AKO 7121H212 Heating Cable User Guide

7121H212 Ed.04

Self-regulating heating cable up to 65 ºC with braided metal sheath and fluoropolymer or polyolefin overjacket

Application

AKO-7121x and AKO-7121xP self-regulating heating cables are suitable for freeze protection and process temperature maintenance, up to 65 ºC.
They may be applied on metal or plastic surfaces.
AKO-7121x with fluoropolymer overjacket withstands organic chemicals or corrosives and AKO-7121xP with modified polyolefin overjacket is appropiate when the heating cable is exposed to aqueous inorganic chemicals. The heat cables are approved for use in ordinary and hazardous areas.

Typical applications

• Freeze protection
• Chemical & petrochemical industries
• Pipe heat tracing
• Vessels and tanks
