Product Overview
This Puratronic™ copper wire delivers ultra-high purity (99.9999% metals basis) with a 0.5mm diameter, making it ideal for demanding laboratory environments where trace impurities can compromise results. Engineered for exceptional electrical conductivity and thermal stability, it ensures consistent performance in sensitive applications. The wire’s uniform diameter and ultra-low oxygen content minimize variability, while its high ductility allows for precise shaping without compromising structural integrity. Free from common contaminants like iron, nickel, and lead, this copper wire meets stringent analytical standards for research-grade materials. Its Puratronic™ certification guarantees rigorous quality control, ensuring reliability in critical experiments. Available in 1m, 5m, and 25m lengths, it offers flexibility for both small-scale testing and larger-scale setups. The wire’s smooth surface finish reduces oxidation risks, extending its shelf life under proper storage conditions.
FAQs
1. What is the maximum temperature this copper wire can withstand without degradation?
This Puratronic™ copper wire maintains structural integrity up to 200°C under normal lab conditions, though prolonged exposure to higher temperatures may affect its properties.
2. Is this wire compatible with standard soldering techniques?
Yes, the 99.9999% purity ensures excellent solderability with lead-free and traditional solders, though flux may be required for optimal bonding.
3. How does Puratronic™ grade differ from standard copper wire?
Puratronic™ grade undergoes additional refining to remove trace impurities (below 10 ppm total), resulting in superior conductivity and reduced experimental interference.
4. Can this wire be used in vacuum environments?
The ultra-low outgassing properties make it suitable for high-vacuum applications, though pre-cleaning with acetone is recommended to remove surface contaminants.
5. What’s the typical resistance per meter for this 0.5mm wire?
At 20°C, the resistance is approximately 0.022 ohms/meter, though this may vary slightly with temperature and handling conditions.
