Compensation and extension cables


 

GLGL, Compensation cable

 
  • * High quality product
  • * Color marking according to IEC 584-3, optional ANSI/MC 96.1 (ASTM E230)
  • * Available conductors material: KX, JX, RCA/SCA
Insulation material is resistant fo extremely high temperatures. Generally used in thermocouple connections.

Parallel positioning of conductors in double fiberglass insulation, each one of them. First fiberglass sheath is braided by second one, impragnated. Twisted pairs braided by additional impragnated fiberglass. Global fiberglass sheath is impregnated with silicone. Each one of conductors and conductor pairs are marked with color according to IEC-584-3. It is designed for work in high temperatures, specialy in glass and ceramic industry.

Compensation and extension cables material

We make a distinction between orginal materials for extension cables and replacement materials for compensation cables.

Extension cables are made of orginal materials, the same type as thermocouple and it can be used for temperature measurement up to +1200ºC. However, actual maximum working temperature is limited by cable insulation material.

Designation according to thermocouple designation and X letter, e.g. KX, JX, EX.

Compensation cables are made of substitute materials, composed of alloys, which are not identical with thermocouple materials. However compensation cables has the same thermoelectric properties as thermocouples in allowed temperature range (according to IEC 584-3) for compensation cables.

Designation according to thermocouple designation, "C" letter and thermocouple material type designated as "A" or "B" , e.g. KCA, RCA.

Substitute materials are used for K and N type thermocouples as well as for thermocouples made of precious metal types such as R, S or B. In these case thermocouples are made of very expensive material and substitute materials are much cheaper solution.
