products & developments Pre-insulated, steam- and electric-traced

process tubing Chromalox, a manufacturer of electric heat and control products, has introduced jacketed process tubing bundles consisting of insulation, steam tracing, or electric heat tracing. The tubing bundles are available with copper, stainless, high alloy or fluoropolymer process tubing, as well as a wide variety of insulation and jacket materials. Traced bundles incorporate steam tubing or electric heat trace with choice of self-regulating or constant wattage heating elements. The tubing bundles are typically used to protect viscous materials from freezing, to avoid gas condensation, and to improve employee safety. They also maintain process temperatures and protect instrument sampling and impulse lines. Bundles may include single or multiple process tubes suited for use in heat trace systems in industries such as chemicals, plastics, power generation, oil and gas, pulp and paper, pharmaceutical, food production, and water and wastewater.

HTM to 2266 HTM Series, similar to the LTM series, except the process tubing may be cleaned with steam or purged with hot gas (high temperature maintenance). Chromalox manufactures a wide range of electric heat and control products, including heating components, immersion heaters, circulation systems, heat transfer systems, boilers, industrial and comfort air heating, heat trace cables, sensors and precision electronic controls. The company is headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, and has multiple manufacturing, engineering, warehousing and sales locations throughout North America, Europe and Asia.

tube bundles simplify installation and reduce costs by up to 40 per cent compared to field fabrication. They also offer consistent performance and high quality to ensure safe operations. “The electrically traced bundles integrate seamlessly with our intelliTrace control panels,” said Mr Myers. “They can also contain integral electric power and sensor wires that are pre-approved for use in hazardous locations.” The new tubing bundle offerings include: 2200 Series pre-insulated single process tube suitable for steam, gas or liquid; 2210 Series pre-insulated single process tube suitable for steam, gas or liquid at higher process temperatures than the 2200 series; 2211 to 2213 Series single and multiple process tubes with a single steam trace for high temperature applications; 2252 CPD to 2262 CPD Series single or multiple process tubes traced with a constant wattage heating element braided with tinned copper and wrapped in reflective foil; 2256 LTM to 2266 LTM Series single or multiple process tubes traced with self-regulating electric heating elements braided with tinned copper and wrapped in reflective foil; and 2256

Plastic pipe stands Proline’s plastic pipe stands are used to hold pipes and tubes. The benefit of these stands are their stability, multi-sized range capacity, light weight, and easy of handling. The products are made from a UV-stabilised HDPE with an approximate UV life span of 6.5 years. The white colour, along with more HDPE material added at the time of manufacturing, makes for a higher heat resistant product up to 45°C (113°F) ambient temperature. The standard yellow pipe stands can be used in more temperate climates not exceeding ambient temperatures of 40°C or 98°F. Each pipe stand is contoured for greater support and protection of pipes and tubes. The stands are available in three sizes: 2" to 8"; 8" to 12"; and 12" to 24". The stands have been thoroughly tested and have maximum working load capacities. They are completely recyclable at the end of their useable life, and older stands can be tested at different intervals to be culled from old stock.
