Compensating/Extension Cables

Compensating Cables are indispensable for precise temperature measurement at remote measurement points; they serve as extension leads from the thermocouple sensor to the measuring instrument. Compensating cables are made from metallic materials having similar thermoelectric properties as the thermocouple in use, the extension wires are made with similar material as of thermocouple element and are expensive, but cheap alloys of different combinations having milli-volts (e.m.f.) matched as closely as possible to the thermocouple at ambient temperatures to thermocouple are compensating wires.
