neutronflux If i had to correct every mistake you made in this thread and called you on your whataboutery in this thread, I will be here all day. I posted a reputable source where temperatures were shown between 400f up to 2800f. Continue on though believing temperatures never got above 1300c

neutronflux Nasa exposed this event for what it really is anyway. When images were taken hot spots showed up in excess of 1300c on Sep 16th and could have been hotter on Sep 11th
Initial Estimates from AVIRIS of the Temperature and Fractional Areas of Fires at the World Trade Center Disaster

RESULTS
The algorithm was applied to the highest intensity spectrum from each of the eight hot-fire areas identified. Figure 9 shows a portion of an AVIRIS image of the World Trade Center disaster site acquired on the 16th of September. The eight hot-fire areas identified are labeled A to H. Table 1 shows the corresponding locations of the hot-fire areas and the derived temperature and fractional area for the analyzed spectra. Temperatures range from 700 to 984 K, and fractional areas range from 1.5 to 18 % for the 16th of September data sets.
TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT AND THERMAL IMAGING CAMERAS

A number of factors affect the accuracy of NCTM, including the material being measured, its temperature, the humidity of the room, atmospheric interference (such as smoke or steam), the cleanliness of the sensor lens, the distance to the material, the angle at which the surface is measured, and other conditions. The two most important factors influencing the accuracy of NCTM are emissivity and distance-to-spot ratio.

Here is Jim Millette's latest reply to the new 9/11 Truth chant that "he didn't do DSC so his testing is invalid":
Chris,
My assessment of the situation is that researchers performed DSC on some WTC chips and found what they thought was an exothermic reaction. They then formed a hypothesis that this might be caused by thermite materials in the dust. As is required in scientific inquires their hypothesis was testable. They set out to confirm their hypothesis by testing the chips. Their microscopical analysis showed some results that they concluded were consistent with thermite or nano-thermite. I was asked to analyze the materials to see if I could confirm or not confirm their conclusion. My initial tests showed similar findings in terms of the characteristics of the chips. However, additional testing following analytical forensic methods showed that the chips were not thermite or nano-thermite. We repeated the tests on 4 different samples from different locations and found the same result – not thermite. It seems to me that the ball is now in their court. The DSC testing can suggest a type of material based on thermal properties but cannot be used to prove the existence of thermite. If they believe that the DSC results clearly show an exothermic reaction they need to come up with another testable hypothesis as to what the chips are as they are not thermite.

But this claim took a hit this spring when the microscopy consulting firm MVA Scientific Consultants in Duluth, Ga. released a study of these chips collected from WTC dust.

Their conclusion: There is no evidence of individual elemental aluminum particles that you would expect to see from a thermite burn. They say the red/gray chips found in the WTC dust at four sites in New York City are consistent with a carbon-steel coated with an epoxy resin that contains primarily iron oxide and kaolin clay pigments. And there is no evidence of individual elemental aluminum particles of any size in the red/gray chips, so the red layer of the red/gray chips is not thermite or nano-thermite.
And WTC conspiracy theorists' claim that microscopic spheres of iron found in WTC dust could only have been formed with thermite was recently debunked by a group called New Mexicans for Science and Reason who pointed out that very small metal particles have a much lower melting point than bulk material. Wires and filaments from electronics in the WTC are the likely source of the microspheres.

Another primer at the WTC: LaClede Standard Primer
oystein-debate.blogspot.com...
Claims that Niels Harrit proved that some red-gray chips in the WTC dust are not WTC primer are basing this claim on the FALSE assumption that Tnemec was the only primer used. In fact, I will show that the chips that Harrit proved to not be Tnemec look very much like LaClede Standard Primer.
Break
Conclusion
I have shown that Harrit's argument, re-gray chips (a)-(d) can't be primer because they are not consistent with Tnemec, falls flat on its face, because Tnemec was not the only primer used on WTC steel.

Can you actually quote a study that actually labeled a specific hotspot being 1300c? Can you cite an actual log of recorded hotspots at the WTC being 1300c? How big were the hot spots? What type of thermal imager was used? Hand held firefighter’s thermal camera? An actual police helicopter thermal imaging device with emmistivity set to find people buried in the pile?
So many factors on a generic single state of 2800F you throw out with no record of it being a recorded survey? Makes you wonder why there is not an actual recoded survey you can cite.
I have found a few conspiracist’s PDFs that claim the 2800F temperature, but actually don’t provide a footnote where that temperature came from, or what calibrated device measured that temperature?

The fly overs were good indications where the hottest spots were in relations to each other and the pile. Because of the jumble of materials in the WTC pile, emissivity, and distance to spot ratio, the flyover thermal imaging was probably not accurate.

