How to Determine Heat Penetration Wire Length

September 15, 2021

To determine the length of the Heat Penetration Wires, you will have to consider the size of the retort you will be using for testing, as well as the location of the Packing Gland installed on the retort.

TechniCAL recommends at least 10 feet of wire outside the retort between the packing gland and the CALPlex Datalogger.
