Sleeve (Sheath) Material
|
|
Most heaters have a protective sheath or sleeve that covers the heating elements. There are usually many choices for sheath or sleeve material.
|
| |
Your choices are...
|
|
|
| |
None
|
|
The heater has a bare, exposed heating element without a sleeve or sheath.
|
| |
Aluminum
|
|
The sleeve or sheath is made of aluminum, a bluish, silver-white, malleable, ductile, light, trivalent, metallic element that provides good electrical and thermal conductivity, high reflectivity, and resistance to oxidation.
|
| |
Brass
|
|
The sleeve or sheath is made of brass, an alloy that provides good strength, excellent high temperature ductility, reasonable cold ductility, good electrical conductivity, excellent corrosion resistance, and low magnetic permeability.
|
| |
Copper
|
|
The sleeve or sheath is made of copper, a common, reddish, metallic element that is ductile and malleable. Copper is one of the best conductors of heat and electricity.
|
| |
Fluoropolymer (Teflon®)
|
|
The sleeve or sheath is made of a fluropolymer such as Teflon® (DuPont Dow Elastomers). Teflon refers to a class of fluoropolymer resins used for a wide variety of commercial applications. They are highly-resistant to temperature, chemical reaction, corrosion, and stress-cracking.
|
| |
HT Foil (Ceramic Foil)
|
|
The sleeve or sheath is made of high temperature (HT) foil. HT foil is sometimes called ceramic foil.
|
| |
Iron
|
|
The sleeve or sheath is made of iron.
|
| |
Nickel Alloy (Inconel®, Incoloy®, Monel®)
|
|
The sleeve or sheath is made of nickel alloy. The amount of nickel varies by alloy type. Proprietary alloys include Inconel®, Monel® (Special Metals Corporation) and Incoloy® (Inco Alloys International).
|
| |
Polyimide (Kapton®)
|
|
The sleeve or sheath is made of a polyimide such as Kapton® (DuPont).
|
| |
Rubber
|
|
The sleeve or sheath is made of natural or synthetic rubber, silicone, or styrene butadiene (SBR).
|
| |
Stainless Steel
|
|
The sleeve or sheath is made of stainless steel, a chemical and corrosion resistant alloy that can have relatively high-pressure ratings.
|
| |
Steel
|
|
The sleeve or sheath is made of steel, a commercial iron that contains carbon in any amount up to about 1.7% as an essential alloying constituent. Steel is malleable under suitable conditions and distinguished from cast iron by its malleability and lower carbon content.
|
| |
Synthetic Rubber (Neoprene)
|
|
The sleeve or sheath is made of a synthetic rubber such as neoprene.
|
| |
Other
|
|
Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary sleeve or sheath materials.

|
| |
Cryogenic Use
|
|
The heater may be used in a cryogenic environment.
|
| |
Custom Design
|
|
The heater can be custom-designed and configured. Custom designs are configured in coordination with the manufacturer.
|
| |
Dynamic Power Regulation
|
|
Dynamic power regulation regulates the power output from the heater so that parts are heated at the proper rate.
|
| |
Explosion-Proof
|
|
The heater's housing is designed to withstand explosions and protect the materials within. Some suppliers include heaters with housings that can withstand sparking and flames.
|
| |
Encased Coil
|
|
The coil is encased in a casting for protection and to maximize heat transfer.
|
| |
Finned
|
|
The heater has fins for better heat dissipation.
|
| |
Grounding Wire
|
|
The heater is equipped with a grounding wire.
|
| |
Hazardous Location
|
|
Hazardous location heaters are designed for use in places where there is a risk of fire or explosion. Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and other organizations rate these devices.
|
| |
Indirect Fired
|
|
Indirect fired heaters use a secondary heat exchanger to separate the breathable air stream from the combustion air stream.
|
| |
Internal Temperature Detector
|
|
The heater is equipped with an internal temperature detector.
|
| |
Microprocessor Controlled
|
|
The heater is equipped with a microprocessor that controls the voltage applied to the heated object. The microprocessor regulates the temperature of the heated object, as well as the speed at which the object heats.
|
| |
Multiple / Independent Timing Controls
|
|
Heaters have separate, independent controls for multiple functions such as heating, cooling, temperature hold, or other heater parameters.
|
| |
Overheat Protection
|
|
Heaters include an automatic shut-off or other mechanism to prevent overheating of the material.
|
| |
Portable
|
|
Portable heaters are lightweight or have wheels.
|
| |
Thermostat
|
|
Heaters have an integrated, adjustable or preset thermostat.
|
| |
UL Approved
|
|
Heaters are approved by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Typically, documentation of UL certification is available from the manufacturer.
|
| |
