Thermocouple EN 50288-7 Hypron® XLPE Insulation IOS Unarmoured Fire retardant

Applications

These compensation and extension cables are used with thermocouples for temperature measurements in moist areas and where aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons may be present. The individual screening of each pair limits the consequence of crosstalk. Hypron® offers an alternative to conventional lead covered cable and is an environmental friendly solution.
