Chromalox SRM/E self-regulating heating
cable provides safe, reliable heat tracing for
process temperature maintenance and freeze
protection of pipes, valves, tanks and similar
applications. Constructed of industrial grade
16 AWG buss wire with metal braid and optional
overjacketing, SRM/E ensures operating
integrity in most hostile industrial environments.
The 420°F (215°C) maximum exposure
temperature rating allows steam cleaning of
process equipment with up to 300 psig steam.
WARNING — A ground fault protection device
is required by NEC to minimize the danger of
fire if the heating cable is damaged or improperly
installed. A minimum trip level of 30mA is
recommended to minimize nuisance tripping.
Features
- Energy efficient, self-regulating SRM/E uses
less energy when less heat is required.
- Easy to install, SRM/E can be cut to any
length (up to max. circuit length) in the field.
- Field splices can be performed easily in minutes
with no scrap or wasted cold sections.
- With lower installed cost than steam tracing,
SRM/E features less maintenance expense
and downtime.
- SRM/E can be overlapped without burnout,
which simplifies heat tracing of in-line process
equipment such as valves, elbows and
pumps.
- Because SRM/E is self-regulating, overtemperature
conditions are minimized.
- Chromalox termination, splice, tee and end
seal kits reduce installation time.
- Freeze Protection
- Freeze Protection, High Exposure Temperature
- Process Maintenance, Low Temperature
- Process Maintenance, High Temperature

This is a recommendation guide. Chromalox cannot warrant any Electric Heat Trace against failure by sheath degradation if such failure
is the result of operating conditions beyond the control of the heater manufacturer. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to make the
ultimate choice of sheath material based on knowledge of the chemical composition of the corrosive solution, character of materials
entering the solution, and controls which maintains the process.
