Thermocouple Cable Assembly

Thermocouple cable assemblies are a type of cable used in temperature measurement applications. They are specifically designed to connect thermocouples, which are temperature sensors, to measurement devices or control systems.

In the supply class Miscellaneous Electric Power And Distribution Equipment, thermocouple cable assemblies are categorized under the supply group Electric Wire, And Power And Distribution Equipment. This indicates that they are part of the broader category of electric wire and power distribution equipment.

Thermocouple cable assemblies are typically composed of two different types of wires made from different metals, known as thermocouple wires. These wires are joined together at one end to form a thermocouple junction, which is the sensing point for temperature measurement. The other ends of the wires are terminated with connectors or terminals for easy connection to measurement devices or control systems.

Thermocouple cable assemblies are designed to withstand high temperatures and provide accurate temperature measurements. They are available in various types, such as Type K, Type J, Type T, etc., which correspond to different combinations of thermocouple wire materials.

These cable assemblies are commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, HVAC, automotive, aerospace, and more, where precise temperature measurement is crucial for process control, quality assurance, and safety.

When selecting a thermocouple cable assembly, it is important to consider factors such as the temperature range, accuracy requirements, insulation material, and overall durability to ensure reliable and accurate temperature measurements.
