FailSafe Super (FSS)
FailSafe Super is an industrial grade self-regulating heating cable that can be used for freeze protection or temperature maintenance of pipework and vessels up to 225°C. It can be cut-to-length on site to match exact piping lengths without any complicated design considerations.
FailSafe Super is approved for use in non-hazardous, and hazardous areas to worldwide standards. Its self-regulating characteristics improve safety and reliability.
FailSafe Super will not overheat or burnout, even when overlapped upon itself. Its power output self-regulates in response to the pipe temperature.
Example of Applications
- Freeze protection of pipework & vessels
- Process temperature maintenance
Benefits
- Can be cut to length
- Output self-regulates in response to pipe temperature
- High outputs to 75W/m at 10ºC
- Inherently Temperature Safe
FailSafe Super is available with a corrosion resistant fluoropolymer outer jacket (FSS-CF).
The installation of FailSafe Super is quick and simple and requires no special skills or tools. Termination, splicing and power connection components are all provided in convenient kits.
