ST-HEATER

Chrome steel strip heaters with centered terminals, offering 350 to 1000 watts of power. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.8 cm) wide, these rugged and reliable heaters are U.L. Component Recognized and C.S.A. Certified, ideal for hot plates, air ducts, inducers, and more. Premium quality ensures long-lasting performance in various industrial heating applications.

Typical applications would involve clamping them to metal surfaces such as platens, outer surfaces of large vats tanks and heating ducts. Two important factors must be considered when selecting a strip heater:

1. The proper sheath material for resisting any rusting and oxidizing inherent in the process or environment and for withstanding the sheath temperature required.

Standard sheath materials are rust resisting iron, chrome steel and Incoloy (NS Series only). Stainless steel and Monel sheaths are available at an additional charge.

2. The watt density of the element, or watts per square inch of heated area. This should be low for heating asphalt, molasses and other thick substances with low heat transferability; it can be higher for heating air, metals and other heat-conducting materials. (See appropriate curves for determining allowable watt densities.)

CAUTION AND WARNING!
Fire and electrical shock may result if products are used improperly or installed or used by non-qualified personnel. See inside back cover for additional warnings.
