Sheath Alloy Selector

Sheath Alloy Selector

Metal-sheathed constructions are chosen by sheath alloy, not by watts per metre. Enter the temperature the sheath has to live at and say whether the medium is corrosive, and the selector reports which of the four published alloys covers it.

Configuration Parameters

Published sheath alloys

Sheath material Recommended temperature range of the sheath material
Stainless steel 304−196 °C to 500 °C
Stainless steel 316L450 °C to 650 °C
Stainless steel 321500 °C to 800 °C
Alloy 825600 °C to 850 °C

Application Notes

These are recommended ranges for the sheath material, not operating envelopes for a heating circuit. The highest maintain temperature Jinyou publishes for any product is 500 °C, on the skin-effect system.
