Thermocouple Extension and Compensating Cable
Connect thermocouples to instruments with the correct cable type, polarity, insulation and operating range.
Technical overview
Structure and specification.
- Extension cable
- For example KX: conductors use the corresponding thermocouple nominal alloys
- Compensating cable
- For example KCA / KCB: matches the thermocouple EMF over a specified temperature range
- Construction
- Conductors, insulation, outer jacket and optional shielding
- Insulation options
- PTFE, glass fiber, ceramic fiber or polyimide; confirm grade and conditions
- Selection basis
- Thermocouple type, alloy, polarity, insulation grade and operating conditions
The blue-jacket cable illustration is a Type T example: copper positive and constantan negative. Confirm colors against the ordered standard and cable type. Cable alone does not perform cold-junction compensation.
Based on the revised OSK product manual. Confirm dimensions, materials, ratings and available combinations for the specific model.
