Thermocouples - Part 3: Extension and compensating cables - Tolerances and identification system
IEC 60584-3:2021 It is necessary for thermocouple temperature measurement that the electro-motive force (abbreviated as e.m.f. hereafter) of the thermocouple circuit is precisely measured by a measuring instrument. A thermocouple is electrically connected to the instrument by a proper pair of electric cables. IEC 60584-3:2021 standardizes these cables. It specifies identification and manufacturing tolerances for extension and compensating cables (mineral insulated extension and compensating cables are not included) provided directly to users of industrial processes. These tolerances are determined with respect to the e.m.f. ver-sus temperature relationship of IEC 60584-1. The requirements for extension and compensating cables for use in industrial process control are specified.

Couples thermoélectriques - Partie 3: Câbles d'extension et de compensation - Tolérances et système d'identification
IEC 60584-3:2021 Pour le mesurage de la température des couples thermoélectriques, il est nécessaire que la force électromotrice du circuit des couples thermoélectriques soit mesurée de manière précise à l'aide d'un appareil de mesure. Un couple thermoélectrique est relié électriquement à l'appareil de mesure au moyen d'une paire de câbles électriques appro-priée. L'IEC 60584-3:2021 normalise ces câbles. Elle spécifie les tolérances pour la fabrica-tion et l'identification des câbles d'extension et de compensation (autres que les câbles d'extension et de compensation à isolation minérale) fournis directement aux utilisateurs de procédés industriels. Ces tolérances sont déterminées par rapport à la relation force électromotrice - température établie dans l'IEC 605841. Les exigences relatives aux câbles d'extension et de compensation destinés à être utilisés dans le cadre de la com-mande des processus industriels sont spécifiées.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote interna-
tional co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this
end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Tech-
nical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publica-
tion(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the
subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental
organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the Interna-
tional Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between
the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all inter-
ested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinter-
pretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence be-
tween any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and ex-
penses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publica-
tions.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60584-3 has been prepared by subcommittee 65B: Measurement
and control devices, of IEC Technical Committee 65: Industrial-process measurement, control
and automation.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition issued in 2007. This edition consti-
tutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) revision of tolerance values to take recent technological advancement into account,
b) addition of new colour coding for the thermocouple Type C and A in response to the newly
revised IEC 60584‑1 Edition 3
