Freeze Protection and Temperature Maintenance
TubeTrace® Type SE/ME
Approved for hazardous (classified) locations.

TubeTrace with BSXTM Self-Regulating Heat Trace

Use for water freeze protection and low temperature maintenance. Many analyzer applications have specialty tubing requirements, all of
which Thermon can provide within our instrument tubing bundles.
Tube Temperature Range: 5°C to 65°C Examples of tube materials and finishes that are available include:
Maximum Exposure Temperature: 85°C
• Fluoropolymer tubing, 316 and 304 stainless, welded or seamless,
TubeTrace with HTSXTM Self-Regulating Heat Trace Monel*, titanium, Inconel * 825, and Alloy 20 are readily available.
Use where temperature exposure to steam purge is expected. • Optional Electropolished (EP), Chemical Passivation (CP), and per-
Tube Temperature Range: 5°C to 121°C formance coatings such as SilcoNert* are also available on stainless

Use where high temperature exposure is a consideration.
Tube Temperature Range: 5°C to 149°C
Maximum Exposure Temperature: 250°C

“NI” Non-insulated (and non-heated) Bundle

Other TubeTrace options can include:
• Auxiliary conductors
• Unheated tubes
• Factory installed temperature sensor(s)

Freeze Protection of High Temp Steam Lines Freeze Protection and Temperature Maintenance
TubeTrace® Type SEI/MEI - HT, HTX & HTX2 TubeTrace® Type Type SI/MI and SP/MP
Isolated “cut-to-length” heat trace for high
temperature exposure, suitable for
ambient sensing control.

Steam or Fluid “Light Traced” (SI/MI)

For freeze protection and lower temperature maintenance. The
tracer tube is isolated from the process tube(s), so process tube
temperatures will be significantly lower than the tracer tube
temperature.
TubeTrace® Type SEI/MEI - HT
Maintain: 5°C Tube Temperature Range: 5°C to 121°C
Continuous Exposure: 399°C Maximum Exposure: 205°C *
TubeTrace® Type SEI/MEI - HTX
Maintain: 5°C
Continuous Exposure: 593°C
TubeTrace® Type SEI/MEI - HTX2
Maintain: 5°C
Intermittent Exposure: 593°C

Steam or Fluid “Heavy Traced” (SP/MP)

For freeze protection and process maintenance. The tracer tube is
in direct contact with the process tube(s), so process tube tempera-
tures will be very close to the tracer tube temperature.
Standard Tracer Temperature Range: 5°C to 205°C
Maximum Exposure: 205°C *

* Higher tube temperatues are possible with XINS-extra insulation HT

TubeTrace® Accessories and HTX type designs.
Every type of tubing bundle requires proper termination to ensure
reliable performance and Thermon offers a complete range of
termination kits. Because Thermon manufactures the electrical heat
tracing as well, all of the power connection and termination acces-
sories are fully coordinated and approved.
