13、 Specification 1 Scope This British Standard specifies requirements for industrial electric immersion heaters designed for permanent installation in cylinders or tanks, for the heating of liquids. The heaters may have fixed, replaceable or removable elements. This standard does not apply to immersio

14、n heaters for mounting over the side of tanks, nor to heaters designed for household use. 2 References 2.1 Normative references This British Standard incorporates, by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are made at the appropriate places in the

15、text and the cited publications are listed on page 18. For dated references, only the edition cited applies: any subsequent amendments to or revisions of the cited publication apply to this British Standard only when incorporated in the reference by amendment or revision. For undated references, the

16、 latest edition of the cited publication applies, together with any amendments. 2.2 Informative references This British Standard refers to other publications that provide information or guidance. Editions of these publications current at the time of issue of this standard are listed on the inside ba

17、ck cover, but reference should be made to the latest editions. 3 Definitions For the purposes of this British Standard, the following definitions apply. 3.1 (metal-sheathed heating) element A heating assembly comprising a resistance alloy within, and insulated from, a tubular metal sheath. 3.2 fixed

18、 element An element which is permanently attached to its supporting body by adhesive bonding, soldering, brazing, welding or any type of mechanical joint. 3.3 replaceable element An element which can only be removed with the aid of a tool, normally after removal of the immersion heater from its cont

19、ainment vessel. 3.4 removable element An element which can be extracted without the need for removing the immersion heater from its containment vessel. 3.5 element head The screwed member to which the heating element(s) is(are) attached. 3.6 element plate The non-screwed member to which the heating

22、 or closing a circuit. 3.10 temperature limiter A temperature-sensing device, the operating value of which may be either fixed or adjustable and which during normal use, functions by opening or closing a circuit when the temperature reaches a predetermined value. NOTE. A temperature limiter does not

23、 make the reverse operation during the normal duty cycle of the heater. It may or may not require manual resetting. 3.11 thermal cut-out A device which, during abnormal operation, limits the temperature of a heater, or of parts of it, by automatically opening the circuit or by reducing the current,

24、and which is so constructed that its setting cannot be altered by the user. 3.12 self-resetting thermal cut-out A thermal cut-out that automatically restores the current after the relevant part of the appliance has cooled down sufficiently. 3.13 non-self-resetting thermal cut-out A thermal cut-out t

25、hat requires resetting by hand, or replacement of a part, in order to restore the current. 3.14 metal conducting surface The metal surface interface between the heater and the liquid, excluding any cold or dead areas. 3.15 watts density The power (in watts) dissipated per unit surface area of the me

28、system applied to live parts that provides a degree of protection against electric shock equivalent to double insulation. NOTE. The term insulation system does not imply that the insulation is one homogeneous piece. It may comprise several layers that cannot be tested singly. 3.20 stud terminal Scre

29、w-type terminal in which the conductor is clamped under one or two nuts. The clamping pressure may be applied directly by a suitably shaped nut or through an intermediate part, such as a washer, clamping plate or anti-spread device. 3.21 pillar terminal Screw-type terminal in which the conductor is

30、inserted into a hole or cavity, where it is clamped under the shank of the screw or screws. The clamping pressure may be applied directly by the shank of the screw or through an intermediate part to which pressure is applied by the shank of the screw. 3.22 thermal insulation A material or system tha

31、t has the property of resisting the transfer of heat. 3.23 rated voltage The voltage assigned to the heater by the manufacturer. 3.24 rated power The wattage, at rated voltage, assigned to the heater by the manufacturer. 3.25 screw terminal Screw-type terminal in which the conductor is clamped under
