  2. SS316L Help

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    There are so many 'SS316L' alloy mixes, nevermind the non SAE conversions that it's difficult to use any SS316L without knowing exactly what you have. 

    Here's some for UD SS316L, version 4 is a tad warmer; I'm using 1 single 24 gauge wire at appx 0.32 Ohms. The 'standard' SS316L was too cool.

    Version 3 - http://www.filedropper.com/dna200-ud-ss316ldjaquithv3

    Version 4 - http://www.filedropper.com/dna200-ud-ss316ldjaquithv4

    Another variant of SS316L - http://www.filedropper.com/dna200-ss316ldjaquithv7 

  6. stainless steel and temperature control

    I've run across this topic and had the same thoughts about SS TC issues. The SS316L wire I received using the TCR files would glow my coils orange and light my cotton on fire. So I don't know if it's my wire or not, but I manually edited the Steam Engine's DNA 200 SS316L profile. After 7 attempts it seems to be regulating better and my cotton isn't lighting on fire. 

    Values I'm using now:

    Temperature (degF)Electrical Resistivity
    -580.923064
    681
    2121.05
    3021.105
    3921.147
    4821.2
    5721.225
    8001.29

  8. LiFe Batteries

    Brandon,

    I know you're trying to help and for that thanks. However, there isn't anything out there you've tested? Sure you can Series 3 x 18650 LiFePO4 batteries, in that case I'll use my regular 18650's instead. Certainly in 'testing' you guys looked into non-LiPo batteries, didn't you?

    There are no 'small' packs, just LiPo's and a few at that.

    Instead, most LiFePO4 packs are 30 mm minimum LxWxH cube minimum or are silly in length. e.g. 137 mm (~5.4") and larger.

    Examples 3S LiFePO4 packs - http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_listCategoriesAndProducts.asp?idCategory=218&LiPoConfig=3&sortlist=&CatSortOrder=desc

    137mm = 5.4"

  9. LiFe Batteries

    I'm aware they're larger and it is the reason I'm asking. I'm trying to find the smallest LiFe (LFE, LiFePO4) battery that will work on the DNA 200. As am I certain many prefer not to use a LiPo. Simply I prefer the chemistry of LiFePO4 batteries.
