Thermocouple EN 50288-7 XLPE Insulation IOS 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…). The individual screening of each pair limits the consequence of crosstalk.
