Tubular heating elements are the most versatile industrial heating solution for a large number of applications. Lantronix's tubular elements are factory configured to virtually any shape or size. We can customize bend diameters upon request and can manufacture a variety of industrial heating solutions such as flanged tubular heaters. Tubular heaters are typically made from steel, stainless steel, Incoloy, Inconel, or titanium alloys. Tubular elements are often considered the foundation of all heating elements. These heating elements have a rugged outer jacket that helps protect the process heater from physical stresses and use high quality alloys for efficient heat transfer from the resistance coil to the heating medium.
Depending on their rating, jacket and shape, tubular heaters can be used in a variety of industrial heating applications (conduction, convection, radiant heating) that require process temperatures up to 750°C (1,382°F) to heat liquids, gases and solids. Choose from a variety of diameters to adjust the power density in your application and design your industrial heating products for optimum performance and long life. Standard and customized terminal pins are easy to install and maintain. We use high quality magnesium oxide for efficient heat transfer from the resistance coil to the heating medium, whether air, liquid or solid. The bend radius is carefully designed to maximize performance while meeting the "form fit and function" of your application.

Advantages |
|
Threaded joints Connected to the cold end of the element by brazing, crimping or soldering. used as a tight fitting for heaters fixed in open tanks or vessels. Materials are brass, steel or stainless steel. |
Easy to install can be configured to almost any shape is compact in size Precise and easy control of heat output§Durable Easy to maintain easy to replace, thus eliminating long downtimes |
|
Compression Fittings available in nickel-plated brass for field mounting on 0.375", 0.430", and 0.475" diameter elements. |
Factors to Consider Please consider the following factors to select the ideal tubular element/tubular heating element for your application: Heating element power density Sheath material (corrosive or non-corrosive) Product temperature Degree of aeration of the application Air velocity within the application Ambient temperature |
|
Moisture resistant junction box available: actory installed can be pre-drilled in the junction box upon special request. This allows for easier field tubular installation. Components may require fittings to connect to the junction box. |
