Abstract :
It is estimated that over two million feet of electrical heater was installed in 1971 on process piping in areas with a National Electrical Code Classification of Class I Group D Division 2. Therefore, the designer of electrical heat tracing systems must develop a thorough knowledge of those products and design practices which give the greatest assurance of safety and reliability.
