  To insure the most efficient heat transfer possible, Delta t max maintains diameter tolerances between -.001" and -.005" from specified nominal diameters. In this way, the user will achieve a good fit into the cavity designed to hold the heater. The thermal expansion of the heater generally can produce the desired heater and cavity surface contact for the most efficient heat transfer and long heater life.

Delta t max will provide heaters to meet specified lengths and tolerances. The standard tolerances on heater length is 1/16". The wattage tolerance is 5%.

Variations of Ohms Law

For longer life and better installation in liquids:

  1. The heater should be central to the main body of liquid being heated and not in a restricted space.
  2. Make sure to submerge the heated area in liquid at all times.
  3. Do not allow the heater to cycle on and off too frequently.

Delta t max cartridge heaters and threaded fittings are offered with a stainless steel or brass outer shell.

The best heater life is obtained by operating at less than maximum temperatures and controlling on/off cycling. Generally, the higher the temperature, the shorter the service life.
