Copper Sheath: Water heating, water solutions non-corrosive to copper.
Steel Sheath: Immersion in oils, molten salt baths, alkaline cleaning solutions, tars and asphalt. Also suitable for clamping to metal surfaces and casting into aluminum.
Stainless Steel Sheath: Corrosive liquids, food processing equipment.
Incoloy Sheath: Air heating, radiant heating, cleaning and degreasing solutions, plating and pickling solutions, corrosive liquids.
Other sheath materials are also available for application considerations. Commonly specified are 316 stainless steel and Carpenter 20 stainless steel for corrosive immersion heating, copper clad steel for metal casting, Inconel for high temperature applications, and titanium for severely corrosive solution heating. Porcelain and ceramic coatings can also be provided for corrosive atmospheres in process air applications, immersion heating, or for other application considerations. |
