Insulated Thermocouple Wire

Insulated thermocouple wire is used to carry temperature measurement signals from a thermocouple sensor to a meter, controller, data logger, or monitoring system. It is commonly used in industrial equipment, ovens, furnaces, processing systems, and temperature control applications.

Type E thermocouple wire uses Chromel and Constantan conductors. Type EX is an extension-grade version used to connect a Type E thermocouple to instrumentation over a distance while maintaining the correct conductor pairing and signal path.

Thermocouple systems depend on specific metal conductor pairs to produce an accurate temperature signal. Using the wrong conductor type or mixing incompatible wire can cause incorrect temperature readings.

The right insulation depends on the temperature range, flexibility needs, abrasion exposure, moisture, chemicals, and whether the wire will be used in a high-heat or industrial environment. Common considerations include continuous and intermittent temperature ratings.

Yes. Thermocouple wire may be available in different sizes, conductor constructions, insulation types, jackets, and configurations depending on the application. Custom Cable Corp. can help identify the right thermocouple wire for the equipment, environment, and temperature measurement requirements.
