The Channel Heat Treatment Heating Element is a specialized form of resistance heater designed to fit into narrow spaces or restricted areas, providing concentrated and controlled heat. These elements are specifically engineered for localized heat treatment on challenging sections like circumferential welds or repairs around nozzles where traditional flat pads are impractical (Supplier: Incertech).
The Channel element’s unique form factor makes it ideal for areas where the heating surface must be confined or fitted into tight spaces. They enable operators to apply heat externally in areas where internal access is severely limited, delivering thermal energy exactly where it is needed for preheating or stress relief. Proper safety procedures and a clean surface are critical for maximizing the effectiveness of these specialized elements.
Applying localized heat treatment on circumferential welds, nozzle joints, and small diameter pipework during welding and stress-relieving procedures.

The Channel Element has a narrower, often contoured construction that allows it to effectively heat tight-fitting areas like the weld preparation channel or around nozzle joints, unlike the wider, flat surface of a standard FCP.
Due to its specialized shape, the element is usually secured using high-temperature insulation pins, ceramic studs, or binding wire to ensure consistent, intimate contact with the workpiece surface.
No. Overlapping should be avoided with all resistance heaters, especially specialized types like this, as it can cause localized temperature spikes and lead to element failure or damage to the workpiece.
