Overview
HC Series in-line heaters are ideal for high-temperature, ultrapure processes. They feature PFA flow paths for optimal compatibility with aggressive chemicals. Their special internal fittings eliminate O-rings seals for enhanced cleanliness. They utilize the low-mass Heateflex® heating element with low watt density to provide fast, powerful temperature response.