Anything that burns and produces more heat than it uses for the reaction is exothermic. Burning paint chips are exothermic.
Please cite Harrit where he published results using an experiment that would conclusively prove thermite. Like trying to ignite his dust sample in an inert atmosphere.
And the other problems with is thermite paper.....
Harrit’s paper was published in a pay to play journal.
Harrit’s paper was unethically published as peer reviewed with the referee bypassed. And at least one of the persons that was part of the paper’s peer review was consulted while the paper was written.
Harrit’s work never completed the discovery process. His lab results and conclusions were never verified by independent labs. He never opened the paper up to public comments.
The paper claims the red chips cannot be “ordinary paint” which is meaningless. I could not find what type of paint Harrit tested and why? And I found no evidence Harrit tried to explain what paints and primers were used at the WTC. I could not find any efforts by Harrit to ensure his control paint samples were representative of what was used at the WTC.
It is total BS that his samples, composed of who knows what from the dust created by the collapse of over 1,400,000 tons of buildings on 9/11, had every red chip act the exact same way, and each of his red chips was proof of “thermite”.
The only thing his analysis by exothermic reaction shows, is some how all his red chips burned with the same energy. Harrit made no effort to create control samples from chemicals and paints specificly used to build the WTC, and compare those results to the red chips.
Harrit claims thermite from exothermic reactions that are common to many materials. I made the claim that saying something was thermite by an exothermic reaction is like a person believing they have cancer because of back pain. Or because there are wheel tracks on a dirt road, you think it had to be a Yugo?
Harrit has made no effort to publish the results of trying to ignite his WTC samples in an inert atmosphere to test for truly thermite type reactions. The first thing most analysts would probably do for a go / no go test.
Harrit has not published any testing that would prove conclusively there was thermite in his sample. He only has material that released more energy than it consumes to create the reaction. That could be be anything that burns, like paint chips which ignite easier than thermite. Thermite takes something like a magnesium fuse that burns around 3400f to set it off.

Quote where I said anything like the sort.
Quote where I said 720 is not hot.
Quote where I said WTC 2 steel buckled because of heat. The outer columns buckled by inward bowing caused by contracting floor trusses that pulled on the outer vertical columns, drawing them inward.
More false arguments by.
A couple other items of thought for you. Thermite burns at at 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit, so where are the thermal images of thermite burning. However, there are many reasons sources of fuel trapped in a pile would produce flames reading as hotspots around 2800F.
So why is there no recorded logs of hotspots of 2800F you can cite? Was the 2800F just raw data not corrected? Where was the hotspots? What equipment was used? How accurate was the equipment? Was it properly calibrated for Emmistivity of a mixed pile of rubble? Was the air born thermal imager properly calibrated for distance to spot ratio while it was at altitude?
I can quote a US president there is 57 states? But the calibrated and corrected data logged on a map shows there are 50 states.......
While there are valid explanations why there would be open flames at the WTC pile burning a 1300c. But there is no evidence of any heat at the WTC reached 4,000F which is the burning temperature of thermite. And there is no evidence steel columns melted. Or there was missing steel outer columns or core columns missing because they melted away.

James Millette and MVA Scientific Consultants have no indication of elemental aluminum in WTC dust. No elemental aluminum, no thermite. Has Harrit ever produced evidence of elemental aluminum from his samples?
For the red / grey chips to, “They say the red/gray chips found in the WTC dust at four sites in New York City are consistent with a carbon-steel coated with an epoxy resin that contains primarily iron oxide and kaolin clay pigments.” Millette has similar results.

Another primer at the WTC: LaClede Standard Primer
Abstract
There was not only one steel primer used on WTC tower structural steels, but at least one other primer:
LaClede Standard Primer is a zinc-free paint formulation with which the floor joists of the twin towers were painted.
The painted area of these LaClede-painted floor joists in both towers was roughly 600,000 m2 while Tnemec is only known to have been specified for about 400,000 m2 of perimeter column surface. For the rest of the structural steel – core columns, hat truss and others, a total of 300,000 m2 the primer used isn't known.
Claims that Niels Harrit proved that some red-gray chips in the WTC dust are not WTC primer are basing this claim on the FALSE assumption that Tnemec was the only primer used. In fact, I will show that the chips that Harrit proved to not be Tnemec look very much like LaClede Standard Primer.

neutronflux Chemist Mark Basille also confirmed elemental aluminium was present in the red/grey chips. Why would they be lying when they are independent people? You do not realise Dr Millette is a government spokesperson and he was involved in the official government dust study. Are you expecting the people involved in cover-ups to tell you the truth? Dr Millette work is flawed anyhow because he ignored the abundance of Iron Microspheres found in the dust.
Both men clearly talk about this in their presentations.
