TFK

Description

Thermon TFK Channels are specially crafted to enclose, safeguard, and permanently fasten steam trace tubing (and sometimes hard-pipe) to pipelines or tanks. Available in galvanized or stainless steel construction, different channel sizes guarantee even coverage of Thermon heat transfer compounds for specific tubing diameters. TFK channels not only safeguard the heat transfer compound and tracer but also facilitate contact between the tracer and the pipeline or tank to which it is attached.

The TFK channels are secured in place by stainless steel banding straps, anchoring the trace to the pipeline or tank and aiding in securing the heat transfer compound to the tracer. A tracing system equipped with TFK channels ensures a robust thermal connection to the heated surface, maximizing heat transfer capability for the entire service life of the pipeline or vessel, within the operational range of the heat transfer compounds.
