 Jacketed Tubing and Insulated Tubing 3

Insulated Tubing
Swagelok insulated tubing is designed for use in applications
such as steam supply, condensate return, and gas and liquid
transport lines, where weatherproofing and energy conservation
are important. Swagelok insulated tubing helps protect person-
nel from hot process and steam lines, reduces heat loss, and
offers a cost-effective alternative to field-installed insulation of
small diameter tubing systems.

Features
■ 316 / 316L stainless steel and copper instrumentation tubing
■ 1/4 to 1/2 in. and 6 to 12 mm tubing sizes
■ Low-temperature UV-resistant PVC jacket
■ Absorption-resistant fibrous glass insulation
■ Insulation contains less than 100 ppm of water-soluble chlorides
■ Marked with part number and batch number
