The heat trace cable ranges stocked and supplied by Thorne & Derrick International includes electric heating cables for process temperature maintenance, pipe and vessel freeze protection and roof and gutter de-icing applications where snow and ice removal is required – cables and systems are available for commercial, industrial safe area (non-hazardous area) and hazardous area heating applications with ATEX certification.
Electric heat tracing is a cable based system used to maintain, raise temperature and protect process pipework and vessels against freezing temperatures and associated frost damage – heat tracing cables mitigate and counteract cold weather effects as part of a Winterization strategy for industrial and process applications against low (sub-zero) ambient temperatures on both onshore and offshore locations.
Heat tracing systems utilising self-regulating, constant wattage and mineral insulated (MI) heating cables are available to provide the optimum electrical heating system for your application – we provide a trace heating system design service.

Many polymeric cable manufacturers claim the polymers they use for insulation and jackets are low smoke. They often justify this by claiming compliance to tests like BS EN 61034.
These smoke obscuration tests are dependent on a specific sample weight of cable burned in a specific room / air volume. These results are not predictive end use simulations.
Smoke generation can be greater on high heating before flame and smoke volume is directly related to the amount of material burnt.
PVC gives off more smoke in flame but PE / XLPE (polyethylene) gives of more smoke on heating without flame extremely costly! Plasticized UPVC is used to make general electric cable.
In flaming and none flaming mode both feature high smoke outputs, indeed very bad as a fire proof cable…
FP200 & FP600 use polyethylene – In a direct flame yes it shows as low smoke generation factor…. But under overload, short circuit or internal heat for any reason… 590DM is a lot of smoke!
It doesn’t take an actual fire to cause an emergency evacuation, smoke with no fire is more common and extremely costly!
| Material | Thickness (mm) | Maximum Specific Optical Density (DM) Non Flaming | Flaming |
| UPVC | 3 | 400 | 580 |
| Polyethylene | 3 | 590 | 83 |
| FR Polyethylene | 3 | 790 | 780 |
| Polypropylene | 3 | 550 | 162 |
| FR Polypropylene | 3 | 820 | 600 |
| Polystyrene | 3 | 476 | 960 |
| PMMA | 3 | 63 | 117 |
| Plasticised PVC | 0.75 | 430 | 650 |
The duration and the maximum temperature of a fire in a building depends on several factors including the amount and configuration of available combustibles (including all electric cables), ventilation conditions, properties of the internal enclosures, weather conditions, etc.
In common circumstances, the maximum temperature of a fully developed building fire will rarely exceed 1000°C
Cables which emit NO smoke will provide significantly improved evacuation speed and aid saving more lives!
Cables with NO calorific value which have a ZERO heat of combustion per Kg will eat NO oxygen and generate NO heat will aid saving more lives!
Cables with NO organic content, NO calorific values and Halogen Free will generate NO toxic or irritant gasses at all including Carbon Monoxide WILL aid saving more lives! (Statistically CO is responsible for >90% of toxicity deaths in fires)
Soft skin fire resistant cables are not bad cables… They just don’t give the performance they claim to.
We need to review the application and understand the limits of the current standards, this will allow the right product to be specified for the right application…
The heat trace cable ranges stocked and supplied by Thorne & Derrick International includes electric heating cables for process temperature maintenance, pipe and vessel freeze protection and roof and gutter de-icing applications where snow and ice removal is required – cables and systems are available for commercial, industrial safe area (non-hazardous area) and hazardous area heating applications with ATEX certification.
Electric heat tracing is a cable based system used to maintain, raise temperature and protect process pipework and vessels against freezing temperatures and associated frost damage – heat tracing cables mitigate and counteract cold weather effects as part of a Winterization strategy for industrial and process applications against low (sub-zero) ambient temperatures on both onshore and offshore locations.
Heat tracing systems utilising self-regulating, constant wattage and mineral insulated (MI) heating cables are available to provide the optimum electrical heating system for your application – we provide a trace heating system design service.
