Product Description:
Do you know K type extension thermocouple cable ?
K type extension thermocouple cable is a type of cable used in
temperature measurement systems with K-type thermocouples. Here are
some key points about it:
- Function and principle:
- In a temperature measurement system, a thermocouple generates a
voltage signal corresponding to the temperature difference between
the measuring end (hot junction) and the reference end (cold
junction). However, in many cases, the reference end of the
thermocouple may not be at a constant temperature, which can cause
measurement errors. The K type extension thermocouple cable is used
to connect the thermocouple to the measuring instrument, extending
the connection distance while also compensating for the temperature
variation of the reference end to ensure the accuracy of
temperature measurement.
- It is designed to have similar thermoelectric properties to the
K-type thermocouple within a certain temperature range, so that the
voltage signal transmitted through the cable can accurately
represent the temperature at the measuring end of the thermocouple.
- Construction and materials:
- Conductor: The conductors of the K type extension thermocouple cable are
usually made of metals with specific compositions. For the K-type,
the positive conductor is made of nickel-chromium alloy, and the
negative conductor is made of nickel-aluminum alloy. These metal
materials ensure the accurate transmission of the thermoelectric
signal.
- Insulation: The insulation material of the cable is used to isolate the two
conductors and prevent electrical short circuits between them.
Common insulation materials include polyvinyl chloride (PVC),
fluoroplastic, silicone rubber, etc. Different insulation materials
have different temperature resistance and other performance
characteristics, suitable for different application environments.
- Types and specifications:
- Based on insulation and sheath materials: There are PVC-insulated and sheathed K type extension
thermocouple cables, which are cost-effective and suitable for
general temperature measurement applications;
fluoroplastic-insulated and sheathed cables have better
high-temperature resistance and chemical resistance, suitable for
high-temperature and corrosive environments; silicone
rubber-insulated cables have good flexibility and high-temperature
resistance, suitable for applications requiring flexibility and
high-temperature resistance.
- Based on the number of cores: There are single-core and multi-core (such as double-core or
triple-core) K type extension thermocouple cables. Single-core
cables are suitable for simple temperature measurement circuits,
while multi-core cables can be used in more complex measurement
systems or in environments with higher requirements for signal
stability.
- Application scenarios:
- Widely used in industrial production processes such as metallurgy,
chemical industry, power generation, and petroleum, for temperature
measurement and control of various equipment and processes. For
example, in a steelmaking furnace, K type extension thermocouple
cables are used to measure the temperature of the furnace interior
to ensure the normal operation of the steelmaking process.
- Also used in scientific research experiments and laboratory
temperature measurement, providing accurate temperature data for
scientific research and analysis.
