Recently I wound and replaced four elements in an old kiln. Because my
ohmmeter was out of adjustment, my elements resistance is 7.2 ohms
instead of the prescribed 8 ohms (the element wire is too short!!!!)
My question is whether I can use the elements as they are or will I need
to make up new ones. Also what exactly is the effect of the shorter
elements on the kiln's heating up. Will it heat up faster and hotter or
slower and cooler???
Any insight would be appreciated.
