OBSOLETE: Multitube® Mineral Insulated Electric Trace Tubing for High Temperature Maintenance

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

Parflex Mineral Insulated Electric Trace Tubing is specifically designed to maintain temperatures as high as 900°F (482°C) and withstand a maximum internal exposure of 1000°F (538°C) for 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 single process tube which is electrically traced with a series resistance, mineral-insulated heating cable, a heat transfer foil wrap, non-hygroscopic glass fiber insulation, and a black, 105°C-rated, flame-resistant PVC (FR-PVC) jacket. This protective jacket safeguards the tubing against corrosive atmospheres, water, oil, acids, alkalies and most chemicals. The tubing is manufactured with a thermal insulation and an aluminum heat transfer foil to allow for minimum heat loss and even heat distribution for precise temperature control. For more information regarding tolerable temperature ranges and order details for Mineral Insulated Electric Trace Tubing, refer to our latest literature on the Product Support tab.
