Electric tube heating components are extremely adaptable and cost-effective. Also, they are useful in almost every kind of heating application. These sturdy tube heaters may be applicable directly or shaped into intricate shapes. They are a dependable thermal source for heating a wide range of liquids, gasses, and solids. 

In vacuum or open-air environments, radiant heating is also possible by tubular heater supplier. However, to create heated pieces, the heating elements can be clamped or cast into metal. They have a large range of common designs or may create a unique design of tubular heating elements to meet your specific needs. Therefore, the application and design engineering team is ready to help select the ideal configuration for an electric tubular heater.

Features of the Tubular Heating Element Design 

• 600V or more when used in certain situations.
• Can be field with the right tools or factory pre-formation. 
• For applications involving high pressure and significant corrosion, heavy wall construction is an option. 
• There are diameters ranging from 0.26″ to 0.496″. Thus, to accommodate different uses. 
• Materials with low-wattage copper, steel, or high alloy sheaths to reduce corrosion.
• Capable of reaching temperatures beyond 1500°F.
• An even thermal profile takes place by precisely winding nickel-chromium resistance wire helical. 
• A strong connection for a long heater life is ensured by a circumferential cold pin-to-wire fusion weld.
• High purity, compacted Resistance wire longevity at elevated temperatures is increased with MgO dielectric insulation. 
• Recompacted bends prolong longevity by guaranteeing the integrity of the insulation. 
• Safe and dependable performance is ensured by components approved by UL and CSA. Accurate, complex shaping.
• Heat-sensitive moisture sealing.
• Electrical, X-ray, and helium leak testing.

Elements of Straight Heating 

Standard tubular heating elements are produced for any use. For many different commercial and industrial uses, tubular heating components offer an adaptable and affordable heat source. 0.260″, 0.315″, 0.375″, 0.430″, 0.475″, and 0.496″ are the standard diameters. There are further unique sizes available. 

Lengths up to 335 inches can be available, depending on the diameter. Copper, steel, alloys, and stainless steel tubular heaters are examples of common sheath materials. Depending on the needed element’s size and diameter, special sheath materials could be available. 

Created Heating Components 

To fit your needs, custom heating elements may be made to any length, shaped into almost any shape, and covered in a range of materials. Similarly, your creativity and the availability of components are the only limitations on the connection/termination options. 

Threaded studs, threaded bulkheads, screw lugs, rapid disconnect spades, ceramic-to-metal hermetic, molded rubber leads, traditional lead wire terminal assemblies, and more are examples of standard terminations. 

Things to Think About When Choosing Tubular Heaters 

There are several things to take into account when deciding which tubular heating element is best for your application. Among the factors are: 

• Type of electrical termination by RTD sensor supplier.
• Control of temperature 
• Wattage and voltage rating 
• Mounting and installation needs (brackets, fittings, etc.) criteria for bending and forming
• Temperature of operation 
• Corrosive surroundings and their impact on the heater
