CORROSION RESISTANCE: FERROUS VS NON-FERROUS METALS FOR PROCESS HEATERS

Selecting the right materials is one of the most important considerations when choosing an immersion heater.

Without the right heater materials, equipment risks corrosion. This can result in product degradation, mechanical failure or damage, and can result in inefficiencies, leaks, or other hazards.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution for preventing this damage. Corrosion is affected by the processes, operating temperatures, environment, and product of a project. As such, each project needs special attention given to choosing the right materials to prevent corrosion.

In this article, we explore corrosion resistance of ferrous versus non-ferrous metals for process heater applications.

WHY MARINE CREWS SHOULD USE FLANGED HEATERS FOR THEIR VOYAGES

Modern marine vessels are marvels of engineering and technology, requiring far less equipment and manpower than their predecessors.

Yet, providing sufficient heating to power the various components of a ship can be a challenge depending on the vessel’s purpose. That’s where flanged heaters come in. These types of heaters are among the most efficient heating devices boat crews can rely on. This post will examine why these heaters are so effective and how they work aboard various marine vessels.

5 COMMON INDUSTRIAL USES FOR CIRCULATION HEATERS

Circulation heaters receive much praise in the industrial world for their ability to service many liquid heating applications.

Oil-based solutions encompass a wide range of products. They include hydraulic oils used in hydraulic machinery, lubricating oils, and fuel oils. These oils need to be heated at precise temperatures (and often, pressures) to reach a suitable viscosity for which the oil can be used commercially. Circulation heaters provide even heat distribution that allows these oils to ...
