About:

The HQTVR heating cable is engineered for safety and efficiency in environments classified as hazardous (Class I Division 1, CID1). It features a self-regulating core that adjusts its heat output in response to the surrounding temperature, minimizing the risk of overheating. The nickel-plated copper shield and TC braid ensure electrical safety and mechanical durability, while the fluoropolymer jacket provides chemical resistance and environmental protection.

Also Known As:

• HQTVR CID1-rated self-regulating heating cable
• Explosion-proof trace heating cable
• Hazardous area heating cable

Application:

• Freeze protection and temperature maintenance for piping in oil refineries, gas processing plants, and chemical manufacturing facilities
• Heating applications in pharmaceutical plants where hazardous materials are processed
• Tank heating in environments with potentially explosive atmospheres

Standards:

• Certifications for use in Class I Division 1 (CID1) hazardous locations, indicating compliance with strict safety regulations
• UL listing and CSA certification for North American markets
• Potential compliance with international standards like ATEX or IECEx for global applications

Construction:

• A self-regulating conductive core that adjusts power output to ambient temperature changes
• Nickel-plated copper conductors for reliable electrical connectivity and corrosion resistance
• A tin-copper braid (TC braid) that offers additional mechanical strength and serves as a grounding layer
• A fluoropolymer jacket providing excellent chemical resistance and durability in harsh conditions

Features:

• Simplified design for hazardous areas: configured for use in C1D1 locations including areas where corrosives may be present.
• Fast installation: cut-to-length, multiple overlaps allowed, meter markings, user-friendly connections kits
• Safe and efficient in operation: no overheating, uniform pipe temperatures, energy saving technology
• Reliable during long life: 10 year product warranty available, maintenance free
