Anyone need any HiTemp wire?

Hi, Gunner. If the wire is indeed thermocouple wire, each wire will be a different metal. The plastic will be Teflon and the fabric will be woven glass fiber for high temp insulation. If a little bit of the wire is stripped and then then welded to each other, you will have a fine thermocouple. The green may indicate the metal used in the wires.

probably K-type thermocouple wire, used to make temperature probes

Green is the North American color code for type R or S extension wire.

Extension wires for S & R (Platinum-Platinum-Rhodium, either 10% for S or 13% for R) are made from base metals, which are chosen to have close to the thermocouple voltage of the noble metal alloys at the relatively low temperatures where the extension wire lives.

So, the extension wire has no special salvage value. The thermocouple wire, OTOH, is very valuable, and is typically rather fine gauge, used in short pieces, and is typically well protected.

R & S types are quite similar in application and useful range, but differ a smidge in calibration. The fact they both exist is due to an accident and insistence on backwards compatibility in an era when instruments were relatively expensive and inflexible.

Ill copy off the data on the spools when I get home this weekend.

As Martin Fishburn can attest..I also have a shitload of thermocouples

And an even bigger shitload of cartridge type mould heaters of all sorts

Calling me a fish ? - I can attest also! I got some when I was there. Martin [ awaiting an address and pictures from bud Gunner ]

Wooops..sorry Martin...I have another friend who's name IS Fishburn...sigh...

Ill email them to you this evening.

Teasing -

burn in old English is creek or small river. We had property East of the burn. Some had fish in theirs.

This was during the first book of names taken in England. Most of them made up by those writing the books. 'this family will be named...'

Martin [ know Fishburn, Blackburn, Westburn, Farburn, .....] I often get my last name scrambled - mostly to Eastman. A more common name.
