Compensation and extension cables for thermocouples are the element of measuring installation connecting thermocouple sensor with measuring device e.g. controller, indicator or temperature recorder. Extension cables are made of the same materials as thermocouples, whereas compensation cables are made of substitute materials with properties similar to thermocouples. Cable insulation are selected according to ambient conditions and operating temperature.
Plugs and socket are components of measuring systems used for connection of temperature sensors with a measuring device such as controller, temperature indicator or recorder. They are also used for connections and extensions measuring lines.
