Do You Want To Protect Cables? Embrace Heat Shrink Tubes

Cabling work in industrial setups having harsh environments needs extra protection for long-term fault-free performance. Heat shrink tubes and corrosion protection tubes made of polyolefin to give a 2:1 or 3:1 shrink ratio protect the cables in extremely harsh industrial environments having the presence of chemicals, moisture, gases, high temperatures, etc. Selecting the right tubing size is crucial. Sizes of heat shrink sleeves/tubes are denoted as a ratio of expanded size; for example, a tubing with 3:1 shrink ratio shrinks to 1/3 of its original diameter; similarly, 2:1 ratio means the tubing will shrink to half the size of its original diameter when supplied.

How to Use Heat Shrink Tubes, Cable Joints & Cable Repair Sleeves

  • Measure the wire diameter.
  • Choose a heat shrink tube of appropriate size with focus on internal diameter and post-heated size. It should be loose fit at pre-heat and snug fit once heated post heating. Pro-tip: The shrunken sleeve diameter should be slightly smaller than the cables diameter.
  • Measure the length of heat-shrink tubing. It should be slightly longer than the concerned section of cable. Most heat-shrink sleeves shrink longitudinally also around 5-15%.
  • Cut the tube to get appropriate length.
  • Slide the tube onto the wire to cover the exposed/ damaged section
  • Use a heat gun to shrink the tube and heat the tube until it tightly secures the wire
