Thermal Expansion is the propensity of solid matter to increase its volume when heated. This change in volume occurs in all directions of an object in length, width, and height.

There are many unusual, mostly unknown, and sometimes silly units of measure that exist. Some are used in specific fields of interest, and some are obsolete or too foolish to be taken seriously.

Like their band heater counterparts, HT Mica Strip Heaters can handle temperatures up to 900°F (482°C) and are designed for demanding applications across multiple industries.

To meet the diverse needs of our customers in the academic and research fields, TUTCO offers a wide range of thermal solutions through our standard product offerings.

While there are many factors that determine a heaters upper temperature limit, understanding temperature limitations in a heater is essential for maximizing heater performance and ensuring safety.

The 3-phase systems are called 3-phase delta and 3-phase wye and this document will explain how to connect your single phase heaters to such a system, and how to check that it’s done correctly.

Sometimes heaters can be operated at a voltage that’s different from what they’re designed for. Sometimes they cannot. Learn the consequences of applying a voltage to a heater that’s different from what’s marked on it.
