FCP flexible ceramic heater pad

Flexible Ceramic Pad (FCP) Heaters are made from 95% Al2O3. These pad heaters are assembled of interlocking sintered alumina ceramic beads which insulate stranded nickel-chrome wire. This durable construction forms a flexible mat of remarkable mechanical strength.

Applications

FCP heaters are used as heating sources in furnaces and industrial process equipment operating at temperatures up to 1100°C. It is also used in post heat treatment of weld joints and preheating of materials to be welded. Heating Elements operate on low voltage (80 volts or less on AC or DC current) such as that supplied by a typical arc welding power source. These mats are basically used as flexible and mobile ovens.

  • Preheating treatment
  • Post-heating treatment
  • Heating of tubes
  • Heating of vessels
  • Heating of containers

Forms of Delivery

The mats are commonly made of 95% Al2O3. Their modular design permits a variety of element shapes, sizes, and thermal capacities to choose from.
Most common elements are as follows:

  • Main Body Beads
  • Female End Beads
  • Male End Beads
  • Tail Beads
  • Main Body Beads with Holes
