Explain how the heat range of a spark plug is determined.

What will be an ideal response?


The heat range of a spark plug is determined by the length of the insulator before it contacts the shell. In a cold plug there is a short distance for the heat to travel up to the insulator to the shell. The short heat path means the electrode and insulator will maintain little heat between firings.
