Thermocouple EN 50288-7 XLPE Insulation OS Armoured Fire retardant

Applications

These compensation and extension cables are used with thermocouples for temperature measurements. They are well adapted to underground use in industrial applications where hydrocarbons may be present and where chemical and mechanical protections are needed (refinery areas, chemical plant…).

Design

Conductor:

Metals in accordance with the thermocouple, either solid cross section 0.5 mm² (1 x 0.8 mm), 1.34 mm² (1 x 1.3 mm) or flexible of cross section 1 mm² (14 x 0.30 mm)

Insulation:

Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE)

Overall screen:

Binder tape

Tinned copper drain wire

Aluminium backed polyester tape

Bedding:

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
