Incertech K-Type Thermocouple Compensating Wire – 100 Meter Roll

100m roll of K-Type compensating cable for precise interconnection between thermocouple systems and recording instruments. Suitable for Type X connections. Supplier: Incertech

Description

Detailed Overview

This product is a 100-meter roll of K-Type Thermocouple Compensating Cable, specifically designed for the critical interconnection between the thermocouple in the hot zone and the main control and recording instruments. It ensures that the millivolt signal is accurately transmitted without thermal signal interference, which is vital for precise temperature control (Supplier: Incertech).


Guaranteed Accuracy for Critical Temperature Measurements


Accurate heat treatment requires a reliable, distortion-free signal from the point of measurement. This high-quality compensating cable is manufactured to stringent K-Type standards, effectively extending the thermocouple junction to the cold junction of the instrument. Its reliable compensation alloy makes it also suitable for use in conjunction with Type X thermocouple circuits, ensuring greater flexibility across various heat treatment applications.


Features

  • Generous Length: Supplied in a convenient 100m roll for reduced wastage.
  • K-Type Standard: Manufactured to precisely match the thermal output of K-Type thermocouples.
  • Compensating Alloy: Ensures accurate signal transmission over long runs by managing cold junction effects.
  • Versatility: Suitable for use with both Type K and Type X thermocouple systems.

Primary Use

Interconnecting thermocouples used on workpieces to temperature control units, digital recorders, and logging instruments in Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) and stress relieving operations.

FAQ

What is the main function of compensating cable versus true thermocouple wire?

Compensating cable uses less expensive alloys that mimic the thermal output of the true thermocouple wire, but only over a limited, controlled temperature range. This keeps costs down for long extension runs without sacrificing signal accuracy.

Can this cable be buried or encased in concrete?

The cable is designed for industrial handling, but for permanent installation or burial, it may require additional conduit or protection to prevent mechanical damage or moisture ingress.

Is the cable color-coded for polarity?

Yes, standard industrial compensating cables are color-coded (typically red for negative and another color for positive) to ensure correct polarity hookup, which is essential for accurate readings.
