>From my previous post I was looking at a setup to measure the tip of the solder gun. So far I have managed to nail some specs I need to get the measurement. The thermocouple wire should be type K. The sales guy claims that the thermocouple wire can withstand heat up to 1200C but the tip of the thermocouple wire can only withstand 400C. My question. Is it possible to obtain a few strips of thermocouple wire K that can withstand up to 500C*the tip of the thermocouple wire* ? ____________________________________________________________________________________You snooze, you lose.
