MISTAKES MADE DURING THE INSTALLATION OF HEAT TRACING


During the installation of an instrument, it is sometimes necessary to heat the pipes or tubing. A simple installation.. you might think, though there appear to be some practical problems.

HEAT TRACING EXISTING PIPING


The first problem is visible after the installation of the pipe, the tracing can not be properly installed along the mounting of the piping. The tracing is then guided around the bracket, which results in a poor conduction of heat.The next step is the isolation; it is hard to install because of the small distance between the mounting and the piping. In addition, there are holes made in the insulation at the brackets where the most heat transfer will take place. See the pictures below.

DETERMINING THE MISTAKES


Pipes are predominantly insulated with foam insulation. This insulation is exposed to weather conditions and for example, birds that peck it. The masking tape is often used as a temporarely solution or the placement of aluminum plating, which is very time-consuming and expensive. In addition, the piping suddenly becomes the support of both tracing and insulation. The insulation around the tube easily comes loose and then the problem starts with maintaining the temperature of the piping.

TRADITIONAL HEAT TRACING


Traditionally the materials are purchased separately from different companies: couplings and tubing at Teesing BV and tracing and isolation from other parties. That means for you: - Various assignments and possible small order costs. - Several shipments with multiple carriers. - Different delivery times and several goods receipts.

Why increase unnecessary costs?..

TEESING OFFERS THE ONE STOP SOLUTION


As a solution we offer you a pre-insulated and possibly traced tube. Combining three processes together into one solution: mounting the tube, installing the tracing and installing the insulation with (waterproof) outer shell. That means for you: - Reduced labor and a better end-result - Less work transfers - Less installation companies Teesing delivers as a technical partner from Thermon the complete package of Heat Tracing products including calculations. We are happy to inform you about pipe freeze protection, tank or vessel heating and winterization including the monitoring and controlling instruments to provide you a complete solution. Ask for the possibilities!

Roll out, mount it, connect it.... ready!
