Click on any linked wind parameters for full details on Steam Engine.
Some standard verification m.c. winds are included for perspective. All results were three times hit, verified on separate cargo-meters and variable in operation. Wire spec is Temco, Kanthal A-1. Nominal lead lengths typically noted on avg. are ~7mm(Neg)+9.25mm(Pos).
m.c.= conventional (hand or mechanically wound) contact coil
t.m.c. = tensioned contact coil
√ = verified (proofed, duplicated)
Your submissions would be helpful and appreciated. Please post or pm and I will validate (replicate) for this table as soon as possible.
(n.b. A mechanically wound coil is not necessarily tensioned. Preferably tension adequate to induce turn-adhesion must have been applied for its use to be inferred or reported. Not merely external heat or forming pressure. Thank you, as there will be resistance implications and its important to make the destination.)
Hope this info is helpful in targeting your temp sets. Let me know your validations please (or successful improvement so we can test it!).
Good luck all.
