EMTF Constant Wattage Heating Cables – Tmax 200 °C
Our MicroTracer EMTF constant wattage heating cable is designed for freeze protection and temperature maintenance of pipes and tanks.
The maximum exposure temperature is 200 °C, with sustained operation possible up to 190 °C depending on the cable power rating.
The EMTF heating cable is particularly suitable for refrigeration applications, small instrument pipes, or piping installations in non-hazardous areas.
It can be cut to length on site to match exact pipe lengths, without requiring complex design considerations.
*The constant wattage heating cable is equipped with a fluoropolymer outer jacket (EMTF-CF), providing exceptional corrosion resistance.
This constant wattage heating cable complies with current European Union (CE) standards.

The MicroTracer (EMTF) heating cable is ideal for process pipe heating, refrigeration, as well as small instrument or analytical lines in non-hazardous areas.
Application Example:
In industrial settings, tanks and reservoirs must maintain products at the correct temperature to ensure quality and continuous operation.
Problem Example:
Insulation alone is insufficient: tanks lose heat through conduction (walls and fittings), convection (air movement, wind), and radiation (especially above 100 °C). These losses cause gradual cooling of the product and can lead to potential process malfunctions.
The Solution – EMTF
The EMTF constant wattage heating cable effectively compensates for these thermal losses. Easy to install and cut to length on site, it provides uniform heat distribution and ensures reliable temperature maintenance of stored fluids, even under demanding industrial conditions.
Constant Wattage Heating Cables – MicroTracer EMTF are used in the following sectors:
-Chemical & Petrochemical
-Pharmaceutical
-Water Treatment and Laboratories
-Construction Sites and Commercial Buildings
-Industrial Refrigeration Installations
-Machinery Manufacturers
-Food & Beverage Industry
-General Industry
