Product catalog summary
Overview
The Watlow® high temperature (HT) FIREROD® heater is engineered for high temperature platen applications, capable of reaching up to 1600°F (871°C). It builds on the design principles of Watlow’s FIREROD products, offering enhanced performance by withstanding temperatures 400°F (204°C) higher than standard cartridge heaters.

Specifications
  • Platen temperatures: Up to 1600°F (871°C)
  • Maximum watt densities: Up to 100 W/in² (15.5 W/cm²)
  • Maximum voltage: Up to 277VAC to ground
  • Length tolerance: +0, -4% for standard diameters; +0, -8% for special diameters

Features and Benefits
  • High Temperature Seal: Minimizes oxidation of winding wires, extending element life. Note: First 2 inches (51 mm) must be outside the platen in free air and below 1000°F (538°C).
  • Alloy 800 Sheath: Enhances heat transfer efficiency.
  • High Emissivity Sheath: Improves heat transfer and longevity.

Typical Applications
  • Thermo plastic processing
  • Super plastic forming of titanium aircraft parts
  • Diffusion bonding for titanium shaping
  • High temperature glass forming

Options and Technical Data
  • Thermocouples
  • Independently controllable heat zones
  • Distributed wattage
  • Flanges
  • Post terminals
  • Bent FIREROD

Graphical Data
The document includes a graph for determining the maximum allowable watt density for heating metals, indicating the fit in hole size relative to watt density and temperature.

High Temperature FIREROD Heaters-1

SPECIFICATION SHEET High Temperature FIREROD® Heaters Swaged Cartridge Heater Ideal for High Temperature Applications The Watlow® high temperature (HT) FIREROD® heater is specially designed for high temperature platen applications up to 1600°F (871°C). The HT FIREROD heater utilizes the same industry leading design principals used on all of Watlow’s FIREROD products. Taking the cartridge heater one step further enables the HT FIREROD to withstand application temperatures up to 400°F (204°C) higher than standard cartridge heaters. The HT FIREROD is designed specifically for use in high temperature applications: • Internal seal construction is virtually airtight to reduce the effects of resistance wire oxidation • The high temperature sheath is treated to improve its emissivity for better heat transfer Performance Capabilities • Platen temperatures up to 1600°F (871°C) • Maximum watt densities up to 100 W/in2 (15.5 W/cm2) • Maximum voltage up to 277VAC to ground • Length tolerance: +0, -4 percent standard diameters; +0, -8 percent for special diameter Typical Applications • Thermo plastic • Super plastic forming of titanium aircraft parts • Diffusion bonding to laminate and shape titanium • High temperature glass forming Watlow® and FIREROD® are registered trademarks of Watlow Electric.
