Which cable is used at high-temperature

ALBURNETT, Ala. - Aug. 14, 2024 - PRLog -- In many industrial applications, cables need to be able to operate safely and reliably at higher temperatures. This may include high-temperature environments such as chemical plants, metallurgical plants, power stations, and so on. In these environments, ordinary cables may not be able to withstand such harsh temperature conditions. Therefore, it is essential to choose the right type of cable.

Characteristics of high-temperature resistant cables (https://www.lszh-cables.com/product-category/high-temperature-cable/)：

The following features usually characterize high-temperature-resistant cables.

Insulation: High-temperature-resistant cables use unique insulation materials such as silicone rubber, polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE), or inorganic materials. These materials can maintain good insulation properties at high temperatures.

Conductor materials: High-temperature cables usually use copper or nickel alloy conductors to improve the conductor's high-temperature resistance.

Sheath Material: The outer sheath is made of special high-temperature plastic, metal, or ceramic materials to improve the overall high-temperature resistance of the cable.

Structural design: High-temperature-resistant cables are usually designed with double or multi-layer structures to improve mechanical strength and weather resistance.

Common Types of High-Temperature Cables：

Silicone Rubber Cables: Silicone rubber is used as an insulating material, and it can work in temperatures ranging from 50 °C to 250 °C.It is widely used in metallurgy, power plants, and other industries, as well as on high-temperature occasions.

PTFE cable: Using polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE)as an insulating material can maintain good insulation properties at temperatures ranging from 200 °C to 260°C.It is commonly used in aerospace, chemical, and other fields and widely used in aerospace, chemical, and other fields.

Ceramic cable: Using ceramic material as insulation and sheath, it can work at temperatures up to 800°C and is suitable for highly high-temperature environments. They are mainly used in kilns, metallurgy, and other fields.

When choosing high-temperature resistant cables, in addition to considering the operating temperature range, you also need to take into account other factors, such as mechanical strength, chemical resistance, flexibility, etc., to ensure that the cable can operate safely and reliably in high-temperature environments.
