Designed for freeze and condensation protection, Watlow’s enclosure heaters are rugged, reliable and safe to operate. These rectangular-shaped, wire-wound silicone rubber enclosure heaters can be ordered by themselves with adhesive or vulcanized to an aluminum mounting plate. A thermostat can be attached to the heater or mounted separately. Pictured are enclosure heater units with thermostat on heater in foreground and heater with remote thermostat in background.
- Pressure sensitive adhesive mounting for quick and easy installation
- Several standard thermostat set points ensures protection against freezing with minimal energy consumption
- Remote thermostat option provides optimal choice of heater location versus temperature control location

THERMISTORS
FAST, ACCURATE, REPEATABLE TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
Watlow thermistors are designed to ensure fast, accurate and repeatable temperature measurement. Thermistors are highly sensitive to small changes in temperature and maintain accurate temperatures over a limited range. These sensors are made with either epoxy-coated or glass-coated constructions and can be used in the most demanding environmental conditions.
- Designed to maintain accuracy over the life of the sensor improves process control
- High resistance reduces the chance for errors
- Interchangeable maintains good system repeatability
- Point sensitive senses temperature in a very specific location

MILLED GROOVE TUBULAR HEATERS
PRECISION FORMED TO YOUR HOT RUNNER MOLD APPLICATIONS
WATROD milled groove heaters are precision-formed and customized to your hot runner mold application. Even tight radius bends of 0.250 inch maintaining tolerances of ±0.062 to ±0.002 inch are possible. This capability not only allows you freedom to design for the optimum uniform heating pattern for your plastics process, but also guarantees quick and easy installation.
Simply send your groove dimensions in a detailed drawing or on CAD file. Depending on the formation requirements, the resulting CAD design will be transferred to either Watlow’s CNC bending equipment or a highly skilled bending operator.
A variety of sheath materials are available including alloy 800, 304 stainless steel and 316 stainless steel, each offering unique advantages of long life in high temperature molds, rigidity to maintain shape during shipment and corrosion resistance.
Watlow not only delivers the heat fast to the process with efficient heat transfer, but guarantees the heater’s fast delivery, too. While Watlow guarantees standard delivery within three to four weeks, tough delivery schedules are Watlow’s specialty.
- Precise conformity to customer specifications ensures easy installation
- Alloy 800 sheath material are corrosion resistant and capable in high-temperature environments
- 304 stainless steel features excellent pliability – best choice for small bend radii
- Superior resistance coil design produces even heating
- Threaded stud or lead wire termination as required provides robust options for challenging environments

TRUE SURFACE THERMOCOUPLES – STYLE TST
INCREASE SURFACE TEMPERATURE ACCURACY WITH IMPROVED THERMOCOUPLE DESIGN
Watlow’s TRUE SURFACE thermocouple (TST) offers superior accuracy for measuring flat surface temperatures. This compact, highly accurate sensor isolates the thermocouple junction from ambient airflow. The TST typically achieves accuracy and repeatability between one to two percent (ΔT).
The TST, with its removable molded cover, fits into corners and other tight locations. TSTs are easy to install with a variety of commonly used screw types.
Watlow’s TST sensor is ideal for many applications including semiconductor chambers, platens, packaging, cleaning and food preparation.

MULTIPOINT THERMOCOUPLES – STYLE AW
ACCURATELY MEASURES TEMPERATURES AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS
Temperature variances exist in all systems, regardless of materials, working fluid or system design. There is not a process that involves heating a particular medium where temperature of that medium is consistent throughout— temperature gradients always exist. Sensing temperature at a single location during a process is acceptable for many applications because temperature gradients are often insignificant. However, there is a need for many applications to monitor temperature in multiple locations to ensure a safe, accurate and cost efficient process. Installing multiple, independent temperature sensors may be impractical due to cost or space limitations.
Multipoint temperature sensors accurately measure temperatures at various locations along the sensor’s length. They are used across a broad range of processes and installations—predominately in applications involving a large or complex process where close temperature control is necessary.
Multipoint temperature sensors are designed to meet requirements of specific applications that include temperature, pressure, chemical environments, time response and number of points required. Sensors are constructed from a variety of protecting tube materials that use XACTPAK mineral insulated, metal-sheathed cable. Multipoint temperature sensors are available in standard or special ASTM thermocouple calibration tolerances. For applications requiring extreme accuracy, special constructions can be made with platinum resistance temperature detectors (RTDs).

MINERAL INSULATED THERMOCOUPLES – STYLE AQ – MINIATURE TRANSITIONS
WATLOW’S MINERAL INSULATED (MI) THERMOCOUPLES ARE FAST-RESPONDING, DURABLE AND CAPABLE OF HANDLING HIGH TEMPERATURES
Manufactured with best-in-class XACTPAK®, Watlow’s trademark for metal sheathed, mineral insulated (MI) thermocouple material, XACTPAK responds fast because the protective metal outer sheath allows use of smaller diameter thermocouple conductors. The rock hard compacted MgO insulation further enhances the sensor’s ability to “read” temperature by transferring heat quickly to the measuring junction.
The XACTPAK protecting sheath and compacted insulation outperform bare wire thermocouples in most applications.
