Single Pair 24AWG Thermocouple Extension wire with PTFE
The thermocouple compensation cables can also be termed as instrumentation cables, since they are used for process temperature measurement. The construction is similar to pair instrumentation cable but the conductor material is different. Thermocouples are used in processes to sense temperature and is connected to the pyrometers for indication and control. The thermocouple and pyrometer are electrically conducted by thermocouple extension cables / thermocouple compensating cables. The conductors used for these thermocouple cables are required to have similar thermo-electric (emf) properties as that of the thermocouple used for sensing the temperature.
How are insulated thermocouple wires identified?
The insulation on thermocouple wire is color coded for identification.
Common guidelines include that the negative lead in insulated thermocouple wire is red.(USA color code)
The positive lead has the color of the thermocouple as well as the overall color of insulated extension grade wire.
The outer jacket of thermocouple grade wire is typically brown.
For high temperature wire, it is common to have a color coded tracer thread in the white material.
For information on usable temperature ranges for the insulation see the "Wire Insulation Identification" table.
