Tubular Heaters - HX and IX CCI Thermal Technologies Inc. has one factory dedicated to the production of the highest quality tubular heating elements. We use only the best commercially available materials and we use design parameters proven to maximize element life expectancy. Operating Principles LIFE (HOURS) Refer to Figure 1 page A8 for typical heating element construction. The coil and terminal pins are electrically isolated from the outer metal sheath with highly compacted magnesium oxide which also serves as a conductor for the heat generated by the coil. When voltage is applied to...

Insulation Resistance If an unsealed element is to be installed in a damp area, the element insulation resistance to ground may decrease and, in severe cases, approach zero ohms. Elements with low insulation resistance have high leakage currents which, under certain circumstances, could be hazardous. Factory installed seals which prevent moisture from entering at the terminal ends of the element are available. Dielectric Strength Tests One hundred percent (100%) of the elements we manufacture are dielectric strength tested before they are released for shipment. This test, conducted at many...

Typical Shapes Factory Bending Tubular heaters can be factory formed to vir­u­ l­y any t al shape. Inside bending diameters as small as one element diameter are some­imes possible. Figures 1 to 11 illustrate t some of the most commonly used element shapes. If your application can be satisfied with one of these shapes, you may wish to refer to these figures when ordering or requesting pricing in­for­ma­tion. Tubular Heaters

TABLE 2 - Sheath Diam. vs. Max. Allowable Voltage Most tubular elements are made-to-order. The following procedure (Step 1 to Step 9) will simplify the selection of the element best suited to your needs. If you need assistance we will, without obligation, determine your kW requirements and provide design sketches. Step 1 - Determination of wattage requirements. Refer to Section D of the Caloritech™ catalog for technical data and sample calculations. Step 2 - Selection of voltage rating and phase. Remember that, for any fixed voltage, the higher the wattage rating, the higher will be the...

Step 6 - Determination of total required heated length. Using the maximum allowable watt density from Step 5 and the selected diameter from Step 4 refer to Figure 1 below to determine the wattage per unit of length. VOLTS2 WATTS x HEATED LENGTH WATT DENSITY (1) .260” (0.66 mm) & .315” (0.80 mm) Diam. elements are available in lengths up to 285” (7240 mm) in low volume runs (check factory). (2) Lengths beyond maximums shown above can be increased by splicing. Check factory for limitations. WATTS PER UNIT OF LENGTH Figure 1 Surface Watts vs Linear Watts Next divide this number into the...
