Type J Thermocouple extension wire (JP--Iron, JN-Cu-Ni):
Fe- CuNi thermocouple (type J) extension is also named
Iron-Constantan thermocouple.. It is used in vacuum, oxidizing,
inert or reducing atmospheres. Iron element oxidizes rapidly at
temperatures exceeding 538'C, and therefore heavier gauge wire is
recommended for longer life at these temperatures.
Our plant mainly manufacture type KX, NX, EX, JX, NC, TX, SC/RC,
KCA, KCB compensating wire for thermocouple, and they are used in
temperature measurement instruments and cables. Our thermocouple
compensating products are all made abiding by GB/T 4990-2010 'Alloy
wires of extension and compensating cables for thermocouples'
(Chinese National Standard), and also IEC584-3 'Thermocouple part
3-compensating wire' (International standard).
The thermocouple compensation cables can also be termed as
instrumentation cables, since they are used for process temperature
measurement. The construction is similar to pair instrumentation
cable but the conductor material is different. Thermocouples are
used in processes to sense temperature and is connected to the
pyrometers for indication and control. The thermocouple and
pyrometer are electrically conducted by thermocouple extension
cables / thermocouple compensating cables. The conductors used for
these thermocouple cables are required to have similar
thermo-electric (emf) properties as that of the thermocouple used
for sensing the temperature.
