Heating elements are butt welded to the cold tails of ceramic eliminates the cold
heater core wire which eliminates the cold tail/core wire junction failures often
seen with low quality heaters which use steel ferrules.

Any pipe size or pipe configuration can be covered from the extensive range of
FCP heating elements, so that the correct amount of heating power can be
applied to successfully heat treat the pipe weld or other fabrication.

Flexible Ceramic pads heating elements are manufactured with a range of
power ratings for use with a selection of standard voltages.

If you require any special heating element configuration, voltage or power rating,
Viaduct Trading will use their heat treatment engineering expertise to provide you with a
heating element custom built to meet you exact needs.

If handled correctly, Stork FCP heating elements can be used approximately
fifty times at temperatures up to 1050ºC (1922ºF). Viaduct Trading Ltd can
provide higher temperature heating elements if required which can be used
repeatedly at temperatures up to 1200ºC
