Heating tapes, cables & plates

Heating tape is flat and wraps around lines, valves and glassware. Heating cable is thin and flexible, suited to long or winding lines. A heating plate warms flat surfaces or the base of a vessel. For round-bottom flasks, a heating mantle is usually the better option. Check the maximum temperature against your process before you order. Whatever you choose, plan the control as well; see temperature control accessories. Unsure which one fits? Ask sales@luminixhealth.com.

Silicone is flexible and moisture resistant, for moderate temperatures. PTFE insulation resists chemicals well. Glass fibre handles higher temperatures but belongs in a dry environment. Mineral-insulated cable with a metal sheath reaches the highest temperatures of the range. The maximum temperature differs per product, so check it on the product page against your process.

Match the length to the line or surface you want to cover. Do not overlap tape or cable, as overlapping spots can overheat. The power per metre determines how fast and how hot the element gets. For use in the EU, choose the 230 V / 50 Hz version with the plug type used in your country (for example type E in Belgium and France, type F in the Netherlands); check the plug type on the product page.

Without control, the tape heats up until it reaches its own equilibrium temperature, which may be far above what your process needs. For a set temperature, use a power controller or a temperature controller with a sensor placed on the heated surface. That protects both your sample and the tape. Fix the sensor firmly, so it reads the surface temperature reliably. See temperature control accessories and temperature probes and sensors. Questions about a specific product?

A heating tape or cable wraps a tube, a valve or a vessel that has no mantle. Power per length and the maximum temperature are the specification. A tape overlapped on itself overheats. It needs a controller. Plugged straight in, it does not hold a set point.

Temperature equipment either holds a set point or drives a sample toward one. An oven dries. A furnace reaches the temperatures of ashing and melting. A bath surrounds a vessel with water or oil. A circulator moves that fluid. An incubator holds the mild warmth of a culture. An autoclave uses steam under pressure to sterilise. The number that matters is the temperature the article actually reaches, not the number painted on the dial. Temperature is part of the international system kept by the BIPM and compared by EURAMET.
