3.1 Terms
3.1.1 Extension and compensating cables for thermocouples A pair of wires with an insulating layer that have the same nominal value of the thermoelectric electromotive force as the matched thermocouple within a certain temperature range (including room temperature) and are used to connect thermocouples and measuring devices to compensate for the errors caused by temperature changes at the connection between them and the thermocouple. Compensating cables are divided into two types: extension type and compensating type. Approved by the State Administration of Technical Supervision on December 22, 1994 and implemented on October 1, 1995.
3.1.2Extension cables
extension cables
GB/T 4989—94
Extension cables are also called extension compensation cables. The nominal chemical composition and nominal value of thermoelectric emf of their alloy wires are the same as those of the thermocouple wires. They are indicated by the letter "X" added after the thermocouple graduation number, for example "EX". 3.1.3Compensating cablesCompensating cables are also called compensating compensation cables. The nominal chemical composition of their alloy wires is different from that of the thermocouple wires. However, their thermoelectric emf values are the same as those of the thermocouples at 0-100℃ or 0-200℃. They are indicated by the letter "C" added after the thermocouple graduation number, for example "KC". Different alloy wires can be used for thermocouples of the same model (grading number) and are distinguished by additional letters, for example KCA and KCB.
3.1.4 Tolerance tolerance
The tolerance of the compensation wire for thermocouples is the maximum additional deviation caused by the introduction of extended compensation wire or compensation compensation wire into the measurement system. The value is expressed in microvolts. 3.2 Symbols
