Economical and
Reliable Source for
Industrial
Equipment
The Watlow mica strip heater is an economical and reliable
source of heat for industrial equipment. A mere 15 mils
(0.4 mm) thick mica insulator on both sides of the resistance
element provides complete electrical insulation and offers little
resistance to efficient heat flow. Plus mica withstands high voltage
spikes, resists moisture and is inert to most chemicals. UL
component recognition is available for applications to 900˚F
(480˚C) sheath temperature, file number E52951.
Performance Capabilities
• Sheath temperatures to 900˚F (480˚C) on zinc-coated units
• Sheath temperatures of 1200˚F (650˚C) on stainless steel units
• Watt densities to 55 W/in
