Sheath Materials
| Sheath Material | Information |
| Incoloy 800 | Nickel 30-35%, Chromium 19-23%, Iron balance. The high nickel content of this alloy contributes to its resistance to scaling and corrosion. Used in air heating and immersion heating of potable water and other liquids. |
| 316/316L Stainless Steel | Chromium 16-18%, Nickel 11-14%, Iron balance. (316L – Low Carbon) Modified with the addition of Molybdenum (2-3%) to improve corrosion resistance in certain environments, especially those which would tend to cause pitting due to the presence of chlorides. Applications include deionized water. Maximum Sheath Temperature: 1200°F / 649°C |
| 304/304L Stainless Steel | Chromium 18-20%, Nickel 8-11%, Iron balance. (304L – Low Carbon) Used in the food industry, medical, and chemical heating. Maximum Sheath Temperature: 1200°F (649°C) |
| Copper | Standard Copper Alloy A low temperature, inexpensive material used mainly for clean water heating. Maximum Sheath Temperature: 350°F / 177°C |
| Steel | Low Carbon Used for high to low viscosity oils, asphalt, tar, wax, molten salt, heat transfer liquid media and other compatible solutions. |
