Insulated Thermocouple and Extension Wire Products Guide

Insulated thermocouple wire and thermocoule extension wire products are used to assist in monitoring and controlling temperatures in a wide and varied range of environments.

General

Information tontained in this brochure is intended to help customers select the proper products for required applications. The Following information will server as a handy refernence to some of the nomenclature involved with themocouple and extension wire and insulation systems. By following this information, orders can be placed easily and accurately.

Theromocouple Wire

A well calibrated temperature sensing device allowing accuracy in critical environment measurements.

Thermocouple Extension Wire

Provides an economical way of carrying the signal (measured in millivolts) to an instrument.

Thermocouple System

The thermocouple wire, extension wire and instrument must correspond so that the signal will flow accurately. The basic system selected (ANSI type) for the application must take into consideration conditions such as length of service, atmosphere, temperature and desired response time. Smaller guages provide faster response time with a shorter service life at elevated temperatures while larger guage sizes provide longer service life and slower response time.
