(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)

📦

321 Stainless Steel

Chromium 17-20%, Nickel 9-13%, Iron balance. Modified with the addition of Titanium to prevent carbide precipitation and resulting intergranular corrosion that can take place in certain mediums when operating in the 800-1200°F (427-649°C) temperature range.

📦

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.

📦

Incoloy 825

Nickel 38-46%, Chromium 19.5-23.5%, Molybdenum 2.5-3.5%, Iron balance Available for a limited number of diameters. Consult Tempco for more information.

Flange Materials

📦

Incoloy 800 Flange

A Nickel (30-35%), Chromium (19-23%), Iron alloy. The high nickel content of this alloy contributes to its resistance to scaling and corrosion. Used in air heating (also see Incoloy® 840) and immersion heating of potable water and other liquids that are not corrosive to an Incoloy® 800 sheath.

304 SS Flange

A Chromium (18-20%), Nickel (8-11%), Iron Alloy used in the food industry, sterilizing solutions, air heating and many organic and inorganic chemicals.

304L SS Flange

A Chromium (18-20%), Nickel (8-11%), Low Carbon Iron Alloy used in the food industry, sterilizing solutions, air heating and many organic and inorganic chemicals.

316L SS Flange

A Chromium (16-18%), Nickel (11-14%), Low Carbon Iron Alloy with Molybdenum (2-3%) added to improve corrosion resistance in certain environments, especially those that would tend to cause pitting due to the presence of chlorides. Applications include deionized water.

Steel Flange

Low Carbon Steel: Applications include fluid heat transfer media, tar, high to low viscosity petroleum oils, asphalt, wax, molten salt, and other solutions not corrosive to a steel sheath.

Thermostat Options

Stuffing Box Assembly

The Stuffing Box Assembly is used to seal the thermostat capillary when the sensing bulb (3/8″ max. OD) is immersed directly in a liquid rather than in a thermowell. The Stuffing Box consists of six slotted washers used to compress a graphite packing into a 3/8″ NPT male pipe thread fitting. Assembly Instructions Feed sensing bulb through hole in upper and lower fitting. Insert washers and packing into top cavity of lower fitting. Upper fitting then screws into lower fitting, creating the seal. Part Number: TST-109-101

Thermowells

Stainless Steel or Plain Steel: Thermowells provide protection for bulb and capillary sensors. They are supplied with a 1/2″ NPT male thread for mounting and a 3/8″ NPT internal thread that can be used with the stuffing box assembly to secure the capillary to the well. ID: 0.50″, OD: 0.56

Heater Options

Flow Control Baffles

For flange heaters used in circulation tanks, to aid heat transfer by forcing the liquid or gas back and forth across the elements. Baffles can be custom designed and positioned for your application.

Terminal Housing Standoff

The electrical housing is separated from the flange by an air gap (six-inch standard) to lower the ambient temperature of the electrical wiring. This option is used on flanged immersion heaters where the flange temperature exceeds 482°F (250°C).
