Extension and compensating cables are essential for connecting thermocouples to measurement devices located away from the temperature source.
Siccet USA offers a variety of extension and compensating cables featuring flexible or solid conductors and an extensive selection of insulating materials, customized to fit specific customer needs.
Extension Cables: Constructed using wires that match the nominal composition of the thermocouple, these cables have broader tolerances. Identified by an "X" following the thermocouple type, they comply with the DIN IEC 60584 standard. Siccet USA supplies extension cable types including EX, KX, JX, NX, and TX, typically tested within a temperature range of 32 °F to 392 °F.
Compensating Cables: Made from more economical conductor materials that exhibit similar thermoelectric properties to the thermocouple but differ in nominal composition, these cables are marked with a "C" next to the thermocouple type in accordance with DIN IEC 60584. Siccet USA’s compensating cables include Bc, Kca/Kcb, Nc, Rcb, and Scb.
Choosing between extension and compensating cables often depends on budget constraints or the required distance from the measurement site to the instrument.
