Abstract: An efficient sand tube heater including a flexible heating element wrapped around a sand tube. The flexible heating element and sand tube are then surrounded by a heat sensitive sheathing. Heat is applied to the heat sensitive sheathing such that the heat sensitive sheathing shrinks around the flexible heating element and sand tube such that the flexible heating element remains in contact with the sand tube.
