The Thermon USX Self-Regulating Industrial Heat Tracing Cable is an advanced solution meticulously engineered for critical process maintenance and freeze protection applications, specifically tailored for scenarios where ultra-high temperature ratings are imperative. This cutting-edge system empowers the use of ambient sensing controls, providing unparalleled flexibility for applications with continuous exposure temperatures reaching up to 240°C (464°F).

At the core of USX’s exceptional performance is Thermon’s unique and proven monolithic co-extrusion process, setting new benchmarks for self-regulating heat tracing technology. This innovative construction method elevates the system to the ultimate frontiers of performance and reliability, ensuring optimal functionality in demanding industrial environments.

The heat output of the USX heat tracing cable exhibits dynamic responsiveness to the surrounding temperature. Automatic compensation occurs along the entire length of a heat-traced pipe, effectively adjusting to variations in ambient temperature or heat lost through thermal insulation. This intelligent self-regulating feature not only ensures energy efficiency but also contributes to the reliability of the system in maintaining precise temperatures.

USX heat tracing holds approvals for use in both ordinary (nonclassified) areas and hazardous (classified) areas, underlining its compliance with rigorous safety standards. This makes it a trusted and versatile choice for a wide range of industrial applications.

In summary, the USX Self-Regulating Industrial Heat Tracing Cable stands as a pinnacle of innovation, offering ultra-high temperature capabilities, intelligent self-regulation, and exceptional reliability. It is a valuable solution for critical processes where precision and performance are paramount.

USX Industrial Heating Cable Construction

  1. Nickel-plated copper bus wires (16 AWG)
  2. Monolithic co-extruded semiconductive heating matrix and fluoropolymer dielectric insulation
  3. Nickel-plated copper braid
  4. Fluoropolymer over-jacket provides additional protection where exposure to chemicals or corrosives is expected.
