Tempco Installation Accessories
Tubing for Cooling Lines
Cooling Line Tubing can be used to connect the Tempco Cast-In heat/cool bands to the plumbing system of your extruder. Tubing is available in 6’8″ lengths for U.P.S. shipments and up to 20′ lengths for truck shipments. Barlow’s formula below was used to calculate Working Pressure in the table.
Wire Braided Hose
Flexible Teflon® Wire Braided Hose provides an excellent means of connecting Cast-In Heaters to the extruder plumbing system. This style of hose meets the demands of medium to tight bending radius requirements. The stainless steel braid protects the Teflon® hose from any harsh mechanical conditions that may be present.
Adaptor Fittings
Rigid brass adapter fittings are used to mate the base hose assembly to your existing installation.
Additional Options
125 RMS Standard
RMS Surface Finish as defined in ASME B46.1 — RMS is the root mean square of the profile height deviations from the mean line, recorded within the evaluation length. The standard surface finish for the machined surface of Tempco cast-in heaters is 125 RMS.
Special Features
Electroless Nickel-Plated — A plating technique (without using an electric current) used to deposit a coating of nickel on a substrate to prevent corrosion, wear and also as a protective coating.
Teflon Coating — Teflon is non-reactive so it is often used in containers and pipework for reactive and corrosive chemicals.
Hard coat anodizing — Anodizing increases resistance to corrosion and wear.
Magnaplate — Strong wear and corrosion resistance non-stick coating that withstands high temperatures.
