    Platinum Wire

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Platinum. Platinum Wire.
    99.95% pure, this platinum wire is used for applications that require a soft material that resists corrosion and oxidation and has a high melting point. This wire allows heat and electricity to pass and resists oxide buildup, making it ideal for thermocouple probes, which require accurate readings even at high temperatures. Soft enough to create a good seal between two flanges, it's also used to make high-vacuum O-rings. Platinum's softness means it won't damage the flanges, so they can be used again. The high melting point of this wire makes it a better choice for sealing heated flanges than other materials such as gold.

    Coated Wire Rope

    3 × 7 Hollow Core

    Hang fixtures and tether equipment without scratching hooks and other nearby objects. The plastic coating on this wire rope prevents abrasion while further protecting the inner wires from corrosion and damage. All rope is manufactured in the U.S.
    Warning: Not for overhead lifting.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—With solid stainless steel construction, this wire rope has no plating that could wear away. It resists rust, but it won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
    Nylon Coating—Resists abrasion better than other coatings. It also stands up to mild chemicals, but will swell if exposed to moisture.
    Wire Rope Construction—Strand cores are more crush and impact-resistant than hollow cores. However, you can run electrical wiring or fluid conduit through hollow core ropes.
