Ultrasonic measurements were performed on MIL‐W‐81381/7, /12, and /21 wire, a polyimide (Kapton®) insulated wire. The phase velocity for the 20‐gauge MIL‐W‐81381/7 wire had a baseline value of 3023 ± 78 m/s. After exposure to high temperatures, the wire’s phase velocity rapidly increased, and reached an asymptotic value of 3598 ± 20 m/s after 100 hours exposure. Similar responses were measured in other gauges. The baseline measurements of Young’s moduli resulted in values of 5636 ± 486, 7714 ± 505, and 8767 ± 292 KSI for the 20 ga, 16 ga, and 12 ga. wires respectively.
