T-275

HEAT TRANSFER COMPOUND Product Specifications

Application . . .
T-275 heat transfer compound is used where high
temperature maintenance or high exposure
temperatures are prevalent. Thermon heat transfer
compounds provide an efficient thermal connection
between the tracer and the process equipment. By
eliminating the air voids that would ordinarily exist,
heat is directed into the pipe wall primarily through
conduction rather than convection and radiation.
A single tracer utilizing Thermon’s heat transfer compound
has the equivalent performance of three to five air
convection (bare) tracers.
T-275 is typically utilized for high temperature applications
with maximum exposure temperatures of 275°C. To
minimize waste and speed installation, use Thermon
Channel Trace™ system featuring TFK galvanized steel
channel. The Channel Trace system provides mechanical and
weather protection prior to installation of thermal
insulation. Refer to the next page of this specification sheet
for details.
