Mineral Insulated Heating Cables

Pyrotenax™ MI Cable-Alloy 825: Alloy 825 Mineral Insulated Heating Cables provide solutions for industrial freeze protection & process-temperature maintenance applications in hazardous & non-hazardous locations. MI is also used where high power output, high exposure temperatures, or extreme resistance to environmental corrosives are needed. MI heating cables can provide up to 82 watts per foot (269 watts per meter) of power output with area classification & design approvals. MI heating cables are constructed & approved for use in non-hazardous & hazardous (classified) areas. The maximum application temperature for heating units is 1022°F (550°C) & the maximum exposure temperature for the heating cable is 1238°F (670°C). Higher temperatures are available by special order.

Self-Regulating Heating Cables

BTV: The BTV family of Raychem self-regulating heating cables provides the solution to freeze-protection & process-temperature maintenance applications. BTV heating cables maintain process temperatures up to 150°F (65°C) & can withstand intermittent exposure to temperatures up to 185°F (85°C).

The heating cables are configured for use in non-hazardous & hazardous (classified) locations, including areas where corrosives may be present.

QTVR: The QTVR family of Raychem self-regulating heating cables is designed for pipe heat tracing in industrial applications. QTVR heating cables can provide process-temperature maintenance up to 225°F (110°C) & can also be used for freeze protection in systems having high heat loss. The heating cables are configured for use in non-hazardous & hazardous (classified) locations, including areas where corrosives may be present.

XTV: The XTV family of Raychem self-regulating heating cables provides solutions for industrial freeze protection & process-temperature maintenance applications requiring high power output. XTV heating cables can withstand temperatures up to 420°F (215°C) & provide process temperature maintenance to 250°F (121°C).

The heating cables are configured for use in non-hazardous & hazardous (classified) locations, including areas where corrosives may be present.
