SPECIFICATION GUIDE

The pressure duty belongs to the complete assembly.

State more than normal pressure

Supply normal and maximum operating pressure, the design pressure and any vacuum duty. Identify pressure changes during start-up, isolation, flushing and cleaning. For a steam-traced construction, describe the steam tracer circuit separately from the process tube circuit.

Identify the tube and connections

Outside diameter alone does not define a pressure rating. Material, wall thickness, construction and operating temperature must be checked alongside the selected fittings and equipment connections. Share any required material specification or project documentation with the enquiry.

Review the supplied configuration

Ask PMA to confirm the documented pressure and temperature limits for the proposed assembly. This site does not assign one pressure rating to every electric-traced, steam-traced or pre-insulated line. Any pressure test procedure and acceptance requirements should be agreed for the actual installation.

PRODUCT SELECTION

Tubing families to review.

Compare the range

The appropriate construction, ratings and documentation depend on your process conditions and the exact supplied assembly.

Can I use one pressure rating for the whole tubing range?

No. Obtain the rating for the selected tube, material, temperature and connection arrangement. A product-family name is not a pressure specification.
