Infrared Tubes:

The quartz halogen lamp consists of a helically wound tungsten filament encased in a quartz envelope. The lamps are available as a point source or as a linear source from 2 to 38 inches (51 to 965 mm) in length. Tungsten is a fast responding resistive element that is capable of surviving temperatures in excess of 2750°C.

The quartz envelope allows transmission of the IR energy, while protecting the filament from convective cooling and corrosion. The quartz is evacuated and filled with inert gases. A small amount of halogen gas is added to promote long life of the emitter. Rated life for most T3 lamps is from 1500 to 5000 hours. Actual life will depend upon the application and environment and may be greater or less than rated.

Tungsten responds rapidly when a voltage is applied. In less than 1 second, over 90% of the available IR energy is available. This rapid response will yield several control benefits, including short oven warm up times and high levels of repeatability.
