Elements in furnaces

For determining the dimensions and forms of industrial elements, the main factors are furnace temperature, furnace power (which depends on the load and the heating rate), available voltage, and the physical size of the furnace chamber. These are discussed below. Furnace temperature

Elements for electric appliances

Elements for electric appliances can be grouped in various ways. If classified according to how the wire is mechanically supported, they can be divided into three groups: embedded, supported, and suspended elements. Content: Element types Overview: Appliance element types Element

Delivery forms - Kanthal®, Alkrothal® and Nikrothal®

To prevent transport damage, all goods are securely packed in either cardboard boxes or wooden cases, with appropriate internal protection. Resistance heating alloys are available in a variety of delivery forms, including wire spools, pails, coils, and strips, to cater to diverse

Standard tolerances

Standard tolerances for wire are provided below. Size tolerances do not apply to material manufactured to resistance tolerances and vice versa. Tolerances on electrical resistance Resistance of Wire at 20°C (68°F) Diameter ≤ 0.127 mm (0.005 in): ± 8% All dimensions > 0.127 mm (0.005

Tubothal®

TUBOTHAL® – THE MOST POWERFUL METALLIC ELEMENT SYSTEM Tubothal® is an ideal electric element used in combination with powder metallurgy tubes because of its great advantages, such as – very high power – long life – low weight – easy to design to existing power controls and supply. Combined

Operating life and maximum permissible temperature

When heated, resistance heating alloys form an oxide layer on their surface, which prevents further oxidation of the material. To accomplish this function the oxide layer must be dense and resist the diffusion of gasses. It must also be thin and adhere to the metal under temperature
