Type C Thermocouple Wire

Type C Thermocouple Wire

Type C Thermocouple Extension Wire is designed to extend/transfer the thermocouple signal from C Type Thermocouple probes or sensors to Instrumentation.

  • Type C Extension Grade thermocouple wire is compensating materials it is not made from Tungsten-Rhenium materials.
  • Bare Wire Accuracy - extension grade thermocouple wire is typically tested to ensure accuracy in the temperature range of 32°F to 392°F (0°C to 200°C).
  • Insulations on the extension wire are typically FEP or PFA  fluoropolymers (400 to 500°F or 200 to 260°C) and Fiberglass Braid (900°F or 482°C)
    • Designs with wire insulation temperature ranges exceeding the typical bare wire accuracy range of 32°F to 392°F (0°C to 200°C) should be made from specially matched bare wire pairs to ensure accuracy in these higher temperature ranges.
  • ANSI Color Code of Type C thermocouple extension wire typically has a white positive wire, red negative wire and white outside PFA or FEP fluoropolymer outside jacket, although this can be confused with IEC color code for 2 conductor RTD wire.  
    • Evosensors has created this wire with an Orange colored jacket to eliminate the color code confusion.
    • Fiberglass Insulated Type C wire are white positive, red negative and white outside jacket with a red stripe.
