How Much Does Heat Tracing Cost?
Heat tracing keeps pipes flowing when cold temperatures might cause water, oil, or chemical products to freeze, condense, or congeal. By providing a low-wattage current to the pipe surface, heat tracing helps maintain just the right temperature. So, if you’re transporting fluids by pipe in colder temperatures, you may rely on heat tracing technology to […]
Does Heat Trace Require Insulation?
Like peanut butter and jelly and mac and cheese, some things just work better together. The same goes for heat tracing and pipe insulation. This dynamic duo combines to deliver maximum heating efficiency to keep your fluids moving. In this blog, we break down how wire and wrapping combine in this classic industrial match-up. It’s […]
How Long Does Pipe Coating Last?
Pipe coating can add to the upfront cost of your project’s procurement, engineering, and installation process, but delivers value down the line in the form of lower maintenance costs, improved flows, and other efficiencies. It’s important to understand how long your pipe coating is expected to last to calculate the expected return on your investment […]
What You Need to Know About Industrial Pipe Coating
Sometimes short-term gains can lead to long-term pain. Relying on unprotected bare metal pipes for your industrial process or transfer project can save you money at installation time, but may end up costing you more in maintenance and repairs down the line. Unprotected pipes are susceptible to corrosion, abrasion, flow inefficiencies, and even catastrophic failure. […]

What is mechanical insulation and why do engineers think it’s so important now and in the future? What’s the Wrap? Mechanical Insulation for Beginners Not sure what mechanical insulation is? The answer likely lies closer than you […]
6 Problems With Industrial Insulation
Insulation reduces the rate at which heat flows from hot to cold. In industrial environments, it reduces energy costs, enables more precise process control, and helps keep workers and others close by from harm. If the insulation is defective, it won’t perform these functions to the level required, which can mean unexpected shutdowns and repair […]
