Resistance wire/Electrical Heating Wire The Formula will help you make the decision about what resistance wire/electrical heating wire specification do you need.
Temperature:
oF = (oC*1.8) + 32
oC =(oF - 32)/1.8

oK = oC + 273.15
oR = oF + 459.67
Ohms Law:
V = (I)*R
V = volts, I = current in amperes, R = resistance in ohms

Power:
P = V*(I)
P = Power in watts, V = voltage, I = current in amperes
P = (I)2*R
P = Power in watts, R = resistance in ohms, I = current in amperes
P = (V)2/R
P = Power in watts, V = voltage, R = resistance in ohms
