Compensation cable type K AN(GI-SIL) 2x0.5 mm² 48216

Compensating leads – precision temperature measurements

The AN(GI-SIL) 2x0.5 compensating lead is a specialized cable designed to connect thermocouples to measuring devices. Its main task is to ensure the accuracy of temperature measurement by minimizing errors resulting from the thermoelectric potential difference between the measurement point and the reading device. The cable's construction, with conductors made of special alloys (Fe/Cu-Ni, Ni/Cr-Ni or Pt-Rh/Pt) and insulation adapted to specific operating conditions, guarantees stable and reliable measurements.

Construction and application

The AN(GI-SIL) 2x0.5 lead consists of two conductors, which can be made of different materials depending on the type of thermocouple it will work with. Available materials include: Fe/Cu-Ni, Ni/Cr-Ni and Pt-Rh/Pt. The conductors are insulated with high-quality materials – PVC, silicone, fluoropolymer or fiberglass – which ensures resistance to external factors and long-term operation. Additionally, the cable can be equipped with a braided screen made of tinned steel or copper wires, which protects against electromagnetic interference.

Compensating leads are widely used in industry, laboratories and anywhere precise temperature measurements are required. They are indispensable in temperature regulation and measurement systems in production processes, scientific research and environmental monitoring. Thanks to their construction and properties, they enable accurate readings even in difficult industrial conditions.
