TUBING
[Top of Page]

Polyethylene - flexible polyethylene tubing is extruded from high molecular weight resin for increased dimensional stability, uniformity and long-term strength. Its resistance to environmental stress cracking greatly exceeds that of ordinary polyethylene tubing as measured by ASTM-D 1693.

Polypropylene - may be used at higher temperatures and working pressures than polyethylene tubing. Resistance to hot water and hot corrosive acids is excellent.

Nylon - flexible nylon tubing is carefully made from high-grade, abrasion-resistant, heat and light stabilized nylon. Resistance to stress-cracking, greatly exceeds that or ordinary nylon tubing. Extremely low level water absorption.

Polyurethane - It occupies a unique position among polymers, sharing the best properties of both rubber and plastic. The tubing is tough, strong, kink/abrasion resistant, yet flexible and easy to assemble.

Fluoropolymer- in FEP, PFA, PFA-HP, and TEFZEL^® resins - is designed for a wide range of high purity and corrosive resistant applications. The non-stick characteristics of Fluoropolymer resins, combined with their low extractable levels and chemically inert nature, make this tubing ideal for aerospace, automotive, electronics, food & beverage, medical, pharmaceutical, and chemical processing applications.

MULTITUBE^® TUBING
[Top of Page]

Single Line Metal - plastic coated single line metal tubing contains a tube of copper or 316L stainless steel-cover jacket of corrosion-resistant PVC or polyethylene.

Multitube^®-Metal - Multitube^® Instrumentation & Control tubing metal bundles feature multiple copper or stainless steel tubes used for transmission of pneumatic signals, other gases, or liquids. Each individual tube is printed with tube number at two-inch intervals.

Multitube^®-Plastic - features multiple thermoplastic tubes: Nylon, TFE, polyethylene, fire resistant polyethylene, and high-density polyethylene instrument tubing. Used for the transmission of pneumatic signals to monitor or control process.

Multitube^®-Armored Plastic - designed where corrosion resistance and excellent mechanical protection for the tubing is required in transit, in storage and during and after installation. Instrument tubing is used for the transmission of pneumatic signals to monitor or control process.

Temptube^®/CR Tube -consists of a single tube thermally insulated with a non- hygroscopic glass fiber insulation and PVC jacket overall. Designed to provide an economical and highly efficient method of conveying steam, cooling water, or cryogenic fluid such as liquid nitrogen.

Temptrace^®-Heavy Steam Trace - consists of single or double process tube(s), direct tracer, non-hygroscopic insulation and PVC jacket overall. Applications include pressure transmission and analyzer sample lines carrying heavy distillates, gasses, or vapors.

Temptrace^®-Light Steam Trace - consists of single or double process tube(s), isolated tracer, non-hygroscopic insulation and PVC jacket overall. Ideal for simple instrument line freeze protection and viscosity maintenance applications.

Temptrace^®-Self Regulating - consists of single or double process tube(s) traced with self regulating heating cable, heat transfer foil wrap, non-hygroscopic glass fiber insulation and 105° C black PVC jacket overall. Applications include analyzer, impulse and instrument lines, small diameter process lines, stack gas sampling line, and utility lines.

Temptrace^® Constant Wattage - consists of single or double process tube(s) traced with constant wattage heated cable, heat transfer foil wrap, non-hygroscopic glass fiber insulation and 105° C black PVC jacket overall. Applications include analyzer, impulse and instrument lines, small diameter process lines, stack gas sampling lines, and utility lines.

Mineral Insulated Electric Trace Tubing - cut-to-length parallel resistance MI Trace electric trace tubing consists of single or double process tube(s) electrically traced with MI heating cable, heat transfer foil wrap, non-hygroscopic glass fiber insulation, and 105° C black PVC jacket overall. Excellent for applications above 400°F.

Temptrace^™ Analyzer- features Teflon tubing which is electrically traced with either a self regulating, constant wattage, or MI cable. Ideal for CEM systems that monitor pollutants such as NOx, SO₂, hydrocarbons, CO, CO₂, O₂, and NH₃. Stacktrace assures that gas stream temperatures are monitored above the dew point, and conducts calibration gas for sample train/analyzer calibration.
