Why Technical Support Matters When the Temperature Drops
The best time to identify a heat trace problem is before temperatures reach their lowest point. Facilities need to inspect and test their systems before winter, verify that circuits and controls are functioning properly and address signs of damage or inconsistent performance early.
Before you specify heat trace are you asking about UL certification?
Heat trace certification needs to be considered as a system question, rather than simply a cable question. It’s critical that every component match the requirements of the location where it will actually be installed. Before approving the next heat trace specification, ensure that you’ve verified that the heat trace system is properly certified for where and how you intend to use it.
5 Signs Your Heat Trace System Needs Attention Before Winter
Do you know if your trace heating system will perform as designed when you need it most? Taking time to inspect cable, insulation and connections, review electrical test results and confirm that operating conditions haven’t changed can help reduce the risk of frozen piping, sprinklers, process interruptions and emergency winter repairs.
Heat Trace Design Engineering: Are You Asking the Right Questions?
Designing a heat trace system can look straightforward on paper from determining heat loss, calculating the wattage required, and specifying the appropriate heating cable. But successful heat trace design depends on much more than these calculations. Engineers have to...
Preventing Frozen Fire Sprinkler Systems Starts in Summer – Don’t Delay!
For facility managers, building owners, engineers, and contractors, summer provides an important opportunity to inspect existing systems, identify vulnerable areas, and address potential freeze protection issues before temperatures begin to fall.
Petrochemical Hazardous Area Trace Heating Considerations: What Should You Be Asking?
Here are some of the considerations that should be addressed before a petrochemical hazardous-area heat trace system is specified, installed or upgraded.
Five Questions Every Engineer Should Ask Before Selecting Trace Heating Cables
When your design depends on heat trace performing exactly as expected, every specification matters. Selecting a trace heating system isn't simply about preventing pipes from freezing. It's about ensuring the system consistently delivers the wattage needed to maintain...
Every Hour of Downtime in a Food Processing Facility Costs Money
Whether your facility is using chocolate, oils, syrups, fats, dairy products, or other temperature-sensitive materials, maintaining consistent process temperatures is essential to product quality, food safety, and production efficiency.
