Heat Shrinking Methods
(1) OVEN
Parts may be charged into a hot or room temperature oven. The oven temperature must be increased to more than the "shrinking" temperature.
Parts should be ideally suspended or supported without touching the hot oven surfaces
Uniform application of heat is essential to prevent wrinkling
With small parts, a fast cycle (in and out of the oven rapidly) may be used to shrink the tubing, avoiding unnecessary heating
(2) HEAT GUN with Temperature Range 500 F to 700 F (260 °C - 400 °C)
A heat gun is a convenient and practical tool to apply heat when an oven is not available or not necessary
Parts may be covered one at a time
Uniform shrinkage requires rotating the part while heat is being applied. Baffles may be used to achieve uniform heat distribution around the part
For larger parts, heat distribution can be improved by assembling baffles of sheet metal, or ceramic plate to direct and distribute the heat uniformly around the part |
| Size |
Standard sizes are shown in the appendix chart. The "Expanded ID" is the supplied ID. "Recovered ID" refers to the final dimension after shrinking. |
