SE/ME-BSX
Electrically Heated Tubing Bundles Thermon SE/ME BSX
TubeTrace, with “cut-to-length” BSX self-regulating heat tracing, is designed to provide freeze protection or temperature maintenance from 40 °F (5 °C) to 150 °F (65 °C) for tubing where no “steam out” of the tubing is possible. BSX withstands temperature exposures of 185 °F (85 °C).
Self-regulating BSX heat tracing
- Varies in response to the surrounding conditions along the entire length of a circuit.
- Lower risk of overheating the tube or product.
- • Installed cost is lower because “cut-to-length” BSX makes end connections easy with minimal waste.
- BSX is approved for use in ordinary (non-classified) areas and hazardous (classified) areas.
