Silicon carbide heating element SP-SIC-U

industrialcustom

Overview
Silicon carbide (SiC) heating element in U configuration, consisting of two parallel legs joined at one end. Suitable for electric furnaces and high-temperature industrial equipment.

Available on request
Manufactured to order according to outer diameter, hot zone, length, leg separation and electrical resistance.

Configuration and use
This U configuration allows adaptation to furnaces and installations where a two-leg construction with connection ends on the same side is required.

Data required to configure a SiC U-type element

• OD: outer diameter
• HZ: hot zone
• CZ: cold zone
• OL: overall length
• A: leg separation
• D: bridge dimension
• Ω: electrical resistance

Industrial applications

• Electric furnaces
• Pottery and ceramics
• Sintering
• Metallurgy
• Glass
• Heat treatment
• Industrial heating equipment

Replacement of a SiC U-type element
For replacement studies please provide photographs, outer diameter, overall length, leg separation and electrical resistance (and reference if available).

Frequently asked questions

• What is the difference between an ED and a U-type element? The ED is a straight configuration, while the U-type has two legs joined to form a U.
• Can it be supplied with different leg separations? Yes. Leg separation is one of the parameters used to define the element configuration.
• What information is needed for a replacement? Photo, diameter, overall length, hot zone, leg separation, resistance and reference if available.
