Product Information

Mineral Insulated Cable (MAL)

Stockcode:

The MAL range of alloy 825 sheathed Mineral Insulated (MI) heating cable has been developed to meet the specific need for a cable having a high temperature capability and electrical resistance values needed for long circuit lengths. To meet the requirement, Heat Trace has combined an alloy 825 sheath with heating conductors to enable an operating temperature of 800ºC with resistance values from 2.1Ω/km up to 36100Ω/km per conductor. MI cables have excellent mechanical strength and are intrinsically very resistant to corrosion. They are series resistance heaters which must be designed to provide the required heat output.

About us

Heat Trace Ltd produces the most technologically advanced electric heat tracing equipment globally.

Founded in 1974, Heat Trace Ltd is now a top global supplier of electric heat tracing equipment for process temperature maintenance and freeze protection.

With offices, distributors, and representatives in more than 50 countries, we offer a range of complementary products and services alongside our heat tracing solutions.

Our Products Include:
 
Self-Regulating Heating Cables
Since their launch in 1971, self-regulating heating cables (also known as self-limiting heating cables) have become the most widely used type of electric heat tracing cable globally. Heat Trace is the only UK manufacturer of self-regulating heating cables and among a select few worldwide. We are recognized as leaders in heating cable polymer technology, offering a range of self-regulating heaters that outperform other products on the market.
 
Constant Wattage Heating Cables
We have been manufacturing constant power heating cables for over 40 years and introduced the world's first parallel resistance cut-to-length heating cable in 1978. As the name implies, Constant Wattage heating cables are designed to provide a consistent power output regardless of the pipe temperature.

Longline Heating Cables
For extensive pipelines, parallel heating technology can be expensive due to the extensive electrical distribution systems needed. However, our Longline range of heater cables allows for long circuit lengths, typically requiring electric supply points only at multi-kilometre intervals for 3-phase cables. This significantly reduces the number of power points needed, resulting in considerable CAPEX savings.

Mineral Insulated (MI) Cables
Mineral Insulated Cable is recognised as the most durable electric heat trace cable available. It is the best option when the temperature and power output requirements of an application surpass what our self-regulating and constant wattage cables can provide.

… And more.
 
When Neil Malone founded Heat Trace in 1974, electric heat tracing was still in its early stages. Over the past four decades, it has evolved into a substantial industry built on quality principles.

During this period, Heat Trace Limited has been a leader in the heat tracing industry, actively contributing to the development of standards, starting with BS6351 - Electric Surface Heating, the first British standard published in 1982, and continuing with IEC60079/30 – a harmonised World Standard introduced in 2001.

From the beginning, Heat Trace created products and systems that not only complied with new standards but also aligned with the company’s goals of enhancement.
