BUILT AROUND THE APPLICATION

Tube dimensions, supported runs, connection points and maintenance access are coordinated with the process layout. Share the product properties, maximum flow and specified holding requirement.

A holding tube works within the complete thermal process. Sizing and approval must account for product properties and flow behavior; nominal tube volume alone is not a validation method.

Practical answers.

How is a holding tube sized?

Sizing starts with the approved process requirement, product properties, maximum flow and defined design method. Geometry, flow behavior and the complete system must be reviewed; nominal volume alone is insufficient.

Does a fabricated holding tube establish pasteurization compliance?

No. The complete thermal process, equipment arrangement, controls and operating conditions require the applicable review and approval. Do not infer process validation from fabrication of the tube assembly.

Can Centrex build to an approved customer drawing?

Yes. Provide the controlled drawing, design basis, material and finish requirements, connections, inspection scope and required records for fabrication review.
