In years past, we had a spec where 60C was the the hottest temp allowable on
any exposed accessible surface. On a metal surface with high thermal
conductivity and significant thermal mass (e.g. aluminum heat sink), it feels
very warm to the touch, only starts to cause pain after many seconds,
All,
I am taking this off-list since it is so far off topic.
What I said seems to have been somewhat misinterpreted.
1. "Threshold of pain" means it starts to hurt, not "I can't stand it any more".
2. The surface temperature of a child's forehead when running a fever of 106
degrees is less
Ahh, well, a few comments clarifications, from a guy with 38 years of
experience (HVAC/mechanical and controls engineering) with Carrier air
conditioning.
Opening comment (not really my area of expertise, but I do have moderate
relevant experience), the heat pain threshold is quite variable
100°F is well within the survivable body core temperature range, so it
should never trigger pain receptors.
In fact, I believe it was defined based on the nominal core body
temperature of a cow.
Did you mean 100°C?

Another rule of thumb for those who care.
When you hold a finger on something and it is 10 seconds to pain threshold,
that location is about 100 degrees F.
This is not an absolute constant, but I have checked it a few times since I was
told that, and it seems to be true for me.

My rule of thumb is that if you can keep your finger on it for a second or
so without pain, it's not too hot.
The ambient temperature is really not the issue as much as whether heat is
carried off. I know it's hot in the pacific northwest but I think you can
still enjoy your gear. The

Andy,
Wayne was right, I meant that Eric had gone way beyond what was expected,
in a good way. My understanding of the phrase was it meant beyond bad
things and into the good. Sorry if you saw it otherwise. Guess I better
watch out for the wordsmiths.

Beyond the pale - outside the safe area protected by the British in Ireland.
Normally taken to mean immoral, dangerous and probably obscene.

"Beyond the pale" is an infrequently used idiomatic expression (at least in the
U.S.), probably misunderstood by many. I believe it is used in a negative sense
for the most part, but clearly that isn't what the writer meant.
