trace metals basis

platinum
Platinum wires in the SigmaAldrich catalog. The other is "thermocouple grade". Some examples:
"diam. 0.25 mm, thermocouple grade
diam. 0.127 mm, 99.9% trace metals basis
diam. 1.5 mm, 99.9+ % trace metals basis
diam. 0.076 mm, 99.99+ % trace metals basis"
(I would like to make out which is better for electrodes.)

metal purity (99.9% pure)
The purity of the metal has been determined by an assay of trace metals. This means that not more than 0.1% of the product is trace metal and the rest is the compound they say it is.
If you look at the ghits for this term here
http://www.google.it/search?hl=it&q="trace metals basis"&btn...
you will see that the purity varies and is expressed as a % of the substance.

Sorry, I can't tell you which is better for electrodes - that is not a language question. You need to go to an expert.

Comment: "I knew the 99.9% was about purity, but the explanation was informative. Thank you."
