Mineral Insulated Cable for Tubular Heaters MI Series
ICA-30W / COP-30W / 304-30W
An extremely versatile heat source.
Highly adaptable, the tubular element, in its many forms, has vastly increased the scale of electric heating applications. Its mechanical and electrical flexibility are important to the process engineer and product designer alike, as heating requirements can be matched accurately by proper selection from a great variety of element lengths, sheaths, diameters and watt densities.
Product uniformity – Electric tubular heating elements provide a method of applying the exact amount of heat required to a specific area.
Sheath Material
For resisting any corrosion inherent in the process or environment and for withstanding the sheath temperature required. OMEGALUX® cable features Incoloy as its standard sheath material due to its superior temperature ratings. Other sheath materials such as copper, steel and stainless steel are available – contact our Sales Department for details.
Features
Tough outer sheath of copper, steel or Incoloy resists damage during installation and provides a reliable electrical ground for safe operation. Non-inflammable. MI cable will not burn or support combustion.
Mineral insulated heating cables are capable of maintaining temperatures far higher than other types of heating cable. In addition, they can have output ratings more than 10 times greater than other heater cables. The metal sheath provides great strength and resistance.
ICA-30W / COP-30W / 304-30W
We make running changes when technical advances allow. Check at time of ordering for additional features. CAUTION AND WARNING! Fire and electrical shock may result if products are used improperly or installed or used by non-qualified personnel. Note: MI Heating Cable is available in other sheath materials and cable diameters. Contact our Sales Department for additional specifications and pricing. End Termination Kits Consult our Engineering Department for information on Tubular Heater End Termination Kit styles and availability! |
  MI Heating Cable can easily be bent or formed to make tubular and immersion coil heating elements. |
