CABLES FOR TEMPERATURE SENSORS
When manufacturing or designing temperature sensors - selecting the right cable is one of the most important details. We stock vast amounts of cable for both thermocouples and RTD’s in many material types, conductor sizes and styles, below is some general information on the cables we stock.
CABLE INSULATION
These insulation types can also have additional outer sheaths of insulation, stainless steel braid, copper braid or flexible conduit fitted to improve mechanical protection or service temperature.
- PVC
- -10 to 105°C
- SILICONE
- -60 to 200°C
- FEP
- -75 to 200°C
- PFA
- -75 to 250°C
- PTFE
- -75 to 260°C
- FIBREGLASS
- 0 to 350°C
- HT FIBREGLASS
- 0 to 700°C
