Q: Expected lifespan under continuous use?

A: Lifespan depends on three key factors:

Temperature: Every 50°C above design temperature halves the lifespan

Environment: Corrosive conditions may reduce lifespan by 30-70%

Cycling Frequency: With ≤5 daily on/off cycles, typical lifespan:

Standard SS: 10k-20k hours

Incoloy: 30k-50k hours

Ceramic: 50k+ hours
