Heaters are used in many applications throughout diverse industries. They’re used in medical devices, industrial devices, automotive, commercial etc… They come in all shapes and sizes, from the very small - fractions of an inch to the very large - measured in feet and may be designed to wrap closely to the surfaces that require the heat.
