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 meets 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.
