INFORMATION ON HANDLING AND USAGE AT LOW TEMPERATURES Attention is drawn to the fact that as the temperature decreases PVC compounds become increasingly stiff and brittle, with the result that if the cable is bent quickly into a small radius, or is struck sharply at temperatures in the region of 0C or lower, there is a risk of shattering the PVC components. To avoid the risk of damage during handling, therefore, it is desirable that the cables specified in this standard should be installed only when both the cable and the ambient temperatures are above 0C and have been so for the previous 24 hrs, or where special precautions have been taken to maintain the cable above this temperature. However, after installation, they will operate satisfactorily at temperatures between -40C and +65C providing that at temperatures below 0C they are not subject to movement or impact. The manufacturer should be consulted for precise instructions if the cable is to be stored and/or used outside these temperature limits.

INFORMATION ON HANDLING AND USAGE AT LOW TEMPERATURES Attention is drawn to the fact that as the temperature decreases PVC compounds become increasingly stiff and brittle, with the result that if the cable is bent quickly into a small radius, or is struck sharply at temperatures in the region of 0C or lower, there is a risk of shattering the PVC components. To avoid the risk of damage during handling, therefore, it is desirable that the cables specified in this standard should be installed only when both the cable and the ambient temperatures are above 0C and have been so for the previous 24 hrs, or where special precautions have been taken to maintain the cable above this temperature. However, after installation, they will operate satisfactorily at temperatures between -40C and +65C providing that at temperatures below 0C they are not subject to movement or impact. The manufacturer should be consulted for precise instructions if the cable is to be stored and/or used outside these temperature limits.

Notes 1: Cable temperature range may be restricted to figures lower than those shown in the table because of temperature limitations imposed by the insulant. 2: A cable comprising two copper conductors may be used with Type B thermocouples. The expected maximum additional deviation within the cable temperature range 0C to +100C is 40 mV. The equivalent in temperature is 3.5C when the measuring junction of the thermocouple is at 1400C.

Thermocouple Cables
The following information gives details on thermocouple wire tolerances and identification taken from BS4937 Part 30. BS4937: International thermocouple reference tables. Part 30: Extension and compensation cables. Tolerances and identification systems. Tolerance Values The table shows the specified tolerance for extension and compensating cables when used at temperatures within the ranges indicated as Cable temperature range. The table also includes, in parentheses, the approximate equivalent tolerances in degrees Celsius. Because thermocouple e.m.f. temperature relationships are non-linear the tolerance in degrees Celsius depends on the temperature of the measuring junction of the thermocouple. The figures shown in the table are those appropriate to the measuring junction temperatures in the final column. In most cases the error expressed in degrees Celsius will be larger at lower thermocouple junction temperatures.
