A summary of frequently asked questions and answers in an easy-to-understand Q&A format, with explanations! Please make use of it.

This document summarizes frequently asked questions and answers about compensation wires, heat-resistant wires, and thermocouples in an easy-to-understand Q&A format. For example, it covers topics such as "criteria for selecting the size of compensation wires," "how to identify VX, WX, and KX," and "the principle of thermocouples." Please make use of it. 【List of Questions (Excerpt)】 ■ What criteria should be used to determine the size of compensation wires? ■ What should be used to connect compensation wires to each other? ■ Is there a difference in grounding (earthing) methods between copper tape and copper braided shields? ■ What is the effect of shielding on compensation wires, and which shield has the highest shielding effectiveness? ■ I am currently using KX type compensation wires, but I would like to use VX due to budget constraints. Will there be any issues? *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
