1.4 Steam Tracing Symbols and Legend: Steam tracing will be indicated on the piping and instrument diagrams and the piping isometrics. Lines to be heated will be shown by a dashed line parallel to the pipe line and the appropriate legend after the line number such as: a)BT or BTS for steam tracing with a bare

This article is sample engineering steam tracing specification that is used in construction project for industrial plant. It is indirectly is useful for site inspectors. 1. GENERAL. The Steam Tracing inspection and testing is part of I4I Academy API 510 Pressure Vessel Inspector Course and API 570 piping Inspector Course. 1.1. SCOPE

Section 8.5 of API RP 550. However, when electronic instruments are heat traced the type of heat tracing should be to the instrument manufacturer’s recommendation. Consideration should be given to the use of electrical heat tracing and also to thermostatic control to ensure the manufacturer’s specified operating temperatures are not ...

Steam tracing is used for the freeze protection of pipelines. It is used as an alternative to electrical tracing. The steam consumption necessary to enable this freeze protection is dependent on the following: • Contact between the tracer line and product line • Line temperature • …

Steam tracing is a heating method used for pipelines to maintain process fluids at a specified elevated temperature. It is a type of heat tracing for process lines transporting media that are adversely affected by cold conditions or temperature dips. Heat tracing methods include fluid heating and electric heating.
