JFFJPJ, Compensation cable

 
  • * High quality product
  • * Color marking according to IEC 584-3, optional ANSI/MC 96.1 (ASTM E230)
  • * Available conductors material: KCB, KX, JX, TX, NX, RCA/SCA

Most popular and inexpensive insulation material. Generally used in thermocouple connections.

Twisted conductors, each one of them in PVC insulation. Conductor pairs secured with Mylar® screen aluminum foil. Second, Mylar® global screen is made of aluminum foil too. PVC sheath with steel reinforcement and outer PVC sheath. It is designed for work in wet areas with avarage mechanical load.

Working temperature

Insulation temperature resistance from -10oC up to +105oC.

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.
