Steam Traced Tubing

SHTL

Steam Traced Tubing

A steam (hot water vapour) to heat and maintain a particular temperature inside the tube. Steam is circulated around the tubing to prevent the contents from cooling down or freezing.

Overview

Techwin International’s steam-traced tubing solutions are designed to mitigate heat loss using steam as an energy source. Available in various configurations to suit the news of different industries, these tubing bundles are critical for maintaining temperature-sensitive fluids within operational parameters. These tubes are wrapped with thermal insulation made of several layers covered with a choice of outer jacket for your unique needs. Based on the design of the steam-traced tubing bundle, you need to remove condensate at various intervals.

Advantages

Our Steam traced tubing is quick and easy to install, offering significant cost savings.
They are available in customizable lengths, reducing material costs and decreasing the necessity for additional fittings.
Their compact design demands less installation space.
Our Steam traced tubing is maintenance-free with a strong resistance to mechanical, abrasive, and corrosive damage.
These tubing bundles are certified safe for use in hazardous environments.

Types

1. Steam Trace Heavy d Bundle:

This type involves direct contact between the steam tracer tube and the process tube, which is ideal for applications requiring high-temperature steam for heat-up processes, such as in pressure transmission and analyzer sample lines.

2. Light Steam Traced Bundle:

Here, the steam tracer tube and process tube are separate. This configuration is optimal for stable process temperatures and freeze protection for water lines and sensitive chemicals, ensuring the maintenance of viscosity and other crucial properties.

Keynotes

Applications

Techwin's steam-traced tubing is rigorously tested to meet stringent industrial performance standards. The rating highlights the dual focus on safety and efficiency, ensuring reliable operation under extreme and high-temperature conditions.

Rating & Performance

Analyser Sampling Lines: Ideal for maintaining the necessary temperatures in process analyzers, emission monitoring systems, and gas chromatographs.
Instrumentation Impulse Lines: Ensures stable temperatures for precise control and accurate readings in flow, pressure, and level transmitters.

Insulation

Our Standard non-hygroscopic fiberglass insulation safeguards against moisture and thermal loss. For processes exceeding 400°C, our aerogel insulation offers unparalleled thermal protection, maintaining performance without compromise.

Outer FR-PVC Jacket

The tubing features a UV-resistant FR-PVC jacket, providing substantial protection against corrosive environments and a variety of aggressive substances. It’s designed to withstand extreme temperatures ranging from -40 to 105°C.
