Have you ever grabbed a partially used Southwire CoilPAK and wondered how much wire is left? There are a couple ways to find out. The first method involves using an ohmmeter and calculating the resistance per thousand feet. If you want to do that, here is a resistance chart to help you, but if you’re like us, we’ll skip the math.
The second method only requires a luggage scale and a printable chart we will provide for you. Sound easier? Josh will demonstrate a simple method to determine the remaining wire length on your Southwire CoilPAK.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO SUCCEED
Think you can handle those steps? You can find a luggage scale on Amazon or similar stores for $10 or less. Once you weigh your CoilPAK, use this chart to see the remaining wire length based on the weight and conductor size.
