Raychem 10FHT4-CT Constant Wattage Parallel Heating Cable, 400 V, 10 W/m

FMT and FHT are constant wattage parallel circuit heating cables designed for pipe and equipment heat-tracing in industrial applications. This family offers an economical alternative to self-regulating heating cables but requires more skill for installation and also requires more advanced control and monitoring systems.

Its unique round geometry provides excellent flexibility during installation as it allows for bending in every direction. The heating element which is the most fragile part of any constant wattage parallel circuit heating cable is protected by a PTFE insulation tape that eliminates shear stresses during flexing and also acts as a shock absorber, thereby providing a high level of protection. The heating cables can be used for frost protection and process temperature maintenance requiring high power output. The heating cables are zone parallel heaters constructed from a heating element wrapped around two parallel conductors. The distance between conductor contact points forms the heating zone length. The parallel construction allows it to be cut-to-length and terminated in the field.

FMT heating cables can withstand routine steam purges and temperature exposure to 200°C power off. They can be used to maintain temperatures up to 150°C (depending on cable type) and are only available in a 230 Vac version.
