Hi Guys,
Just received a whole load of spools of SS316L and Kanthal Wire from the wire mesh company in Warrington.
They have also sent me some free spools of about what looks m me 30-32 gauge wire but not sure what it is? All it has on it has a small red round sticker. Not sure what colour code they use.
Does anyone know?
Thanks.
 
Take a meter length and test it's resistance, all wire has a set resistance
 
Good Idea, but may have an issue of not knowing if it is 30 or 32 gauge.
Will try and compare it to the resdistance value table.
Thanks
 
Have found out that a blue sticker is for Kanthal.
 
Kanthal, ni200 and NiFe are magnetic. Nichrome 80 will be nice and soft, I assume stainless steels will be fairly tough :/
 
Emailed them twice in the past week but got no response, phoned them today and no answer, maybe closed on the weekend.
