This range of silicon carbide elements are the prime source of easily controlled and environmentally acceptable heat providers for electrically operated furnaces, with temperatures up to 1500°C in air atmospheres.

Higher temperatures can be achieved by the application of special coatings/glazes, which are applied to the elements to decrease ageing in aggressive atmospheres. Coatings/glazes that are available range from those suitable for effective resistance to alkali, hydrogen, nitrogen, optical glass (trace of metallic minerals are present), water vapour and vacuum atmospheres, etc.

All elements are fully calibrated to ensure they are within the highest quality and electrical tolerance bands.

There are specially developed silicon carbide structures that can be used for all applications, This ensures the correct grade of element will always be offered and as all the elements are retro, a change in material grade can be of ultimate benefit to the user.

Experience has shown that the non spiraled, high resistance type is ideally suited as an alternative. This is due to low ageing characteristics plus the fact that some atmospheres within the furnace do not become lodged in the spirals. This has a beneficial effect as there is no mechanical damage done on cooling or heating the element due to the different rates of expansion and contraction.
