Specification

About:

The "SC/F Series" typically denotes a specific range within a manufacturer's portfolio, optimized for safety in hazardous locations and effective for freeze protection. The NPC (Nickel-Plated Copper) shield refers to the cable's conductive and shielding components, while TC (Tinned Copper) braid indicates additional mechanical protection and grounding capabilities. Polyolefin insulation suggests a focus on chemical resistance and durability under various environmental conditions.

Also Known As:

• Hazardous location freeze protection heating cable
• NPC shielded and TC braided polyolefin heating cable
• SC/F series polyolefin-insulated trace heating system
• Explosion-proof freeze protection heating cable

Application:

• Freeze protection for pipes, valves, and tanks in petrochemical plants, refineries, and offshore platforms where hazardous gases or liquids are processed or stored.
• Temperature maintenance for process lines, instrumentation lines, and tanks in pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities or other industries operating in hazardous environments.
• Protecting fire protection systems from freezing in environments classified as hazardous due to the presence of flammable substances.

Standards:

• ATEX and IECEx certifications for use in explosive atmospheres, ensuring global compliance.
• NEC requirements for hazardous locations, establishing its suitability for use in North America.
• Potentially UL and CSA certifications, confirming its safety and performance standards.
• Compliance with specific industry standards relevant to its application areas, ensuring reliability and safety.

Construction:

• Conductive Core: Utilizes NPC (Nickel-Plated Copper) conductors for efficient heating and corrosion resistance.
• Insulation: Polyolefin insulation provides chemical resistance and electrical isolation.
• Shielding: A TC (Tinned Copper) braid offers mechanical protection, grounding, and EMI shielding.
• Outer Jacket: A durable polyolefin or similar material jacket enhances environmental resistance and durability.

Features:

• Long circuit length capability: up to 12,000 ft/3659 m from a single power source
• Supports high voltages, up to 600 VAC
• Reliable during long life: 10 year extended product warranty available, maintenance free
