Understanding Watt Density

Understanding Watt Density

 N/A Information will help you understand watt density in order to select the proper wattage for your application.
  • Wattage will affect the durability and performance of your heater. To prevent heater failure, do not exceed the maximum recommended watt density for a specific heater size.
Watt density (W/in ) = WATTAGE / (3.14 x Inner Diameter x Width) - (Cold Section)
