Thermocouple and Thermocouple Extension Wire and Cable
Thermo Electric insulated thermocouple wire is carefully calibrated and is traceable to the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) for conformance to ISA and ANSI recommended initial calibration tolerances. Thermocouple grade wire can be used as a reliable, inexpensive, thermocouple simply by soldering or welding a junction on one end. Thermocouple extension grade wire is used to economically extend thermocouples to instrumentation in installations where the cost of thermocouple grade wire would be prohibitive. High accuracy is nonetheless maintained because these extension wires are constructed of thermocouple materials and insulated for maximum resistance to your application hazards. Standard thermocouple wire constructions can be selected for such special requirements as high abrasion, moisture and chemical resistance. Solid or stranded wires, and twisted and shielded wires for electrical interference rejection are available. Metal coverings are available for increased resistance to mechanical stress and abrasion. Insulating and jacketing materials include PVC, TEFLON® FEP TFE PFA, Kapton, fiberglass, vitreous silica, Q-glass and stainless steel overbraid.
