About:

This heating cable is designed for critical heating applications that require a robust and reliable solution. The cable's dimensions, material composition, and electrical specifications suggest it's suited for heavy-duty applications, providing consistent heat distribution even in challenging environments.

Also Known As:

• It may be referred to by different names depending on the context or vendor, possibly focusing on its key features like "Alloy 825 heating cable" or "MI (mineral insulated) corrugated heating cable."
• In technical documentation or catalogs, it might be listed under different model names or numbers that reflect its size, resistance, material, or series.

Application:

• Industrial heating: This cable is likely used in environments requiring high temperature and corrosion resistance, such as chemical processing, power generation, and oil and gas industries.
• Freeze protection: To prevent the freezing of fluids in pipelines, tanks, or instrumentation lines, particularly in outdoor or unheated locations.
• Process temperature maintenance: Ensuring that certain materials or chemicals are maintained at specific temperatures during processing or storage.

Standards:

• Likely conforms to international and/or regional safety and quality standards relevant to electrical heating products, such as IEC or ASTM standards.
• It may also meet specific industry standards for performance in hazardous or corrosive environments, ensuring reliability and safety in its applications.

Construction:

• Core: Typically constructed with an Alloy 825 (Incoloy 825) resistance wire due to its high corrosion resistance and strength at high temperatures.
• Insulation: Mineral insulation, such as magnesium oxide, provides electrical insulation while allowing efficient heat transfer.
• Sheath: The corrugated stainless steel sheath protects the internal components from physical damage and corrosive substances, while also allowing flexibility.
• The "2C" designation indicates a two-conductor design, facilitating the electrical circuit necessary for heating.

Features:

• Lower sheath temperatures facilitating reduced pass designs and improved constructability
• Reduced total installed cost
• Reduced power supply costs: lower start up currents compared with other technologies
• Simple controls: current monitoring on series resistance provides instant visibility on critical circuits
• Reliable during long life: 10 year product warranty available, robust and rugged construction, proven in harsh climates extends life expectancy
• High corrosion resistance to a wide range of organic acids and alkalis
