Flexible Ceramic Heating Pad, Post Welding, 240*120mm, FCP Heater, Heat Treatment

Model Number: FCP-SJ-10 Brand Name: Heatfounder Key Specifications/Special Features: Flexible ceramic pad (FCP) heaters are manufactured by weaving multiple stranded 80/20 Nichrome electric resistance heating wire through passages within interlocking ceramic beadsBeads are molded from sintered 95% alumina ceramics, more than 3/8-inch thickAlumina has excellent high-temperature dielectric properties which combined with the interlocking bead design provide FCP heaters with exceptional electrical insulating qualitiesInterlocking bead design imposes rigidity along heater length while allowing flexibility along the heater width, enabling it to conform to the curved surfaces of pipes and pressure vesselsNominal nine-inch length of nickel wire is welded to each end of the Nichrome wire to create cold tail to prevent electrically insulated camlock connectors from being heatedFCP heaters are generally available to two standard values: 80V AC, which are most common and 60V ACCustom designed heaters, however, can also be providedAll 80V AC heaters are rectangular with surface area of 120 square inches and thermal power of 3.6kW, producing power density of 30W/inch2 with an electrical current of 45A60V AC counterparts are simply three-quarters size of an 80V AC pad with surface area of 90 square inches and 2.7kW thermal power but with same power density and electric currentAll 80V AC heaters can be run on 60V AC, but their kW output is reduced from 3.6 to 2kW
