Descriptiongraph1.gif

Type RPG Industrial Electric Heating Tapes are Constant Watts Output electrical heaters supplied in fixed lengths, with factory-made cold-lead terminations.

Multiple-element woven construction provides high mechanical strength combined with reduced electrical and thermal stresses on the heating element.

tape1.gif (9051 bytes)Individual RPG heating elements are double glass lap insulated, silicone varnished & integrally woven into a heavy duty glass fibre carrier

Cold-leads are made from stranded nickel wires, double glass insulated, silicone varnished. Standard cold-lead length is 500m.

 

Field of Application:

RPG heating tapes are non moisture resistant units employed for higher operating temperatures on special process pipework, pilot plant etc.

Specific Applications:

Where dry conditions are guaranteed. Heat maintenance in bitumen and tars.

Laboratories.

Indoor Processes & Surface Heating where steam flushing is used.
