O’Brien Analytical
Complete Thermal Process Management Solutions
O’Brien SADDLEPAK Primary Supports are a solid mounting base for any instrument stand. SADDLEPAK Secondary Modules are added to the primary support to create any desired configuration.
O’Brien TRACEPAK tubing bundles from Pioneer Industrial consists of a small diameter tube or group of tubes packaged in an insulated, weatherproofed jacket. It may be steam or electric traced to provide freeze protection or temperature maintenance.
O’Brien has provided quality thermal process management products to the petrochemical, oil refining, pulp and paper, and power industries for over 50 years. The company was built on quality and attention to detail, so the products they provide will perform even under intense applications. Through Pioneer Industrial, O’Brien products are an important part of common industrial applications and one-of-a-kind solutions. This quality extends to their knowledge of industry practices and understanding of code requirements, so the products supplied for your project are ideal for your specific application.
For processes and systems needing freeze protection, dew-point component drop-out, viscosity, personnel protection, and thermal control, Pioneer Industrial turns to AMETEK-O’Brien electrical pipe tracing technology. O’Brien has long been recognized as a leader in providing reliable tubing bundles and electrical heat tracing that delivers simplified installation, reliable protection, and predictable operation even under extreme weather and temperature conditions.
Simple Installation – TRACEPAK and other product lines are designed to be easy to install, saving money and time. Traditional field fabrication requires a pipe fitter to lay out, measure, cut, bend, and install the tubing. O’Brien products represent a fully integrated system that is scalable to your needs and simple to install. Most applications need a simple, one-plane offset bend to engage tubing and fittings.
Predictable Performance – O’Brien electrical pipe tracing can be installed at temperatures as low as -40° C. The TPU jacket contains no halogens, eliminating the possibility of chlorides from the jacket that would lead to corrosion in stainless steel tubing. With excellent abrasion and chemical resistance, AMETEK-O’Brien products deliver high performance under a wide range of conditions.
Self-regulating electric tracing – The TRACEPAK system is designed to maintain freeze protection, close temperature tolerances, and viscosity control. It is meant to be used for very long, continuous lengths of impulse lines and piping that need to maintain consistent temperatures from one end to the other. TPE electric tracing bundles should be chosen when electric tracing is preferred or when steam applications are not available or could be interrupted during shutdowns.
Typical applications for the TRACEPAK thermal process management system include:
A major part of the value that Pioneer provides is the care taken with the vendors we choose. Your business depends on us to provide equipment that is safe under extreme conditions, simple to maintain, and reliable. We offer the best in the business and we make sure individual vendors are compatible with each other so there are no issues during a lengthy installation or overhaul.
