PIPELINE HEAT TRACING

Self-limiting parallel heating tape PSBL - 65°C - 85°C heating cable 

• Can be cut to any length due to the parallel current supply
• Tinned copper braiding for electrical and mechanical protection
• Easy installation due to high level of flexibility

Around two parallel positioned copper wires with a cross-section of 1 mm² an irradiated electrically conducting polymer is extruded. This electrically conducting matrix responds to changes of the ambient temperature with an increase or decrease of the heating output. A flame-retardant, UV-resistant jacket protects the braiding against humidity and offers additional protection against mechanical stress. The heating system must be designed to ensure that the maximum operating temperature of 65 °C will not be exceeded when it is energized. When it is switched off, the heating tape can be exposed to a temperature of 85 °C, not more than 1,000 hours cumulated.

Areas of application

The PSBL heating tape is suitable for electric trace heating for frost protection of pipelines and vessels. While the polyolefin protective jacket is used where there are aqueous, inorganic chemicals, the fluoropolymer protective jacket is suitable for organic chemicals. For questions regarding the chemical resistance please contact your BARTEC sales representative.

Self-Regulating Heating Cable – MSB Series | +110 °C Continuous Operating Temperature – +130 °C Exposure Temperature (De-energized)

The BARTEC MSB series self-regulating heating cable is ATEX and IECEx certified, designed for reliable use in industrial applications. It features a flexible structure, can be cut to the required length on-site, and is resistant to chemicals thanks to its fluoropolymer outer jacket. A temperature-dependent resistive heating element automatically adjusts the output based on ambient conditions, preventing overheating without the need for an external temperature limiter—even in hazardous areas.

Areas of Application

• Freeze protection of liquid and gas pipelines in chemical, petrochemical, food, and pharmaceutical industries

• Temperature maintenance for piping systems in process applications

• Heating of pipelines in hazardous areas (ATEX-certified zones)

• Ensuring flow in crude oil and natural gas lines

• Freeze protection for fire suppression systems under cold conditions

• Temperature maintenance in water supply lines and storage tanks

• Preventing freezing of liquids in chemical and food storage tanks

• Protection of facility and building piping systems in cold climates
