EXTENSION v COMPENSATING CABLE
Extension cable is designated X (e.g. KX for type K); compensating cable
has a C designation (e.g. KC for Vx, type K) and consists of Vx and U types.
Extension cable has a temperature vs e.m.f. relationship to an
appropriate standard over the complete temperature range. It can,
therefore, be used for producing a thermocouple junction and for joining
thermocouples to their measuring instruments. It is limited in temperature
only by the rating of its insulation.
Compensating cable is of different composition to extension cable but
has a similar temperature v e.m.f. relationship over a limited range, and
should only be used for joining thermocouples to their
measuring instruments. It can only be used in limited ambient
temperature, generally not higher than 80°C.
SELECTING YOUR CABLES
Guide to Cable Insulation and Coverings
Screened or unscreened?
With long cable runs, the cable may need to be screened and earthed at one
end (at the instrument) to minimise noise pick-up (interference) on the
measuring circuit. Alternative types of screened cable construction are
available and these include the use of copper or mylar screening. Twisted pair
configurations are offered and these can incorporate screening as required.
Single or multi-strand?
The choice is mainly determined by the application (e.g. termination
considerations and internal diameter of associated sheath). Generally,
single strand wires are used for hot junctions, and multi-strand or thicker
single strand for extensions of the thermocouple. The greater the effective
conductor diameter, the lower the value of thermocouple loop resistance,
an important consideration with long cable runs.

Application Notes
Good general purpose insulation for
“light” environments. Waterproof and
very flexible.
Resistant to oils, acids other adverse
agents and fluids. Good mechanical
strength and flexibility. PTFE better for
steam/elevated pressure environments
Resistant to oils, acids other adverse
agents and fluids. Good mechanical
strength and flexibility.
Good temperature range but will not
prevent ingress of fluids. Fairly
flexible but does not provide good
mechanical protection.
Will withstand temperature up to 700°C
but will not prevent ingress of fluids.
Fairly flexible, not good protection
against physical disturbance.
Will withstand high temperature, up to
1000°C. Will not protect against fluids
or physical disturbance.
Good resistance to physical
disturbance and high temperature (up
to 400°C). Will not prevent ingress of
fluids.
