Thermocouple Extention/Compensating Used to extend thermocouple
circuits from the sensor to reference unit, Generally manufactured
with conductor sizes 16, 18 & 20 AWG and conforming to IS:
8784, BS: 4937, IEC-584, ANSI: MC: 96.1, DIN, JIS
Conductor: Solid/stranded
Type: KX, VX, TX, JX, EX, SX/RX
Insulation: PVC –HR; PE, LSZH
Shielding: Individual & overall or overall screen only by Al-mylar
tape/copper tape/copper wire braid
Inner sheath: PVC –HR/FR/FRLS; PE, LSZH
Armour (for armoured cables): Galvanized steel round wire/strip
Outer sheath: PVC –HR/FR/FRLS; PE, LSZH
Thermocouple Extention/Compensating Cables. The conductors used for
these cables are required to have similar thermoelectric (emf)
properties as that to the thermocouple used for sensing the
temperature. The cables manufactured as per IS:8784, ANSI-96.1,
B.S. And customers specification.
