Detailed Overview

This 100-meter roll contains 19-strand Nickel Cold Leg Compensating Wire. This wire is a crucial component in industrial thermocouple circuits, specifically designed to serve as the ‘cold leg’ (negative conductor) in compensating cable runs. It is engineered to maintain signal accuracy by minimizing thermal signal error along the extension from the thermocouple’s hot junction (Supplier: Incertech).

Ensuring Thermocouple Accuracy with High-Grade Nickel Compensation

In a thermocouple circuit, the cold leg (usually negative) requires a compensating alloy to maintain the integrity of the millivolt signal over distance, preventing errors that would be introduced by standard copper wire. This high-quality, 19-stranded nickel wire provides a flexible and reliable solution for the cold side of the circuit, offering the necessary thermoelectric properties to ensure that temperature measurements for PWHT remain precise.

Features

• Alloy Type: High-grade Nickel compensating material.
• Construction: 19 Stranded for excellent flexibility and durability.
• Function: Used as the negative (cold) leg in thermocouple compensation circuits.
• Quantity: Convenient 100-meter roll for site applications.
• Signal Integrity: Ensures minimal millivolt signal degradation over the extension run.

Primary Use

Manufacturing or repairing K-Type thermocouple compensating extension cables, used to connect thermocouples to monitoring and control instruments.

Technical Specifications
