Sheath heaters are a type of electric heating element in which a resistance wire (usually made of nickel-chromium or similar alloys) is enclosed within a metal sheath, filled with a magnesium oxide (MgO) insulation for efficient heat transfer and electrical insulation. The sheath material is typically made of stainless steel, Incoloy, or copper depending on the application environment, such as corrosive conditions or food-grade requirements. Sheath heaters come in various forms, including straight rods, bent configurations, and flat designs, and they are widely used for heating air, liquids, solids, or surfaces. They offer robust mechanical strength, precise temperature control, and fast heat-up times.
Sheath heaters typically feature diameters ranging from 6.5 mm to 12.5 mm and lengths from 50 mm up to over 2000 mm, with power ratings between 100W and 5kW and voltage options spanning 12V to 480V. They operate across low, medium, and high watt densities—from below 10 W/in² for viscous fluids to above 30 W/in² for metal block heating. Common sheath materials include stainless steel (up to ~750°C), Incoloy 800/840 (up to ~870°C), copper (for water heating, up to ~200°C), and titanium (for corrosive liquids), while the internal insulation is typically magnesium oxide (MgO) for high thermal conductivity. Resistance wires are usually made of nickel-chromium (NiCr) or iron-chromium-aluminum (FeCrAl). Mounting options include flanged, threaded, clamp-on, or over-the-side, with rapid heat-up times and thermal uniformity within ±2–5°C when paired with appropriate controllers.
