OBSOLETE: CH - Constant Wattage Temptrace™ for High Temperature Maintenance

This product is no longer available from Parker. Contact us to find an alternative solution for your application.

Parflex® Multitube® CH - Constant Wattage Temptrace™ tubing is intended for process temperature maintenance from 160°F (71°C), at -40°F (-40°C) ambient temperatures, to 400°F (204°C), at 80°F (26.7°C) ambient in various applications, such as analyzer, impulse and instrument lines, small diameter process lines, stack gas sampling lines and utility lines. The electric trace tubing consists of a process tube, or tubes, traced with a constant wattage heating cable, an aluminum heat transfer foil wrap, non-hygroscopic fiberglass insulation and a black, 105°C-rated, flame-resistant PVC (FR-PVC) jacket. CH-Temptrace™ is manufactured with thermal insulation, which provides minimum heat loss, and aluminum heat transfer foil to allow for even heat distribution for precise temperature control.
For trouble-free tubing identification, individual tubes are either printed with a tube number at two-inch intervals or color coded when process tubes are the same size and material. For ordering information and detailed specifications, refer to the literature listed on the Product Support tab.

Markets:  
• Process Control & Analyzer Systems

Features/Benefits:
• Aluminum heat transfer foil allows for even heat distribution for precise temperature control
• Air-spaced, cross wrapped applied non-hygroscopic fiberglass thermal insulation provides minimum heat loss
• Standard black, 105°C-rated, flame-resistant PVC (FR-PVC) jacket protects the tubing against corrosive atmospheres, water, oils, acids, alkalies and most chemicals
• Product series is highly customizable – multiple options are available for tubing materials, tubing sizes, wall thicknesses, heating cable voltage and heat output, cover material and color
• When process tubes are the same size and material, individual tubes are either printed with a tube number at two-inch intervals or tubes are color coded to promote simple tubing identification

Applications:
• Analyzer, impulse and instrument lines
• Small diameter process lines
• Stack gas sampling lines
• Utility lines


Technical Specifications:
• Standard Tubing Material: Type 122 DHP Seamless Copper, 316/316L Welded and Seamless Stainless Steel, FEP, PFA and PTFE
• Insulation: Non-hygroscopic fiberglass
• Cover: FR-PVC
• Additional jacket materials and special wall thicknesses available upon request
• Each tube in every length of Parflex Temptrace™ is pressure tested prior to shipment to assure the instrument engineer a high quality, reliable, trouble-free product
• Standard product has a Maximum Temperature Rating (MTR) of 400°F (204.4°C) when power to the heating cable is on
        o Maximum Temperature Rating is the maximum allowable temperature of the tracing fluid; temperatures in excess of this may damage the product or alter its performance
• Accessories are available for electrical connections, bundle splicing and end terminations

NOTE: It is absolutely necessary to seal the ends against contamination from moisture and/or corrosive liquids. Parker Hannifin cannot assume liability for product damage caused by moisture from unsealed ends.
