Questions
What size hole should I drill for a cartridge heater?
Drill a hole slightly smaller than the heater diameter. Ream the hole for proper heat transfer and use thermal grease to ensure optimal contact.
Can cartridge heaters be used to heat liquids directly?
No, direct liquid contact risks overheating. Cartridge heaters are designed for solid materials where efficient heat transfer occurs through metal surfaces.
What causes cartridge heater failure?
Common causes include liquid contamination, incorrect sizing, inadequate heat-sink, and improper installation. Using thermal grease and correct hole dimensions prevents premature failure.
Do you offer custom-designed cartridge heaters?
Yes, we manufacture heaters to your specifications with lengths up to 3 meters and diameters from 3-40mm, including specialized terminations.
Can I use a different length heater in an existing hole?
Avoid mismatched lengths. Heaters should fit within ±5mm tolerance to prevent overheating at protruding ends or lead damage from sinking into the hole.
