Abstract:
This recommended practice provides recommendations for the testing, design, installation, and maintenance of electrical resistance heat tracing in general industries as applied to mechanical piping and equipment. The electrical resistance heat tracing is in the form of series-heating cables and parallel-heating cables. The recommendations also include test criteria to determine the suitability of heating cables which are utilized for these applications.
Scope:
This recommended practice provides recommendations for the testing, design, installation, and maintenance of electrical resistance heat tracing in general industries as applied to mechanical piping and equipment. The electrical resistance heat tracing is the form of series-heating cables and parallel-heating cables. The recommendations also include test criteria to determine the suitability of heating cables which are utilized for these applications.
Purpose:
The provisions of this recommended practice should ensure that process, fluid, or material temperatures are maintained and provide electrical, thermal, and mechanical durability to the heat tracing system, such that in normal use its performance is reliable and without danger to the user or surroundings. This recommended practice is a supplement to those provisions outlined in ANSI/NFPA 70-1981 [3) I, Article 427.
