Our flexible, ceramic pad heaters are constructed from high quality, European manufactured, sintered aluminium ceramic beads, high grade 19 strand, 80/20 Nickel/Chrome (Ni/Cr) core wire, and 7 strand 212 Nickel cold tail with fitted 60A twistlock plugs. This 48 bead wide heating element is sometimes called a snake heater.

Applications:

Typically used for post weld heat treatment of thinner wall pipe welds and preheating up 1,050C. They are also ideal for providing support heating on the edge of flanges for pipe to flange welds to compensate for the heat sink effect caused be the flange.
