Silver wire and ribbon has the highest electrical and thermal conductivity of all metals. It is used to make lead wires for some mass spectrometer filaments and heaters.

Copper wire has an extremely high electrical conductivity making it highly suitable for electrical connections and thermal conductivity applications.

Molybdenum wire is used in a broad range of applications in many industries. Mandrels for making tungsten filaments along with leads, filament supports, and seals are among a few.

Platinum Wire is used in many applications including gasket or o-ring fabrication, thermocouples, electrical contacts, and heater coils.

For those users who have their own spotwelder, we offer the platinum wire and ribbon from which you can make your own heater coils or ribbons for the CDS pyroprobe. W214 : -,W215 : -

The tubes are constructed of a pure 99% alumina ceramic that has superior gas and vacuum tightness and excellent insulating properties even at elevated temperatures.

The following two hole alumina ceramic tube type insulators are available in six inch lengths.
