Thermocouple Extension Wire

Key Features

Dissimilar Conductors: Made from the same alloys as the thermocouple it extends, ensuring continuity of the thermoelectric signal.

Color-Coded Insulation: Uses standard color-coded insulation (e.g., often red for the negative lead and a specific color for the positive lead depending on the thermocouple type) for easy identification.

Environmental Resistance: Offers various insulation and jacketing options (like PVC, PTFE, or fiberglass) that provide resistance to chemicals, moisture, abrasion, and flame.

Extended Temperature Range (of wire): Designed for use in environments with lower ambient temperature limits (e.g., typically below 200°C/392°F) than the thermocouple probe itself.

Cost-Effectiveness: It is more economical for extending thermocouples over long distances because it has less stringent manufacturing tolerances and lower material costs than thermocouple-grade wire.
