Cartridge heaters are tube-shaped industrial heating elements that are known for their localized, precise, and high heating capabilities. These heaters feature a resistance coil with a ceramic core that is surrounded by a dielectric and inserted in a metal sheath. They are then usually inserted into a drilled hole. When an electric current flows through the resistance coil, heat is...

Heating is a common industrial process performed to maintain a process temperature as required. This heating may be uniformly distributed or focused on a certain area as per the application requirements. To achieve accurate and fast heating, the heater should be as close to the area being heated as possible. Kapton® heaters are often used to accomplish a thin profile,...

For batteries to function optimally, they need to be in a temperature-controlled environment or be connected to a heating system, especially when the battery is in a cold environment. This is where battery heating elements are used. Battery heaters are devices that offer uniform or focused heating to a battery as necessary. They are flexible yet robust, compact, and, most...

Sensors are an integral part of several electronic and electromechanical devices, equipment and machinery across industries. Temperature and pressure monitoring is required in several manufacturing processes. Certain temperature and pressure ranges need to be maintained for the materials being used as well as the machine’s health. Sensors such as RTDs, thermocouples, thermistors, and so on are widely used across industries....

Mica heaters are a popular type of thin heater used for domestic and industrial heating. They have especially found great applications in commercial industrial heating operations. However, if high-quality mica isn’t used, then the heater may be prone to electrical leakage and temperature drops or rises. That is why it is essential to purchase custom mica heaters from trusted manufacturers....

Temperature indicates the heat content in a material or a body. While most of us do not notice subtle temperature changes, quite a few industrial processes cannot withstand them. The temperature needs to be measured and maintained for desired results. This is done using temperature sensors. There are numerous applications of temperature sensors in industries. Temperature measurement sensors are devices...

Silicone rubber heaters are widely used in applications where improved heat transfer rates are needed. These heaters are lightweight, extremely flexible, and thin, which makes them popular across industries. Most experienced silicone rubber heater manufacturers can offer them in custom specifications to meet your application requirements. However, this information is not enough to make a purchase decision. The previous post...

Silicone rubber heaters are a type of flexible heater that derive their name from silicone rubber – a variant of synthetic rubber. These heaters are commonly employed in applications where industrial heaters are used to heat small spaces. Many of these spaces are inaccessible for fitting traditional, mainstream heaters. Silicone rubber heaters feature thin profiles, and they can be easily...

Kapton® heaters are a popular type of flexible heaters used in industries such as medical, electronics, aerospace, etc. Kapton® heating solutions are considered the best alternative to mica heaters and silicon heaters in various surface heating applications. Why? In order to understand Kapton® flexible heaters and their applications, it is important to know about the Kapton® material. This post introduces...

There are a variety of sensors such as RTDs and thermocouples that are used for thermal control and temperature measurement across industries. Maintaining a certain temperature range is crucial for many processes due to the sensitivity of the materials used or the mere normal functioning of the process. These sensors may be used as independent probes or can be integrated...
