Color Cards
What color card do you use for VTNC non shielded?
Cosmic orange
What is the difference between thermocouple grade and extension grade?
Thermocouple grade wire is wire that is used to make the sensing point (or probe part) of the thermocouple.
Extension grade wire is only used to extend a thermocouple signal from a probe back to the instrument reading the signal.
What is the difference between the AIA and CCW?
AIA = Aluminum interlocked Armor
CCW = Continuous corrugated weld
(AIA) = more flexible
(CCW) = Rigid, more durable
