Compensating | Thermocouple Extension Cables

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides comprehensive information on compensating and extension cables used with thermocouples, detailing their specifications, applications, and compliance with international standards. It discusses various cable types, their construction, and suitability for different temperature ranges.
Applications: These cables are essential in temperature measurement systems, particularly in environments with temperature fluctuations. They connect thermocouples to measuring devices, ensuring accurate readings by compensating for temperature variations at connection points.
Specifications: The document outlines different cable types, including PVC, silicone (Besilen®), fibre-glass, and FEP insulated cables, suitable for temperature ranges from -90°C to +400°C. It details the construction, including conductor materials, insulation types, and screening options.
Standards and Compliance: The cables comply with standards such as IEC 60584 and DIN 43714, meeting fire performance criteria like flame retardancy and low smoke emission per IEC and VDE standards.
Selection Tables: Selection tables are provided to help users choose the appropriate cable type based on application requirements, temperature range, and environmental conditions, emphasizing the importance of matching thermo-electric properties with the thermocouple type.
Materials and Construction: Compensating cables use substitute materials with similar thermo-electric characteristics to the thermocouple, while extension cables use identical materials. Detailed information on materials like CuNi and NiCr is provided, along with their electrical resistances.
Recommendations: For special applications, custom cables can be manufactured according to specific requirements, including conductor type, insulation material, and temperature range, with advice on minimum order quantities for custom solutions.
Key Considerations: Emphasizes the importance of matching the cable's thermo-electric properties with the thermocouple for accurate temperature measurement and the need for cables to withstand environmental conditions like temperature fluctuations and chemical exposure.
Technical Data: Includes minimum bending radius, temperature range for insulation, insulation resistance, and fire performance standards.
Availability: Cables are available in various cross-sections and manufactured with color codes according to DIN standards.
Connection Cables for Resistance Thermometers: Designed for use with resistance thermometers, available with insulation materials like PFA and fibre-glass, suitable for fixed laying up to +250°C.
Special and Hybrid Cables: Feature different core and sheath materials like PVC, PUR, and TPE, offering flexibility and temperature resistance for applications from -40°C to +250°C.
Compensating and Extension Cables: Used in the automotive industry, available with insulation types like fibre-glass, polyimide, and FEP, supporting flexible applications and fixed laying within temperature ranges from -40°C to +400°C.
Thermocouple Cables: Designed for thermocouple applications with insulation options including polyimide, FEP, and Besilen®, suitable for temperature ranges from -40°C to +250°C.
Colour Code and Temperature Range: Provides a detailed colour code and temperature range for compensating and extension cables, indicating application temperature limits based on insulating or conductor material.

Compensating and extension cables Applications General Information Temperature is an important factor in many areas concerning the environment, scientific research and production. It is a thermo-dynamic variable that defines the heat content of a material. Material strength changes with alternating temperature. As a consequence, the characteristics of materials have to be examined at different temperatures. To obtain a temperature value, defined temperature parameters are used. Here the parameters can be defined, for example, as the freezing and boiling points of water. For temperature measurement...

Compensating | Thermocouple Extension Cables-5

Extension cables are made of conductors with identical nominal structure to the corresponding thermocouple. They are identified with the letter "X" adapted to IEC 60584, which appears behind the code letter identifying the thermocouple, for example "JX". They are normally tested within a temperature range of 0 up to +200°C. Thermocouple cables consist of the same element material as the thermocouple and are tested for the same temperatures. These SPB special cables are manufactured on customer request. PVC, fibre-glass and SPBtex insulated or sheathed compensating and extension cables are not...
