Silicone Rubber Oil Drum Heating Pad

Silicone rubber heaters are available as wire wounds or etched foil. Wire wound elements consist of the resistance wire wound on a fiberglass cord for support and stability. Etched foil heaters are made with a thin metal foil as the resistance element.

Silicone rubber heaters can improve heat transfer and speed warm-ups where controlled heating is required in confined areas. Please consider the following factors in order to select the proper silicone rubber heater: • Size and pressures • Heating element watt density • Sheath material (corrosive or noncorrosive) Temperature of the corrodent Degree of aeration of exposed corrodent Velocity of the corrodent
