Tubing Encapsulated Cable

Tubing Encapsulated Cable Construction

Conductor Layer	can be comprised of 20 AWG to 12 AWG, solid or stranded, bare copper, tinned copper, nickel plated copper, or silver plated copper.
Insulation Layer	can be comprised of either FEP, PFA, ETFE, or ECTFE.
Extruded Filler Layer	can be comprised of PFA, FEP, or Polypropylene.
Armor Layer	can comprised of 316L Stainless Steel, Alloy 825, or Alloy 625
Final Layer	an encapsulation layer can be comprised of FEP, PFA, ETFE, ECTFE, TPV,PVDF or Polypropylene.

Tubing Encapsulated Cable Application

Tubing Encapsulated Cable is commonly used in industries such as oil and gas production, oil well monitoring, power supply for downhole equipment and instrumentation, and pressure sensing equipment. Here are the lists.
