Notes:
* Copper tubing meets ASTM Std B68-B75. Stainless steel tubing meets ASTM Std A269. **All tracer tubes are available in 0.049" wall thickness; contact Thermon.The SafeTrace BTS jacket provides a measure of personnel burn protection without sacrificing thermal performance when compared to bare metal tube tracers installed on a pipe.
SafeTrace BTS tracers utilize a safety yellow identification jacket to signify materials inherently dangerous such as steam per ASME/ANSI A13.1-1996.
SafeTrace BTS is supplied in long length coils and may be installed anywhere bare tracing is specified.
