Holyman Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 I'm experimenting on an exhaust coating but I'd like to know what the surface temp of the exhaust pipe is mainly where your pants melt to the pipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cotton eyed Joe Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 This is what I've been told by the sled heads here....1100-1150 is where they like to drag race at. I guess at around 1200-1250 the aluminum pistons start to get, how shall we say...mushy.... I would assume 1000F for regular day to day riding, but I don't have an egt...just an estimate. I have no personal experience other than what these guys here have told me. If I'm wrong, I'll go beat them for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuff Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Last year for my thermal-fluids lab we had to dyno a 5hp briggs&stratton and we measured exhaust temp. We consistently saw temps range from 1100-1300F. The exhaust probe was mounted just past the cylinder head in the centerline of flow. But, as you travel towards the outside diameter of the pipe the temp will drop as well as the temp dropping the farther down the pipe. We never measured it, but I have heard temps around 700F at the perimeter of the header pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erbilabuc Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 I have a infrared thermometer and I see anywere from 400(idle) to like 800(wot) Ill do a few runs in the am and hollah back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holyman Posted April 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 I have a infrared thermometer and I see anywere from 400(idle) to like 800(wot) Ill do a few runs in the am and hollah back This should be interesting. I painted the blaster pipe with BBQ paint rated for 1200* and it hasn't blistered and I know that steel changes color around 1000*. So I'm thinking the pipe exterior surface temp should be 700* or less. But I have no real way of knowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis's Banshee Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 LOL, Shorts weren't the problem. It was the lack of riding boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis's Banshee Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 AAAHHHHHH, pure stupidity on my part. My tech 8's were sitting in the trailer. I figured what could happen I'm just going to go out a warm it up a bit, then I'll come back and get dressed. Oh well, all healed now. Sorry for getting off your original topic Holyman.
