Tubing

Tubing for Thermo Scientific temperature control systems is optional. Please
select the proper tubing from the table shown in Section 5.
Ensure the tubing you select will meet your maximum temperature
and pressure requirements.
Plastic and rubber tubing
If other plastic and rubber tubes are used, ensure that the tubes selected are
fully suitable for the particular application, i.e., that they will not split, crack
or become disengaged from their connections.
Connect the tubing using the supplied tube fittings for 8 or 12 mm i.d. They
are attached to the plumbing connections with a supplied coupling nut.
We highly recommend using foam rubber insulation on the tubing and the
fittings.
Metal tubing
Thermo Scientific metal tubing (stainless steel insulated) offers a particularly
high degree of safety and is suitable for both low and high temperatures/
liquids.
The metal tubing is attached directly to the plumbing connections, gaskets are
not required.
Do not subject tubing to mechanical strain and ensure any specified
bend radius is not exceeded.
Tubing is available in lengths of 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 meters. Couplings for
connecting tubes are also available.
The smallest opening inside the metal tubes is 10 mm. The metal tubing is
provided with coupling nuts (M16 x 1, DIN 12 879, part 2) at either end.
