THERMOCOUPLE/COMPENSATING CABLES

THERMOCOUPLE/COMPENSATING CABLES

Thermocouple is a sensor for measuring temperature. It has consist two dissimilar metals conductors, are joined together at the sensing end. Thermocouple grade wire has a accuracy specification than Extension grade wire.There are multiple type of grades of thermocouple wire.Each type of thermocouple has a specific combination of metal alloys

Compensating Cable It is a type of thermocouple cable that use a different composition to extension cable that is only used to extend a thermocouple signal from the thermocouple sensor back to instrumentation . It is less expensive grade wire used a cheaper alloys.
