TUBULAR HEATERS

Ogden Tubular Heaters
The most versatile of all electric heating elements, the tubular heater is capable of being formed into virtually any configuration. The basic design consists of a helical coil of nickel-chromium resistance wire precisely centered in a metal sheath. This coil is surrounded by magnesium oxide powder which is vibration loaded to insure even density throughout the length of the heater. This entire assembly is then reduced to the finished diameter, compacting the MgO and "freezing" the coil in the center of the heater. The range of ratings, sizes, materials and terminations available makes the tubular heater adaptable to many industrial, commercial and scientific applications.
 
Sheath Materials:
 
Copper Sheath:
Water heating, water solutions non-corrosive to copper.
Steel Sheath: 
Immersion in oils, molten salt baths, alkaline cleaning solutions, tars and asphalt. Also suitable for clamping to metal surfaces and casting into aluminum.
Stainless Steel Sheath:
Corrosive liquids, food processing equipment.
Incoloy Sheath:
Air heating, radiant heating, cleaning and degreasing solutions, plating and pickling solutions, corrosive liquids.

Other sheath materials are also available for application considerations. Commonly specified are 316 stainless steel and Carpenter 20 stainless steel for corrosive immersion heating, copper clad steel for metal casting, Inconel for high temperature applications, and titanium for severely corrosive solution heating.

A threaded bushing is brazed, welded or ring staked to the sheath to provide quick, rigid, liquid or air tight mounting through tank walls, oven walls, etc. Consult Ogden for bushing specifications not shown.
  • Available in Brass, Stainless Steel or Steel
  • All bushings furnished with nickel plated washer, compressed non-asbestos gasket and jam nut
  • Hex head bushings standard
  • Specify location from end of sheath
  • Locator washers or retaining rings can also be attached to the element
  • Specify O.D., thickness and distance from end of sheath
