I need direction to locate a conduit fill chart for SA cable? I need to run a wire inside the sauna and I am planning to use High temperature liquid seal flexible conduit.

It's a silicone cable 310.15(B)(18). I don't know of any table in annex C that includes it.
 
I would treat the cable as one conductor. Calculate your fill at 53% and contact the cable manufacturer to obtain its approx. area in sq. in.
 
I am planning to use this cable because the rating is 200* C and it is going in to feed the sauna.
The typical temp inside the sauna is over 90* C so I am getting the seal tight that rated over 90* and this is the only high temp wire that I can get.
Am I thinking correctly or I am missing something?

What kind of sauna has an operating temperature over 90° C?
 
HUUM is the manufacture name and they are claiming that the temperature inside the room can reach 180 and above.

90° C = 194° F so it should be okay. Are you actually running the wires inside of the sauna?
 
That sounds like an over rather than a sauna. I have read you can slow roast a turkey at 80 C.

Yes it looks like a cocoon filled with stones in the corner of the room and the space about 3’ to the closest wall. I am afraid that the liquid tight will not handle the temperature
so the #8 thhn with the temperature correction is about 40 Amp?correct
