Type K/J/E/T/N/R/S/PT100 FEP PFA PTFE PVC Fiberglass Thermocouple
Extension Wire High Temperature Sensor Compensation Cable
Product Description:
A specialized thermocouple cable composed of two dissimilar metal
wires (e.g., K-type, J-type) joined at one end to form a
thermocouple junction, insulated with high-temperature-resistant
materials (e.g., fiberglass, ceramic), and often shielded to
prevent electromagnetic interference.
Design Features
May include stranded conductors for flexibility, armored sheaths
for mechanical protection, or color-coded jackets (e.g., yellow for
K-type) to simplify installation and identification.
Conductor materials:
Type K thermocouple cables come in several variations, primarily
distinguished by their insulation materials and construction to
suit different environmental conditions and applications. Here are
the main types:
- PVC Insulated: Suitable for general-purpose applications with moderate
temperature ranges.
- Fiberglass Insulated: Used for higher temperature applications, offering better heat
resistance.
- PTFE Insulated: Ideal for applications requiring chemical resistance and
flexibility in low to moderate temperatures.
- Silicone Insulated: Provides good flexibility and heat resistance, often used in
high-temperature environments.
- Mineral Insulated (MI): Features a metal sheath with magnesium oxide insulation, suitable
for high temperatures, harsh environments, and where mechanical
protection is needed.
Each type is chosen based on specific operational requirements,
such as temperature range, chemical exposure, and mechanical
durability.

Applications:
Thermocouple cable has a wide range of applications, including:
- Industrial manufacturing:
- Metallurgy: In steelmaking, ironmaking, and other metallurgical processes,
thermocouple cables are used to monitor the high temperatures in
furnaces, such as blast furnaces, electric furnaces, and
converters. This helps to control the smelting process and ensure
the quality of the metal products.
- Chemical industry: Chemical reactions often occur under specific temperature
conditions. Thermocouple cables are used to measure the temperature
in reactors, distillation columns, and other equipment to ensure
the normal progress of chemical reactions and the safety of the
production process.
- Ceramics and glass manufacturing: The production of ceramics and glass requires high-temperature
firing and melting processes. Thermocouple cables are used to
monitor the temperature in kilns and furnaces to control the firing
temperature and ensure the quality of the products.
- Power generation: In power plants, thermocouple cables are used to measure the
temperature of boilers, steam turbines, and other equipment to
monitor the operating status of the equipment and ensure the safe
and efficient operation of the power generation system.
- Automotive industry: Thermocouple cables are used in the automotive industry to
measure the temperature of engine exhaust gases, catalytic
converters, and other components. This helps to monitor the
performance of the engine and the emission control system, and is
also used in the testing and development of new automotive engines.
- Aerospace industry: In the aerospace field, thermocouple cables are used to measure
the temperature of aircraft engines, rocket engines, and other
high-temperature components. This is crucial for ensuring the
safety and reliability of aerospace vehicles during flight.
- Food industry: In the food processing industry, thermocouple cables are used to
measure the temperature of ovens, sterilization equipment, and
other processing equipment to ensure the safety and quality of food
processing.
- Laboratory and scientific research: Thermocouple cables are widely used in laboratories and
scientific research institutions for temperature measurement in
various experiments and research projects. For example, in material
research, chemical experiments, and biological research,
thermocouple cables are used to measure the temperature of samples
and reaction systems.
- HVAC systems: In heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems,
thermocouple cables are used to measure the temperature of air,
water, and other media to control the operation of the system and
ensure the comfort of the indoor environment.
The cables are also available in different configurations,
including grounded, ungrounded, and exposed junctions, to suit
specific application requirements. Grounded junctions provide
faster response times but are more susceptible to electrical noise,
while ungrounded junctions offer better electrical isolation but
slower response times. Exposed junctions are used when the fastest
response time is needed, but they are more vulnerable to damage.
Overall, K type thermocouple cables are a critical component in
temperature measurement systems, providing durability, accuracy,
and versatility across a wide range of applications.
