Hey Everyone,
While browsing Ebay I found someone selling some heating elements very cheap. The seller does not know much about them but they seem like a great deal.
Heating Element, Chromalox, 600 watt, 115 volt, 28"
Heating Element, Chromalox, 100 watt, 120 volt, 23"

I sent him an email asking about further specs for the elements and was told he did not know them due to the fact that they were a subcontrator for someone and it was really thier project. They were to be putting them into some sort of tube or some such.
I picked a few of each up and plan to test one when it gets here. Hopefully once full power is applied to it and it heats up I will be able to determine the hot length and then go from there.
I have plans to use the 100 watt heaters in a custom dryer for plastics when needed.

FYI-
The 115volt/600watt elements will pull approx 5.22 amps and produce 2,046btu's/hr. (per element)
The 120volt/100watt elements will pull approx. .83 amps and produce 341btu/hr. (per element)
Yor actual heat output and amp draw will depend on your actual supply voltage at your workshop.
