WATLOW®
Strip/Clamp-On Heaters
Mineral Insulated (MI) Strip Heaters
The MI strip heater is a thin, responsive heater that uses
the most advanced heater construction techniques.
A nickel-chromium element wire is embedded in Watlow’s
exclusive mineral insulation material, which has a much
higher thermal conductivity than the mica and hard
ceramic insulators used in conventional heaters. This thin
layer of insulation brings the element wire closer to the
heater sheath. The result is heat flows easily from the
element wire to the sheath allowing the wire to run cooler
than conventional heaters and increasing heater life.
Performance Capabilities
• Sheath temperatures up to 1400°F (760°C)
• Watt densities up to 140 W/in2 (21.7 W/cm2)
• Maximum voltage up to 480VAC
•UL® component recognition for most 240VAC or less
designs (UL® File #E52951)

Applications and Technical Data
Calculating Watt Density
Watt density is the amount of wattage per square inch of
heated area. To determine watt density, divide the total
wattage by the heated area.
Wattage
Watt Density =
Heated Area
To apply this equation, the heated area is the total
contact surface of the heater less areas of no-heat
found around terminals, mounting holes, etc.
Heated Area = Total Contact Area - No-Heat Area
To calculate the heated area:
1.Using the chart below, locate the no-heat factor
corresponding to the type of heater being considered.
2.To use the formula below, insert the no-heat factors,
length and width (in inches).
Heated Area = (Overall Length - No-Heat Factor)

WATLOW®
Strip/Clamp-On Heaters
375 High-Temperature Strip Heaters
Named for its 0.375 in. (9.5 mm) thickness, the rugged
Watlow® 375 strip heater is capable of both high
temperatures and high watt densities.
Watlow begins construction by accurately placing a
coiled, nickel-chromium element wire in the center
of the heater. The element wire is then embedded in
magnesium oxide (MgO)-based insulation compacted
into a solid mass creating excellent heat conductivity
and high dielectric strength. The heater is then enclosed
in aluminized steel or 430 stainless steel sheathing.
Performance Capabilities
• Aluminized steel sheath temperatures up to
1100°F (595°C)
• 430 stainless steel sheath temperatures up to
1200°F (650°C)
• Watt densities up to 100 W/in2 (15.5 W/cm2)
•UL® approved up to 240VAC (File No. E52951)
• CSA approved up to 600VAC (File No. LR7392)

Insulators are suitable when air heating and/or voltage
to ground is a concern. A secondary insulation bushing
kit, part number Z5230, contains one set of bushings for
one heater. To accommodate bushings,17/32 x 11/16 inch
diameter mounting holes must be specified when
ordering the heater.

Treatment—This process coats the MgO insulation.
The treated insulation fends off moisture when unheated
for long periods of time. It is also ideal for heaters that
are exported to customers around the world, where high
humidity may be a problem.
Tab removal is available from stock or manufactured
products. Length without tabs equals total length
including tabs minus 11/2 in. (38 mm).
Ground Studs and Mounting Studs
Standard 1/4-20 x 11/2 in. (38 mm) or M6-1 x 40 steel
studs are welded to the heater. Contact your Watlow
representative for exact locations on specific heaters.
Flat Tabs
Mounting tabs can be formed flat to allow bar clamping.

sizes have mounting slot center to center distances 1/8 in. (3.2 mm) less than Watlow spacing.
Note: 5/16 in. x 1/2 in. (7.9 mm x 13 mm) mounting slots are supplied on all 375 strip heaters.
Note that the Watlow part number specifies that the 375 strip heater includes an aluminized
steel sheath. If a special sheath material is required, such as stainless steel, please contact
your Watlow representative for material availability.

FIREBAR®
heating elements provide added heating
performance over standard round tubular heating
elements—especially for immersion applications in
petroleum based liquids requiring high kilowatts.
The FIREBAR’s unique flat surface geometry packs more
power in shorter elements and assemblies, along with a
host of other performance improvements. These include:
• Minimizing coking and fluid degrading
• Enhancing the flow of fluid past the element’s surface
to carry heat from the sheath
• Improving heat transfer with a significantly larger
boundary layer allowing much more liquid to flow up
and across the sheath’s surface
FIREBAR elements are available in single- and
double-ended constructions with one inch or
5/8 inch heights. These two configuration variables make
it possible to use FIREBAR elements instead of round
tubular elements in virtually all applications.

Strip/Clamp-On Heaters
Thick Film Conduction Heaters
The Watlow 430 stainless steel thick film conduction
heater is ideal for many applications where fast response
and uniformity are essential. A clamp-on, thick film heater
provides the best possible combination of heat transfer,
thermal efficiency, temperature response and uniformity in
a low profile package.
This high-performance heater can be used in areas
where space is limited or where conventional heaters
cannot be used due to limited voltage and wattage
combinations.
Thick film conduction heaters provide a low profile
in a variety of shapes including two-dimensional circular
and rectangular forms. Direct contact of thick film heaters
to surfaces ensures efficient heat transfer through
thermally stable substrates and precise resistance
trace patterns.
