If you are referring to the recorded temps in the pile, then yes, however, i thought we weRe talking about the flowing metal from the building pre collapse. As well, i am pretty sure they were not monitoring the temps inthe entire pile 24/7 for all the days after 9/11. Do you have proof they were.
I am not an expert in materials sicence, so i will defer any further comment on temperature color and the effects of impurities to them (we have a couple of experts in this on the forum...not sure who).

Yes I'm referring to the pouring metal out the window in pre-collapse. That material is seen to be yellow so even hotter than orange. Actually hotter than the flames seen coming out the window. That would place the temperature between 1800 and 1950. Way higher than expected for the office fire and way higher than stated by NIST itself.
