IntroductionCompared to bare tubing that is field traced andinsulated, prefabricated tube bundles:

Expedite installation

Reduce installed cost Ensure long term reliability and safety of the

entire system

Consistency and qualityare a prerequisite in allThermon manufacturingprocesses. Thermon or-ganizations throughoutthe world operate to theISO9001 standards.

With Thermons QuickShipprogram, most common

bundles with stainless steel, copper, and fluoropolymertubing will ship in 3 to 5 business days.

ExperienceComplete heat tracing systems must includeinstrument line heating. Thermon tube bundles arereliable, cost-effective products for heated and/orinsulated tubing.

Thermon has earned the reputation as . . .The Heat Tracing Specialists, supplying both electricand steam heat tracing solutions since 1954.

Better SolutionsThe heart of any electrically heated tubing bundle isthe heat trace. Thermon manufactures every typeof resistance heat tracing available today. Oursole-source responsibility for overall performance,especially in electrically classified hazardous areas,cannot be matched. Whatever the application freeze

complete line of productsprovides superior heat tracingsolutions.

IndustriesMany times tubing requires heat trace and insula-tion. Pre-insulated tubing is the most reliable, con-sistent, and cost-effective way to accomplish this.

Industries relying on instrument tubing bundles include: Oil and Gas Production Refineries Chemical plants Pharmaceutical Power GenerationPulp and paper

THERMON . . . Globally Recognized as The Heat Tracing Specialists

Tubing OptionsThermons flexible manufacturing

process can include any tubingmaterial:

316 and 304 stainless, weldedor seamless

EP (Electropolished)

CP (Chemical passivation)

SilcoSteel *, SilcoNert * & Sulfinert * finishes

Monel

Titanium

Inconel 825, and Alloy 20 are readily available

Fluoropolymer tubing, PFA, TFE and FEP. Double containment tubing or multiple tube materials

can be provided in a common bundle.

Nylon, polyethylene, and most any other tubing materialavailable.

* SilcoSteel and Sulfinert are tradenames of Restek Corp.SilcoNert is a tradename of SilcoTek.

Polymer JacketsThe need for protecting the thermal insulation and other compo-nents is accomplished with a continuous extruded polymer jacket.

Standard jacket material is ATP (Arctic Thermoplastic), with anoptional TPU (polyurethane) material available.

Design ToolsCompuTrace-IT is an invaluabletool for projects that requiresteam and/or electrical heatingfor instrument tubing. ThermonsTubeTrace pre-insulated and heattraced tubing can easily be de-signed to include terminations and

accessories for most applications. The user can create systems withhazardous area approvals with any one of five globally recognizedstandards. For steam heating applications CompuTrace-IT candesign systems for light or heavy steam tracing.

Note . . .

1. Standard products are approved for Division 2 and Zone 1 & Zone 2 hazardous (classified)areas. Division 1 approved designs are also available.

2. Reflects maximum exposure temperature of heater.

Small diameter lines are heated for many rea-sons including freeze protection (winterization),reduced viscosity, and keeping gas samplesabove their dew point. These can be critical for

process accuracy, emissions compliance, andeven plant operation.

Steam and electrically traced instrument tubingbundles represent lower installed costs andincreased reliability for flow, level and pressuretransmitters (as examples).

Sample Transport Bundles/Umbilicalsfor CEMS and Analyzer Service

Custom CEMS and Analyzer BundlesMost countries require industrial furnaces and boilers to have emissionsmonitoring systems to verify proper operation of pollution controls. Extractivegas analyzers require that the gas sample

be kept above its dew point to remaina vapor from the probe to the analyzer,sometimes significant distances. Similarly,process analyzer lines require heating tomeasure process gas streams above theirdew point.

Electrically Heated TubeTrace:

Approved for hazardous (classified)locations, including options for Class I,Division 1.

HPT power-limiting heat trace representsthe best choice for maintaining tempera-tures above 300F (149C) that can be "cut-to-length" in the field.

To accurately sense temperatures in multiple locations, consider factoryinstalled RTD, Thermocouple, or Thermistor temperature sensors.

Non-Heated ThermoTubeand "NI" Non-Insulated Bundlesalso available for analytical applications.

Tube Bundle options can also include:

Auxiliary conductors for probe heaters Un-heated tubes for blowback and calibration gas.

Special markings and identification, as required.

Steam or Fluid Light TracedFor freeze protection and lower temperature mainte-nance. The tracer tube is isolated from the process

tube(s), so process tube temperatures will be signifi-cantly lower than the tracer tube temperature.

Tube Temperature Range:40F (5C) to 250F (121C)Maximum Tube Exposure*:400F (205C)

Steam or Fluid Heavy TracedFor freeze protection and process maintenance.The tracer tube is in direct contact with the process

tube(s), so process tube temperatures will be veryclose to the tracer tube temperature.
