Insulated in proximity to the bottom disk. Suitable for avoiding disturbances
to very sensitive equipment. This type is used for the models in stock (see
sizes).
UTC Type 3 »
Grounded to the metal sheath within a 12 mm cold section, located at the center of the heater. Guarantees excellent accuracy of the temperature and quick response. It cannot be used in cartridges with a diameter below 10mm.
UTC Type 4 »
Insulated at center of the heater. It provides the heater's temperature allowing the evaluation of heat exchange for a better use of both heater and energy.
