Tubular Heaters:  Straight and Formed

Tubular Heaters: Straight and Formed

U.L. AND C-UL Recognized  -  No.  E177353

Features
  • The Hotwatt Tubular Heater has built-in resistance to shock, vibration, corrosion and temperature extremes.     
  • The heater is swaged, reducing the diameter of the metal sheath and compacting the insulation.  This insures rapid heat transfer and holds the coil in position for forming.
  • Many formations are available.
  • Long, trouble free service.
  • Made in U.S.A.


Construction

              Construction

  1. Steel, stainless steel, copper, or Incoloy sheathed elements.
  2. Element wire situated in proximity to outside surface for maximum heat transfer and minimum internal temperature while preserving good dielectric qualities.
  3. Pure magnesium oxide compressed to an optimum density for best heat transfer and electrical insulation at elevated temperatures.
  4. Weld connection.
  5. Cold pin.
  6. Insulator.
  7. Standard post terminal.

Formula for Determination of Unit Wattage

Unit Wattage  =  Diameter  x  3.142  x  Heated Length  x  Allowable watts/sq.in.

 

Electrical Tolerances and Limits

Mounting Fitting

        Mounting Fitting

Fittings are available with light jam nuts (plated steel), plain washers (plated steel), and/or copper gaskets.

Brass bushings are used with copper and steel sheaths. 
Silver brazed stainless steel bushings are used with stainless steel and incoloy sheaths. 
Welded stainless steel bushings are available at additional cost.

Forming

If you plan to do the bending required, observe the minimum bend limits in the table,
and do not plan any bend within 1" of a cold end junction.
Annealing for bending must be specified.
If Hotwatt is to do the bending, submit a sketch showing clearly the form the bent unit is to take.

Wattage
Wattages as shown in the above tables are based on sheath material or voltage/amperage limitations.
For allowable wattage for your application, refer to Sheath Material/Watt Density chart above.

How to Order
Specify:  Catalog number, wattage, voltage, termination, and other optimal features. If forming
is required, include a dimensional sketch and reference formation number, if applicable.

Example:  TA31-40/1000W/240V/SF3S
