Each piece weighs approximately one half pennyweight (1\/2 DWT), for a combined total of approximately 1-1\/2 DWT. These are true \u003cstrong\u003eplumb gold solders\u003c\/strong\u003e, meaning they match the karat of the metal they are intended for use with, making them the correct choice for constructing new jewelry pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlumb gold solders differ from repair solders in an important way: repair solders contain a lower gold content than the work they are applied to and are designed to flow before plumb solders. Use plumb gold solders for new fabrication work, and reserve repair solders for repair applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEasy, medium, and hard designations describe the relative flow temperatures of these solders to one another. Easy flow will flow first, followed by medium, then hard — allowing the jeweler to plan a sequence of solder joins on a single piece without reflowing earlier joints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree 18K yellow gold plumb solders included in one kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlumb karat — matches the 18K gold content of the work piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for new jewelry fabrication and construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard solders designed for use with a torch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree flow temperatures allow sequential soldering without reflowing earlier joins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach solder also available for individual purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eKarat\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18K Yellow Gold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSolder Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlumb gold solder\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApplication Method\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTorch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePieces Included\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 (one each: easy, medium, hard)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight per Piece\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 1\/2 DWT each\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTotal Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 1-1\/2 DWT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e80C-551 — 18K Yellow Easy Flow solder (1430°F), approx. 1\/2 DWT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e80C-552 — 18K Yellow Medium Flow solder (1475°F), approx. 1\/2 DWT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e80C-553 — 18K Yellow Hard Flow solder (1550°F), approx. 1\/2 DWT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNotes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are plumb gold solders intended for use in new jewelry construction.
