cable type is indicated with the letter CA (Compensating Alloys), e.g. for K type thermocouple the cable type is KCA.
wires have similar electrical features as the sensor's thermo wires, but they are not exactly same materials
this solution is more cost effective than extension wires, but the maximum temperature allowed is lower, depending on insulation materials in range of 100…200 °C.
Lapp Automaatio's stock items of cables for thermocouples are compensating cables.
What is extension cable (X)?
Extension cable or Extension wire
cable type is indicated with the letter X (eXtension), e.g. for K type thermocouple the cable type is KX.
wires are of exactly same materials as thermo wires of the sensor
these cables can reach even as high ambient temperature level as the thermocouple does.
In September 2022, Ex i certification was granted for EPIC® SENSORS temperature sensors. Ex i certified temperature sensors can be used in explosive environments. Uncertified sensors can also be used...
