Bundle Tubing: Features, Benefits, and Industrial Applications

Bundle tubing is a highly efficient and versatile solution for industrial applications requiring integrated tubing systems for transporting fluids and gases sensitive to thermal and environmental variations. O’Brien’s bundle tubing systems effectively address a wide range of operational challenges, ensuring high performance and long service life.

Distinctive Features of O’Brien Bundle Tubing

O’Brien’s bundle tubing stands out for its unique parallel construction, which greatly simplifies on-site installation. The tubes are neither cabled nor twisted, maintaining perfect parallelism and roundness—making compression fitting assembly much easier. A minimum bend radius of just 200 mm allows for accurate installations even in the tightest spaces.

The bi-synchronous Wrap thermal insulation, spiral-wrapped with layers applied in opposing directions, prevents the formation of cold spots and maintains consistent insulating properties. Additionally, the non-breathable insulation design virtually eliminates moisture absorption along the entire length of the tubing.

High-Quality Materials for Superior Performance

The selection of jacket materials plays a key role in the operational efficiency of bundle tubing. The TPU urethane jacket is extremely resistant to abrasion and chemical agents, while remaining flexible down to -40°C, with a minimum operating temperature of -58°C—ensuring optimal performance even in extreme conditions. Alternatively, the SV47 standard PVC jacket outperforms conventional PVC, offering additional versatility.

Advantages of O’Brien Bundle Tubing

Bundle tubing offers numerous advantages, including:

• Simplified installation: Significantly reduced installation time and cost, thanks to the integrated structure that combines tubing, heaters, insulation, and jacket in a single component.

• Durability and reliability: Rugged construction designed to withstand the harshest industrial environments, with minimal maintenance and a notable reduction in downtime.

• Enhanced safety: Lower risk of leaks and thermal variations through precise temperature control using electric or steam tracing.

Wide Range of Materials and Custom Solutions

O’Brien offers a broad selection of tubing materials, including copper, fluoropolymer, stainless steel, zirconium, and silica-coated steel. Available diameters range from 3 mm to over 25 mm, adaptable to any industrial application. The complete elimination of halogens and the use of chloride-free materials ensure high corrosion resistance, effectively protecting stainless steel tubing.

Industrial Applications of Bundle Tubing

O’Brien integrated tubing systems are used across various industrial sectors, including petrochemical, energy, pharmaceutical, and manufacturing. These systems provide optimal temperature control and protection against the harshest environmental conditions, making them ideal for critical processes and hazardous environments.
