Heatecx Limited
This ceramic pad heater is a fundamental tool in industries such as petrochemical, power generation, construction, and industrial maintenance, where the integrity of pipe welds is critical for operational safety and efficiency. With a maximum operating temperature of 750°C, the LCD-Q model is perfectly suitable for a wide range of heat treatment processes, including welding preheating, annealing, and post-weld heat treatment (PWHT). Its adaptable design and the variety of available sizes make it compatible with a wide range of pipe diameters, offering a precise and reliable heating solution.
The LCD-Q Ceramic Pad Heater, known as the split heater, is a highly efficient and versatile industrial heating solution, specifically designed for the heat treatment of small and medium-diameter pipes. This belt-type heater is characterized by its split design, which greatly facilitates installation and removal on existing pipes or in hard-to-reach spaces. Manufactured with a high-performance insulating material and a protective outer casing, the LCD-Q heating element ensures uniform heat distribution and minimal energy loss, making it an ideal choice for weld preheating and stress relief in piping systems.
The LCD-Q Ceramic Heater is the preferred solution for pipe heat treatment in various applications:
Pipe welding preheating: Essential to prevent cracks and improve the quality of welded joints in carbon steel, alloy steel, and other material pipes.
Pipe post-weld heat treatment (PWHT): Crucial for relieving residual stresses generated during welding, improving the corrosion and fatigue resistance of pipes.
Heating of pipes for industrial processes: Used to maintain the fluidity of transported products, prevent condensation, or facilitate chemical reactions in piping systems.
Pipe maintenance and repair: Its split design allows for easy installation on existing pipes for repairs or modifications requiring heat treatment.
Construction and assembly industry: For the heat treatment of welds in the construction of industrial plants, refineries, and power plants.
Split Design for Easy Installation: Allows for quick placement and removal on pipes, even in tight spaces, without the need to disassemble the line.
Uniform and Efficient Heating: Ensures homogeneous heat distribution around the pipe circumference, guaranteeing high-quality heat treatment.
Superior Thermal Insulation: Minimizes heat loss to the environment, reducing energy consumption and improving process efficiency.
Size Versatility: Available for a wide range of pipe diameters, from Φ89 mm to Φ426 mm, covering the most common industrial needs.
Precise Temperature Control: Allows for rigorous control of the thermal cycle, complying with the most demanding welding standards and specifications.
Durability and Reliability: Manufactured with high-quality materials to withstand industrial working conditions and guarantee a long service life.

Calculating the power of heaters for PWHT and determining the number of ceramic heaters required is a heat treatment engineering process that considers several factors. These include the type of material to be treated, the thickness of the piece, the total mass, the desired temperature, the heating time, the heat loss to the environment, and the efficiency of the insulation. Thermodynamic formulas and specialized software are used to estimate the necessary energy. It is crucial to select industrial heaters with adequate power and distribute them optimally to ensure uniform and efficient heating, complying with the heating and cooling rates stipulated by the regulations.
