Parker LT Temptrace™ Light Steam Trace Tubing consists of single or multiple process tubes insulated from a single tracer with non-hygroscopic glass fiber insulation and a black, 105°C rated, flame-resistant PVC (FR-PVC) jacket. The LT Temptrace™ permits use of high pressure steam to heat trace instrument lines carrying water, light oil, paraffin, paraffin-based fluids and temperature-sensitive chemicals. The tough, flame-resistant PVC jacket protects the tubing against corrosive atmospheres, water, oils, acids, alkalies and most chemicals, allowing it to operate successfully under a variety of conditions. The LT Temptrace™ is ideal for simple instrument line freeze protection and viscosity maintenance applications. For order information and specific operating parameters, please review the literature listed under the Product Support tab.
Markets:
• Chemical Processing and Refineries
Features:
• Black, flame-resistant PVC jacket to protect tubing against corrosive atmospheres, water, oils, acids, alkalies and most chemicals
• Air-spaced, cross wrapped applied non-hygroscopic fiberglass thermal insulation for minimum heat loss
• The insulated tracer provides a more constant process tube temperature over long tubing runs
• Accessories are available for connecting multiple lengths of steam trace bundles and sealing bundle ends
• Utilizes saturated steam pressures up to 230 PSIG and 400°F to maintain process tube temperatures of 200°F or less
Applications:
• Instrument lines carrying water, light oil, paraffin, paraffin-based fluids and temperature-sensitive chemicals
• Simple instrument line freeze protection
• Viscosity maintenance
Technical Specifications:
• Standard product has a Maximum Temperature Rating (MTR) of 400°F (204.4°C). Higher temperature designs are available – consult the division for details. MTR is the maximum allowable temperature of the tracing fluid; temperatures in excess of this may damage the product or alter its performance
NOTE: It is absolutely necessary to seal the ends against contamination from moisture and/or corrosive liquids; Parker Hannifin cannot assume any liability for product damage caused by moisture from unsealed ends.
