About:

The HXTV heating cable is designed for Class I Division 1 (CID1) environments, ensuring it is safe for use in areas where there is a risk of explosive atmospheres. The self-regulating core of the cable allows it to adjust its power output in response to temperature changes, providing efficient heating while minimizing the risk of overheating. The nickel-plated copper shield and tin-copper braid enhance the cable's durability and electrical safety, while the fluoropolymer jacket offers excellent chemical resistance.

Also Known As:

• HXTV hazardous area heating cable
• CID1 rated self-regulating heating cable
• Fluoropolymer-insulated trace heating system

Application:

• Piping freeze protection and temperature maintenance in the oil and gas industry, chemical processing plants, and other sectors with explosive atmospheres
• Process temperature management for sensitive materials in pharmaceuticals or fine chemicals manufacturing
• Vessel, drum, and tank heating to prevent content solidification or maintain required process temperatures

Standards:

• Approval for Class I Division 1 (CID1) hazardous locations, signifying it can safely operate in areas where flammable gases or vapors are present
• Likely compliance with relevant UL and CSA standards for electrical safety and operational reliability
• Adherence to international standards may also apply, potentially including ATEX or IECEx certifications for global usage

Construction:

• A conductive core that self-regulates power output based on ambient temperature changes, enhancing energy efficiency and safety
• Nickel-plated copper conductors within a tin-copper braid for improved electrical stability, mechanical strength, and grounding
• A high-grade fluoropolymer outer jacket that provides superior resistance to chemicals, heat, and environmental exposure

Features:

• Simplified design in hazardous area: T2 and T3-T6 based on systems approach
• Longer circuit lengths due to larger cross section conductors
• 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
• Approved for CID1 areas
