What is the difference between a distributed wattage heater and a zoned heater? Almost any heater that uses a wound coil can use one of these construction methods of controlling watt density.

There are normal variations in the dimensions and electrical properties of heaters we build, and it’s good to know what they are so there are no surprises.

Explore four different temperature scales, Fahrenheit, Celsius, Kelvin, and Rankine, tracing their historical origins and delving into their modern day uses.

TUTCO received an interesting request from a customer seeking a heating solution for their home brew moonshine steel kettle to optimize the distilling process.

An entrepreneur opening a portable food service business required a band heater solution that could wrap around his custom kettle and keep the soup at the proper temperature.

TUTCO received a unique request from a customer seeking tubular heating elements for electric branding irons designed for wood and leather applications.

When subjected to heat, the outer layer of our heaters’ material oxidizes as the iron combines with oxygen from the surrounding air. This oxidation process, commonly known as rust, can be advantageous.
