TubeTrace® TYPE SE/ME

ELECTRICALLY HEATED INSTRUMENT TUBING
With HTSX™ Self-Regulating Heat Tracing

APPLICATION 1
TubeTrace, with “cut-to-length” HTSX self-regulating
heat tracing, is designed to provide freeze protection
2
or temperature maintenance from 40°F (5°C) to
302°F (150°C) for tubing where high temperature
exposure capability is possible. HTSX withstands
temperature exposures of 482°F (250°C).
3
Self-regulating HTSX heat tracing: 4
• Varies in response to the surrounding conditions
along the entire length of a circuit.
• Lower risk of overheating the tube or product. 5
• Installed cost is lower because “cut-to-length”
HTSX makes end connections easy with minimal
waste.
• HTSX is approved for use in ordinary (non-
classified) areas and hazardous (classified) areas.

Note
1. This reflects maximum exposure for heater. If bundle jacket is to remain below
60°C (140°F) in 27°C (80°F) ambient (in consideration of personnel burn risk)
tube temperature must remain below 205°C (400°F). Alternative designs to
keep jacket below 60°C (140°F) in higher ambients and/or with higher tube
temperatures are available. Contact Thermon.
