    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.

    Semi-Flexible Wire Rope

    1 × 7 Strand Core

    Support utility poles, scaffolding, and masts with our most rigid wire rope. Formed with fewer and thicker wires than other rope, it won't bend easily, keeping fixtures upright and stable under tension.
    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.
    Wire Rope Construction—Strand core rope is crush and impact-resistant.
    Preformed—With each wire shaped into a spiral before being twisted onto the rope, they maintain their shape when cut. This keeps them from unraveling or poking equipment and users.
