Insulated tubing bundles

Electric and steam traced, pre-insulated bundled tubing provides process fluid freeze protection and temperature maintenance versus field traced and insulated tubing systems. Electric traced bundled tubing features a self-regulating electric tracer and maintains process temperatures up to 250 degrees F. Light steam bundles provide freeze protection between 50 degrees F and 200 degrees F. In heavy steam bundles, the process tube is in direct contact with the tracer to maintain temperatures from 200 degrees F to 400 degrees F.
