Incoloy 800
55kW/m² (35w/in²) Series

Series B
Incoloy 800 sheather elements for use in air heating, ovens and bain marie units where boil dry situations may occur.

Multi purpose elements give the user the ability to shape or modify an element for use in a wide variety of heating applications, whether in liquid, acid, alkaline or air environments. These elements are ideally suited for prototype runs or urgent repairs.

MPE Construction:

• All BJC MPEs are constructed from the highest grade materials.
• All BJC MPEs are uniformly annealed for ease of forming.
• 1/8” Whitworth terminal pins allow for universal connections.
• M16 compression bushes for ease of mounting are available.

FORMING INFORMATION

All units may be formed on a minimum bend radius of 25mm. They must not be bent in the “no bend area” which is 80mm in from end of sheath.

This point is marked on elements. DIYB8 Brass Compression and DIYS8 Plate Steel Fittings may be fitted to any part of the 80mm cold zone.

 

The heater should be formed “cold” and  should not be reformed once it is bent.

The heater should be clamped firmly in place and must be formed over a smooth surface.

If several heaters are to be formed a forming fixture should be fabricated.

The minimum bending radii should be closely observed.
 

Illustrations show ease with which multi-purpose elements can be shaped, using a mandrel or simple bending jig.
