What are Tubular Heaters?
Tubular heaters are electric heating elements formed by compacted magnesium oxide insulation enclosed in a metal sheath. They can be custom-shaped into various configurations such as straight, U-shaped, or circular to suit diverse heating needs. These heaters are known for their uniform heat distribution, resistance to corrosion, and adaptability to air, liquid, or surface heating applications.
