Mica Band Heaters

Standard Glenn Mica type cylindrical heaters are constructed in either one or two piece configurations using a low expansion alloy claming strap(s) to provide optimum contact throughout the operating range.

These bands are easily installed by slipping the heater over the cylinder and tightening the single clamping screw. Where obstructions prevent slipping the heater over the cylinder, two piece heaters may be used, each half is normally rated at half wattage and half voltage for series connections. 3" or wider heaters are normally supplied with each half rated at half wattage and line voltage for parallel connections. Each half is appropriately marked, and ratings should be checked before installation.

Because of the extremely wide range of specifications, lead types, and options available, most heaters of this type are custom manufactured, however, some items are available from stock. Mica type heaters of rectangular, hexagonal, and other unusual shapes can also pe provided to your specifications. Please consult the factory or a local representative for specific information on the heater which you require.

Unless otherwise specified, standard watt densities are in the 30 watts per square inch range. Other power ratings are available based on individual requirements.
