If I leave my pitot heat on will your covers melt or burn?
Temp Range
The fabric pitot covers (Angled, Universal, Blade & DA42/PC12) are not high temperature or flame rated. However, the Sunbrella fabric and florescent green binding are made from acrylic fibers (eg.made from oil) so in theory, (and as we’ve been told, in practice) they melt well.
In terms of outdoor environmental concerns we have customers that use them in the heat of the desert and extreme cold of Alaska.
The standard PVC plugs (3/4″, 5/8″ and Light Sport) are rated for (107*C/225*F). Plus we offer special order high temp (230*C/446*F) plugs in virtually any diameter and length.
We also offer a high temp Kevlar probe cover by special order.
