Abstract

This study was performed to evaluate the temperature rise on various position of the Buchanan plugger, the peak temperature of plugger's type and the temperature change by its touching time of heat control spring. The System B (Model 1005, Analytic Technologies, USA) and the Buchanan pluggers of F, FM, M and ML are used for this study. The temperature was set to $200^{\circ}C$. The power level on it was set to 10. The heat control spring was touched for 1,2,3,4 and 5 seconds respectively. (omitted)
