ENCLOSURES PRODUCTS CUSTOMISATION PREVENTS FREEZING PIPES
Trace heating is essential to preventing costly and potentially dangerous frost damage to pipes during the winter months. Even in the UK, known for its temperamental and unpredictable weather patterns, most winters we experience prolonged periods of cold weather which can freeze even fast flowing water pipes. Thermocable is a manufacturer of trace heating monitoring equipment which is designed to make sure trace heating systems are working when they are most needed. It has specified Spelsberg enclosures to guarantee protection no matter what Mother Nature throws at us. Installing trace heating can save a business
thousands of pounds in potential down-time and costly repair bills. It can also save lives when
AVOIDING THE DRIP DRIP DRIP OF FAILURE
installed on a sprinkler system or other safety critical applications. However, without constant monitoring, it’s impossible to be sure that the system will activate when called upon. Thermocable has developed a range of trace heating monitoring systems which will provide 24/7 monitoring, as well as offering additional protection in the event of a failure or period of extremely low temperatures. Depending on your requirements the ProMinder
Standard or Advance provides constant monitoring of pipes so businesses can accurately maintain temperatures critical to their specific industry process. Thermocable approached Spelsberg UK to see if it was able to offer a solution. Spelsberg
suggested its TK range of polycarbonate enclosures with customised entry options. Spelsberg was also able to provide the overlay design for the products, supplying the enclosures prepared and ready for assembly.

Huge numbers of enclosures, barriers and insulants simply don't work properly when it comes to water vapour. They may be fine with liquid water but they can be virtually useless when applied to the more common problem of excluding the moisture that’s omnipresent in the air, which seeps in but can’t seep out again. This can result in catastrophic failure. Versaperm now offers a series of
efficient ways to test (and measure) this problem in ‘real world’ examples - such as with finished products, components and insulation materials. The result is that some material results, that represent years of use in the field, can be gained in as little as 30 minutes. The Versaperm instrument was
purpose designed for this task and gives results that are accurate in the parts per million range for most samples and vapours. It can cope with several material samples, seals or enclosures at a time. Optionally the system can also work
with most other gasses including hydrocarbons, solvents, CO2
and virtually
all other common gasses and vapours. The equipment is also useful for electronics systems in a marine environment. Versaperm also offers a laboratory service for companies that only need to test samples for permeability on an irregular basis.
