Typical Applications
QFin’s Design Maximizes the heat input of a carbon or stainless-steel internal heating coils and it is fully removable and replaceable. QFin is a bolt-on heating fin that attaches to any size pipe. The highly conductive aluminum material of QFin increases the heating surface area by 1,000% which allows for greater heating capabilities or decreased total footage of the internal coil. QFin is specifically designed for high-viscosity fluids such as Asphalt, Bitumen and Coker Feeds to allow for easy removal and reinstallation of fins if the product cokes on the fins.

Typical Applications
QMax Industries offers a wide variety of internal tank heating coil options including bare pipe coils and spiral welded finned tube coils. Our engineers often size and design custom heating coils to ensure we meet specific needs of the project. We also offer standard heating coil bank configurations for one-pick installation. QMax tank heating coils can be designed using several heating media including steam, hot oil, water or explosion-proof catalyst (by QMax Catalytic, LLC.) These coils can also be designed to fit into existing tank manway openings or into any specific tank or vessel.

Typical Applications
QMax FTS Heat Tracing Maximizes the heat input of regular stainless steel or copper tube tracer and offers consistent results. First, QMax transforms the nature of a steam tracer from ineffective convective heat transfer to highly efficient conductive heat transfer. Second, the heating surface area is increased to as much as 2 inches (50mm) using highly conductive aluminum. When compared to traditional tracing on a vessel, the QMax FTS system can significantly reduce the number of tracing passes required. When compared with traditional plate coils, QMax FTS can offer much greater contact for more consistent tank heating results.

CST [Carbon Steel Tracing]
Specifications
| Model | QMax CST |
| Material | SA178 Grade A Boiler Tube (carbon steel) |
| Thermal Conductivity | ~120 BTU/hr ft^2 °F |
| Max. Temperature Limitation | 750°F (399°C) |
| Weight | ~2.5 lb/ft (1.13 kg/m) |

Typical Applications
QMax CST (Carbon Steel Tracing) is a 1” x 2” rectangular pipe contoured on one side to match the outside diameter of the process pipe. Specifically designed for long-run hot oil tracing, QMax CST can be prefabricated from customer drawings or it can be provided as parts and pieces to be fabricated in the field. In either case, QMax Industries, Inc. will provide a thermal analysis to size the system. QMax CST is formed from SA 178 Gr. A, carbon steel boiler tubing. The elements are fabricated and tested in accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Div. 1 or Section IX.
