T/CES 211-2023 Series-type electric heat tape

Scope

Scope: This document specifies the classification, product structure, technical requirements, test methods, inspection rules, marking, packaging, transportation, and storage of series-connected electric heating tapes. This document is applicable to three-phase series-connected electric heating tapes with a rated voltage of 220V/380V and copper wires as heating elements, operating at a frequency of 50Hz or 60Hz. Main technical content: Electric heating is an emerging heating technology that replaces traditional steam heating. It has been adopted by domestic design institutes and users due to its advantages of energy saving, consumption reduction, environmental protection, and self-control. Among various heating forms, electric heating has become the first choice. Currently, domestic enterprises have successfully developed a series of electric heating products, including parallel electric heating tapes, series-connected electric heating tapes, self-limiting temperature electric heating tapes, temperature controllers, electric heating tape junction boxes, and circulating explosion-proof electric heaters. There are at least hundreds of production enterprises, with an annual sales volume conservatively estimated at tens of millions of meters. This alone saves the country billions of dollars in foreign exchange every year (the original U.S. imported electric heating tapes cost $45 per meter). In addition to saving transportation costs and being environmentally friendly, the localization of electric heating systems is a truly beneficial move for the country and people. However, there are still some problems. The product quality of electric heating enterprises varies greatly, and some inferior products have damaged the reputation of electric heating and restricted its widespread use and globalization. The reason for this is that, except for "self-limiting temperature electric heating tapes" which have national standards, there are no corresponding national standards for oth
