative merits of powder-filling and block-filling cables – we do both.
 
TRM & MICC focus on solving specific customer problems, working closely with customer engineers. Based on many years working at BICC, our highly experienced staff manufactures mineral insulated cables by a series of reductions from the original tube diameter. These reductions through a set of dies are lubricated in soap. No oil is used in the process of lubrication.
 
Cables manufactured using oil as a lubricant must be 'pickled' to remove the black surface finish or linished. Pickling requires a chemical process and chemicals that cannot be recycled. Linishing spreads cracks and risks weakness in the sheath.
 
The drawing process results in highly compacted insulant which in turn produces high thermal conductivity ensuring rapid thermal response.
