Freeze protection or process temperature maintenance with a
tube temperature range: 40°F (5°C) to 400°F (205°C). Designed to
provide freeze protection or temperature maintenance for metallic
and non-metallic tubing with “heavy” steam trace, TubeTrace
Type SP/MP is suitable for use with process analyzers, emissions
analyzers, and impulse lines to flow or pressure transmitters
where steam or hot liquid is the preferred heating media.
TubeTrace Type SP/MP “heavy” steam trace is a metallic tracer
tube that is in direct contact with the process tube(s). The
tracer tube and process tube(s) are cabled together thereby
mechanically binding the tubes. This ensures consistent heat
transfer and performance along the entire length by preventing
separation or tube migration within the bundle.
Unlike field fabricated and insulated tubing, TubeTrace
engineered pre-insulated tubing provides superior weather
proofing and long term reliability.
