Compensation cable type R/S R/SCSiLSi 2x1.5 mm² 18048909

Temperature compensation cable – reliability in harsh conditions

This high-quality compensation cable, type R/S, designated RSCASiLSi 2x1.5 QMM, is designed for reliable connection and extension of thermocouples. Made with attention to detail, it ensures precise temperature readings even in extreme industrial conditions. The cable is particularly useful where standard wiring would not withstand high temperatures or an aggressive environment.

Construction and materials – the key to durability

The cable is characterized by a solid construction. Its cores are made of special metals or metal alloys (PtRh13-Pt, PtRh10-Pti), providing appropriate thermoelectric characteristics. Core insulation and the outer coating are made of silicone, guaranteeing flexibility and resistance to high temperatures – from -60°C to +180°C. A braid of galvanized steel or copper wires further protects the cable against mechanical damage. This combination of materials translates into long life and reliability in demanding applications.

Application and benefits – for the installer and user

The R/S compensation cable is ideal for use in the metallurgical, foundry, chemical, energy industries, and research laboratories. It enables precise temperature measurement in production processes, quality control, and device monitoring.

• Wide temperature range: The cable allows operation with type R thermocouples (PtRh13-PT) in the range of 0°C to 1600°C.
• Resistance to external factors: Silicone insulation and coating provide resistance to high temperatures, aggressive chemicals, and moisture.
• Flexibility: The cable design ensures easy installation and adaptation to various installation configurations.
• Expandability: It is possible to order control cables with PVC or silicone insulation, with a number of cores from 1 to 25 and a cross-section from 0.5 to 2.5 mm².
• Special orders: The option of manufacturing cables with a special construction, tailored to individual customer needs, is available.

It is important to remember the difference between compensation cables (C) and thermoelectric cables (X). Compensation cables use substitute materials in the cores, while thermoelectric cables are made of the same materials as the thermocouple – which ensures the highest measurement accuracy. This specific model is a compensation cable.
