Alumina flexible ceramic pad heater heating elements
FCP flexible ceramic pad heater
Our flexible ceramic pad heater, also called ceramic mat heater, is manufactured with 80/20 nichrome heating wire(NiCr80/20) and high alumina ceramic beads. It has standard cold tail length which is welded to the heating wire to keep the brass camlock connector from being heated .
The ceramic bead is made of 95% alumina(95% Al2O3). It enjoys high temperature resistance, excellent insulating property, and efficient thermal conductivity, which provides FCP heaters with exceptional electrical insulation,and thermal shock resistance and thermal conductivity qualities.
Designed for pre and post weld heat treatments (PWHT), our flexible ceramic pad heaters (FCP heater) functions efficiently whether they are used in a curved or flat application, and are available in an extensive list of sizes with voltages ranging from 30 volts to 255 volts.
