	Band Heater		Band heaters are ring-shaped heaters that clamp onto a cylindrical object and heat via conductive heat transfer.
	Coil Heater		Coil heaters are heating elements formed from straight (uncoiled) segments of round or square heating cable.
	Cartridge Heater		Cartridge heaters are cylindrical heaters that are inserted into a heated substance.
	Cast-In Heater		Cast-in heaters are made-to-order tubular or wire heaters that are cast into a part. These parts are designed to be an integral component of a larger piece of equipment.
	Ceramic Fiber Heater		Ceramic fiber heaters are only used for radiant heat transfer. They are not designed for conduction heating applications.
	Circulation Heater		Circulation heaters are used to heat moving or circulating fluids.
	Drum Heater		Drum heaters are used to heat cylindrical containers of viscous materials. They either clamp onto the outside diameter of the drum, or are inserted directly into the material to be heated within the drum.
	Duct Heater		Duct heaters are used to heat streams of moving gas.
	Enclosure Heater		Enclosure heaters are designed for use within enclosures. They prevent freezing and provide protection and humidity control.
	Explosion Proof Heater		The heater's housing is designed to withstand explosions and protect the materials within. Some suppliers include heaters with housings that can withstand sparking and flames.
	Flexible Heater		Flexible heaters can be molded to the shape of a heated object.
	Forced Air Heater		Forced air heaters use forced convection to move air past a heat source with a fan or blower.
	Heat Torches		Heat torches are forced-process air heaters. They are used in applications that require modest amounts of focused air.
	Heat Tracing		Heat tracing provides spot heating in order to maintain process temperatures, provide freeze protection, or for de-icing applications. The heaters consist of flexible, insulated cables or tapes heated by electrical elements or circulated thermal fluids.
	Heating Cable		Heating cables are composed of an insulated heating element in the form of a cable.
	Immersion Heater		Immersion heaters are used in applications where it is necessary to immerse a heater in the substance being heated. Flange and screw-plug varieties are easy to use and quick to install.
	Induction Heater		Induction heaters use an electrical source to drive alternating current (AC) through a coil to heat metal objects.
	Inline Heater		Inline heaters instantly heat fluids that are passed through the device. Upon exiting the heater, the fluids are consumed for their intended use and are not re-circulated.

Sleeve (Sheath) Material


	Sleeve (Sheath) Material		Most heaters have a protective sheath or sleeve that covers the heating elements. There are usually many choices for sheath or sleeve material.
	Your choices are...
	None		The heater has a bare, exposed heating element without a sleeve or sheath.
	Aluminum		The sleeve or sheath is made of aluminum, a bluish, silver-white, malleable, ductile, light, trivalent, metallic element that provides good electrical and thermal conductivity, high reflectivity, and resistance to oxidation.
	Brass		The sleeve or sheath is made of brass, an alloy that provides good strength, excellent high temperature ductility, reasonable cold ductility, good electrical conductivity, excellent corrosion resistance, and low magnetic permeability.
	Copper		The sleeve or sheath is made of copper, a common, reddish, metallic element that is ductile and malleable. Copper is one of the best conductors of heat and electricity.
	Fluoropolymer		The sleeve or sheath is made of a fluoropolymer such as Teflon^® (DuPont Dow Elastomers). Teflon refers to a class of fluoropolymer resins used for a wide variety of commercial applications. They are highly resistant to temperature, chemical reaction, corrosion, and stress-cracking.
	HT Foil (Ceramic Foil)		The sleeve or sheath is made of high temperature (HT) foil. HT foil is sometimes called ceramic foil.
	Iron		The sleeve or sheath is made of iron.
	Nickel Alloy		The sleeve or sheath is made of nickel alloy. The amount of nickel varies by alloy type. Proprietary alloys include Inconel^®, Monel^® (Special Metals Corporation) and Incoloy^®(Inco Alloys International).
	Polyimide		The sleeve or sheath is made of a polyimide such as Kapton^® (DuPont).
