Twin Tube

ATD twin tube heaters are available in short and medium wavelengths. These unique heaters offer higher radiant energy and excellent mechanical strength allowing for longer heated lengths than available with single tube T3 or T4 lamps.

Twin tubes are available in two cross sections: 33mm x 15mm and 22mm x 11mm. These heaters are available as individual lamps or cassettes. Specifications, major features and benefits are listed below:
