Pipe Insert Heaters

Standard Lead Times

Information

Pipe Insert Heaters use an ANSI flanged heater or an NPT screw plug heater mounted inside a pipe. These offer you the advantages of direct immersion heaters with the benefit of being able to service the heater without draining the tank. The Incoloy sheathed element(s) inside the pipe are carefully designed for this application, and transfer their heat to the inside pipe wall by convection and radiation. The large surface area of the pipe in contact with your liquid greatly reduces the intensity making the pipe insert heater ideally suited for heating:
– Very viscous materials like Bunker C Fuel Oil
– Temperature sensitive materials like glucose & liquid sugars
– Bulk storage of corrosive Materials

Options & Housing
Terminal Housings
  • NEMA 1 Sheet Metal Housing (Intended for indoor use only)
  • NEMA 4 (Standard) Moisture Resistant Terminal Housing
  • NEMA 4X Epoxy Painted or Stainless Steel Moisture Resistant Terminal Housing
  • NEMA 7 Hazardous Location Terminal Housing

Power Ratings
  • Up to 240 volts, 25-amp double pole, single throw (DPST)
  • Up to 600 volts, 15-amp triple pole, single throw (TPST)
Temperature Ratings
  • 160 to 370°C (320-700°F)
Thermostat Application

Since the thermostat will be located inside the pipe, it will be measuring the internal pipe temperature. The thermostat is intended for high limit purposes and is not suitable for process control.


Sensors
  • “K” calibration thermocouple for high limit sheath protection. Since the thermocouple will be located inside the pipe, it will be measuring the internal pipe temperature. The thermostat is intended for high limit purposes and is not suitable for process control.
