The self-regulating heating Raychem BTV cables

The self-regulating heating BTV cables of parallel type are intended for protection of pipelines against freezing and maintenance of temperature of technical processes to 65 °C.

Cables with a polyolefin external cover (-CR) can be used in the systems containing weak solutions of inorganic substances, and cables with a cover from the ftorpolimer having high chemical resistance (-CT) are intended for application in hostile organic and corrosion environment.

•  3BTV (9 W/m at 10 °C)
• 5BTV (16 W/m at 10 °C)
• 8BTV (25 W/m at 10 °C)
• 10BTV (29 W/m at 10 °C)

Advantages:

Simple design of a heating system for explosive zones:

• Unconditional temperature classification of T6 according to the European EN60079-30-1 standard (calculation and management of temperature of a cover are not required).

Bystry and simple installation of system:

• repeated imposing of rounds of a cable on valve fittings, flanges and difficult sites of pipelines is allowed
• possibility of cutting of a cable on sites on necessary lengths
• convenient sets for connection
• metric marking on an external cover of a cable.

Safety, reliability and efficiency:

• lack of risk of an overheat even when imposing rounds of the heating cable -
• the technology of self-regulation provides constancy of temperature on length of the pipeline and high energy efficiency. (Additional economy of the electric power can be reached when using various control and management systems).
• unconditional temperature classification of T6 guarantees safe heating of plastic pipes without application of special control measures.
