Please consider the following factors in order to select the proper flange heater:
• Flange size and pressures
• Heating element watt density
• Length of your tank
• Sheath material (corrosive or non corrosive)
Temperature of the corrodent
Degree of aeration of exposed corrodent
Velocity of the corrodent
The following sections will help you select the best flange heater that will meet the requirements of your application.
