Description

Flexible Shapes and Geometries Flexible heaters from Watlow are just what the name implies: thin, bendable and shaped to fit your equipment. You can use your imagination to apply heat to the most complex shapes and geometries, without sacrificing efficiency or dependability. With Watlow's customization capabilities, you have the maximum amount of freedom when designing your equipment. Excellent heat transfer results from the heater's thin design and its direct bonding to the application 

Flexible heaters also provide fast heat up and cool down rates, uniform heat distribution and high watt densities.

Features

•  Flat geometry permits holes,
  notches and unusual shapes.
  

• Four material types and two
  element styles are available for
  wider flexibility in meeting your
  requirements. See next page for
  performance capabilities.
  
• Lightweight construction and
  low thermal mass permit use in
  applications that have limited
  space or weight requirements.
• Heating elements as close as
  0.003 inches (0.08 mm) from the
  heated part respond to controls
  with faster heat up and cool down.
• Uniformly spaced element
  paths, placed within 6 mm) of the heater perimeter,
  distribute heat more evenly.
