![]() Steam tracing is used because it is efficient―steam has a high latent heat thus making it an effective heating medium. Representative temperatures for high, medium, and low steam pressure are 150–180☌, 200–270☌, and 350–400☌. Depending on the temperature requirements of the fluid in the pipe different levels of steam pressure can be used for tracing. ![]() The temperature of the fluid in the line can be controlled by an automatic controller that turns the supply of steam on and off. The steam condenses as it flows along and is collected in a steam trap. The steam tubing can be connected to the pipe either with straps or by special heat-conducting cement. ![]() Steam tracing consists of small bore piping connected to the steam header and that is wrapped around the piping that it is protecting. ![]() Ian SuttonAuthor, in Plant Design and Operations (Second Edition), 2017 Steam Tracing ![]()
