Leads, connectors and cables of thermocouples and compensating cables are color-coded according to specific codes. DIN 43714 lists the German identification colors for the color identification of thermocouples and compensating cables. Their color scale differs from, among others, the US (ANSI MC 91.1), European (DIN EN 60584), British (BS4937/1843) and French (NF C 42–324) color codes. The identification colors make visible which materials (Cu, CuNi, FE, NiCr, NiCrSi and others) the leads, plugs and cables of the thermocouples are made of and how their electrical polarization is applied.
