Hi, I'm Dan (DanF on here), been here a few months.
I'm looking for a couple of pieces of wire (insulated and heat resistant), of suitable gauge to connect a thermocouple to a pid. I need 2 pc, 3-5' long.
I have several pounds of satanite, or a couple of square ft of inswool and/or high temp wool, or a couple lbs of bubble alumina to trade, or would be happy to buy.
Thanks,
Dan
 
DanF, your wire will need to be thermocouple wire of the type of thermocouple you have. Typically a type K TC is used and the TC wire is the same material as the TC itself. One leg (wire) of the TC is . The max temp the TC will be exposed to will determine type of insulation and size of wire. A forge takes a totally different setup than does a tempering oven, or a HT oven for that matter. 3 different setups, 3 different requirements.
