UL TUV Certified Fire Retardant Cable with PVC Sheath and XLPE Insulation
Thermocouple compensation cables, also known as instrumentation cables, are designed for process temperature measurement applications. These cables feature construction similar to pair instrumentation cables but utilize specialized conductor materials to match the thermoelectric properties of thermocouples used for temperature sensing and control systems.
Thermocouple Compensation Cable Types
Our manufacturing facility specializes in producing various thermocouple compensation wire types including KX, EX, JX, TX, SC/RC, KCA, and KCB. These products are manufactured in compliance with GB/T 4990-2010 (Chinese National Standard) and IEC584-3 (International Standard) specifications.
Compensation Wire Classification
X: Extension type - compensation wire alloy matches the thermocouple alloy composition
C: Compensation type - wire alloy exhibits similar characteristics to thermocouple alloy within specific temperature ranges
