Still Properly Positioned

Two weeks ago we discussed the tolerance of a heater and positioning of a flange.  Another positioning device is our mounting bracket.  Our Dalton Electric mounting bracket is TIG welded onto the heater to control the insertion distance of the heater and also acts as a means to secure the heater into the heat sink.

.

Like the flange, it carried an "A" and "B" Dimension for positioning.  The "B" Dimension exactly controls the insertion and is measured from the tip to the first surface of the bracket. If the "B" Dimension is used, the length tolerance of the heater will be completely outside the bore, and an appropriate cold terminal end must be provided.

The "A" dimension is measured in a different way.  It is measured from the terminal end to the beginning or first surface of the mounting bracket. We have two mounting brackets... one of them is used on a 1/2" diameter and the other for a 5/8" diameter heater.  The length of the mounting bracket on a 1/2" heater is .51" and on the 5/8" heater, it's .475".  The cold terminal end in the heater must be long enough to ensure that the heat is beyond the bracket surface.

Be sure to contact your Watt-Flex® cartridge heater Regional Manager for assistance.

A medical professor had just finished a lecture on the subject of mental health and started to give an oral quiz to the first years.  Speaking specifically about manic depression, the senior doctor asked, 'How would you diagnose a patient who walks back and forth screaming at the top of his lungs one minute, then sits in a chair weeping uncontrollably the next?' 

A young man in the rear of the room raised his hand and answered,  'A World Cup coach?'

TGID note: All the best to Spain and The Netherlands ... it will be a great match on Sunday!!!
