Thermocouple & Extension Cables
Thermocouple cables are available in thermocouple grade, extension grade & compensating grade. Extension & compensating cable is recommended for use in connecting thermocouples to the sensing or control equipment. Whereas thermocouple wire is used to measure the temperature directly.
| Type | Conductor Used | Measuring & Ambient temperature | Used for |
| Thermocouple Cables | Use same conductor element as of original thermocouple (Class 1 accuracy) | Both Measuring & Ambient Up to thermocouple highest range | Used as a flexible thermocouple up to 1200 Deg C |
| Extension Cables | Use same element as of thermocouple with lower accuracy | Measuring : Up to 900 °C with best accuracy Ambient : Up to 200 ° C | Used to extend the signal from sensor to remote measuring instruments |
| Compensating Cables | Made of different alloys which have similar thermo power characteristics as of thermocouple over a limited temperature | Measuring : Up to 900 °C Ambient : Up to 100 ° C |
Cheapest solution to extend a signal from sensor to remote measuring instruments over a limited temperature range |
