Our Tubular Heaters will be discontinued due to electrical compliance. Final orders will be accepted until 31st March 2025, subject to demand and material availability. All units must be sold to end users before the 16th June 2025. We are actively developing an alternative solution so keep an eye on the website for future updates.

Metal Sheath Elements

Metal sheath elements are a versatile heating solution for solids, liquids, and gases. With a range of sizes, materials, and terminals in stock, Argus Heating can design an element to suit almost any application.

Features and benefits

  • Custom design and bend formations available to suit your application, to replicate an existing design, or repair a faulty element.
  • Heat wire spiral and cold length designed to match application.
  • Sheath can be protected from atmospheric corrosion and mechanical abuse.
  • Silicone resin or epoxy resin seal options available for moisture proofing the elements.
  • Various termination options available including stud, plain pin, quick connect, lead-wire, bulkhead fitting, locator washer etc.
  • Available with or without a custom mounting bracket.

Construction

  • Sheath can be manufactured in copper, stainless steel, Incoloy®, or titanium.
  • The sheath surrounds a helical coil of nickel- chrome resistance wire, centered and tightly compacted by an electrical insulator and heat transfer medium of magnesium oxide.
  • Argus Heating typically use Incoloy® for 6.7 mm diameter, titanium for 8 mm diameter, and Incoloy® 800 or Incoloy® 840 for 11 mm diameter.

Important Considerations

Also known as tubular heaters, metal sheath elements are available in a range of sizes, materials and terminals. We can design an element to suit any application.

Applications

Typically used for:

  • Heating platens for applications such as printing.
  • Constant heat for radiant and process heating.
  • High temperature heating for ovens and seal bars.
  • Immersion heating for liquids, gases, and chemicals.
  • Preventing ice formation in cooling and freezer units.
