High Temperature Heating Tape
Our specialised high temperature trace heating glass and silica glass insulated tapes can be custom made to suit specific application requirements.
These high power, high temperature heating tapes are suitable for a temperature range of -100°C to +750°C.
Applications for our high temperature tapes include:
- Laboratory use
- High vacuum plant bake-out
- Pre-heat prior to welding
- Lead solder lines
High temperature cables are factory terminated in a made-to-measure, ready-to-fit form.
Please note these are high power tapes.
Construction
The heating tape comprises of four Nichrome heating elements insulated each side with woven glass tape sewn to form individual pockets.
Type IGS tape contains layers of Glass Cloth (withstand 450°C) which are used on each side of the heating element and cold leads of glass braid insulated nickel conductors are fitted at one end of the heating tape.
Type HT Heating tapes are constructed using Silica Materials which give them a very high temperature withstand (750°C) and are of a similar construction to Type IGS tapes.
Both types require careful handling and installation due to the nature of the material construction and must only be used in dry conditions.
If you are in any doubt as to the use of the heating cable and/or the suitability for your application please contact ESH.
