Let’s get into it.

First let’s talk about what heat tape is and how you can use it to save your pipes or help your process. BriskHeat Heat Tape is a multi-stranded resistance wire that is ribbon shaped. This makes our “heat tape” more flexible than most heating cable or tapes. Both the MSTAT and HSTAT are covered with extremely flexible silicone rubber to help protect them from moisture and chemicals. An adjustable dial is used for temperature control.

BriskHeat self-regulating heating cable is used widely across Canada and the United States for freeze protection. An advantage of using self-regulating cable for heat tracing is that it is designed to heat when environmental temperatures turn cold and stop heating when it reaches its maximum temperature. When temperatures drop below 0°C (32°F), water lines outdoors, in unheated buildings or along uninsulated exterior walls can freeze quickly. Even a small pipe burst can cause thousands of dollars of damage to homes in a matter of days. Damage to businesses can be substantially more.

LYNX^TM Provides Individual PID Temperature Control For Each Heater In A System

BriskHeat has launched its new LYNX™ Temperature Control System, a state-of-the-art PID temperature control system which controls up to 1,024 zones. The LYNX^TM is a modular system designed for manufacturers in a wide range of industries, including semiconductor, laboratory, research and development facilities, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, composite curing, petrochemical, and process heating and drying.

Our XtremeFlex heating tape is very versatile due to its superior flexibility. Though it is versatile, there can still be failures and hotspots if not properly installed.

The purpose of this short video is to help you avoid failures and hot spots in your silicone rubber heating tape.
