Curing Tank Heater, Dial-Type Thermostat

Curing Tank Heater

The Curing Tank Heater is specifically engineered to maintain optimal water temperatures in Concrete Curing Tanks of up to 350 gallons (1,325L), ensuring proper curing of concrete specimens. This heater effectively maintains the required curing temperature of 73.4°F ±3°F (23°C ±1.7°C), even when the surrounding ambient temperature ranges between 53°F–72°F (12°C–22°C). Proper temperature control during the curing process is essential for achieving accurate and reliable concrete test results.

Key Recommendations:

• Use one heater per 200 gallons of water.
• Additional heaters may be necessary for larger tanks, heavy specimen loads, or lower ambient temperatures.
• The heating element must always be submerged to a minimum depth of 12 inches (305mm) to function effectively and avoid damage.

Product Features and Design:

The Curing Tank Heater is a robust, high-quality unit designed for durability and efficiency. It features a 19-inch (483mm) Incoloy-shielded heating element housed in a sealed stainless steel casing for longevity and resistance to corrosion. A dial-type proportional controller ensures precise temperature regulation.

The heater operates on a 1,000-watt power supply and is compatible with 120V, 60Hz circuits, requiring a 15-amp breaker. For ease of use, it comes equipped with a 9-foot long, three-prong grounded plug, a built-in fuse, an operation indicator light (run light), and a sturdy mounting bracket for secure installation.
