Ceramic Strip Heaters

Our ceramic strip heaters are made from highly compact refractory material, which conducts heat from the resistance wire quickly to the sheath. This results in low internal temperatures and long heater life. Precise placement of the Ni-chrome wire provides uniform sheath temperature across the entire length of the heater.

Ceramic Strip heater provides the ability to withstand higher temperatures (typically limited to 40 to 45 watts per square inch, depending on the application). The heater consists of a stainless steel sheath containing a high-temperature ceramic insulating a nickel chrome wire coil. Magnesium oxide (MgO) is used to fill any air pockets, thus providing the best heat transfer possible.

The terminals are also constructed of stainless steel and are securely anchored to prevent twisting out under normal conditions. Several terminations are available, including water-resistance.
