8 APPLICATION
The electrically heated sample tube SP30-H../EX2 is used wherever cooling down or falling below the
dew point, e.g. SP3200-H, is to be avoided during gas sampling from the sampling point to the heated
gas sampling probe.
In dust-laden processes which tend to fall below the dew point in the extraction area during operation or
when the system is at a standstill, it may be advisable to use the electrically heated sample tube SP30-
H1.1-V/EX2 with heated in-situ pre-filter V20-2/30. This prevents premature clogging or destruction.
9 DESCRIPTION
9.1 HEATED SAMPLE TUBE SP30-H../EX2 AND SP30-H1.1-V/EX2
The heated sample tubes SP30-H../EX2 and SP30-H1.1-V/EX2 can be
installed in hazardous areas of zone 2.
The electrically heated M&C sample tube SP30-H../EX2 is available in 0.6 m [23.62”] and 1 m (39.37“]
length (L1 in Fig. 1 and 2). Other length on request.
With a mounting flange with 4 welded screws the heated sample tube SP30-H../EX2 can be easily fixed
both to the flange at the sample point and the probe head e.g. SP3200-H.
The heated sample tubes SP30-H../EX2 are equipped with a G3/4"i thread connector at the tube end.
This enables fixing a standard non heated sample tube or pre-filter to the heated insitu tube.
The electrical cartridge heater is located inside a double tube system, completely separated from the
process. At the version SP30-H1.1-V/EX2 the included large pre-filter V20-2/30 is heated up with the
sample tube.
The tube versions SP30-H../EX2 have an internal diameter of 22 mm.

www.mc-techgroup.com SP30-H../EX2 | 1.02.00 9
The internal diameter of the version SP30-H1.1-V/EX2 is reduced to 6 mm to optimize the tube dead
volume.
The sample tubes SP30-H1.1/EX2 and SP30-H1.1-V/EX2 have a temperature sensor Fe-CuNi for max.
320 °C [608 °F] operating temperature.

9.2 TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER
The temperature control must be mounted externally.
The function and correctness of the temperature control is the responsibility of the installer and operator.
