Heat Trace Limited manufacture the most technically advanced range of electric heat tracing equipment in the world.
Established in 1974, Heat Trace Limited is now one of the world’s leading suppliers of electric heat tracing equipment for both process temperature maintenance and freeze protection applications.
With offices, distributors, or representation, in over 50 countries, Heat Trace Limited can provide a variety of associated products and services to complement our heat tracing product range.
Heat Trace can provide a comprehensive range of electric heat tracing systems for:
- Short or long pipelines
- Series, parallel constant power, self-regulating, or skin effect current tracing systems
- Above ground, buried, or subsea pipelines
- Complex in-plant piping systems
- Down well heating systems
- Externally, or internally, heat traced pipelines
- Low voltage automotive and aerospace applications (12V; 24V and 48V; etc.)
- Safe, or hazardous area installations
- Tanks, vessel and hopper heating systems
- Helideck heating systems for shipping and off-shore structures
- Temperature maintenance, or heat-raising to temperatures up to 600°C
- Tack and points heating systems for main rail, light rail and monorails
In addition to providing heating and ancillary products, a high quality Design and Engineering facility is available from a number of globally located design centres. Together with the manufacture of a complete and comprehensive product range, our worldwide installation and commissioning capabilities, enables us to offer complete, or partial, turnkey projects.
Each Heat Trace product is the result of an innovative concept, idea, or construction, aimed at increasing Safety, Efficiency, Reliability, Performance and System Life. Each product possesses unique features and benefits. Many of the products developed and manufactured by Heat Trace Limited carry world patents.
Investing a significant percentage (15%) of our turnover into R & D, Heat Trace has become a world pioneer in several important areas. Work is currently being conducted in such fields as: electronics, computer sciences, polymer technology, metallurgy, composites and programmable power control. This work is carried out within the group’s own R & D Laboratories, sometimes in conjunction with major research and educational establishments. Product proving often takes place with the assistance of Government Departments, such as the UK Department of Energy, Technology Strategy Board (TSB) etc.
Heat Trace Limited won the 2014 Queen’s Award for Enterprise in the Innovation category, in recognition of their outstanding achievement in the development of electric heat tracing systems.
System design and manufacture is carried out in accordance with the latest International Standards for electric heat tracing systems. All products are supplied in accordance with BS EN ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System and also ISO IEC 80079-34:2011 Explosive Systems - Applications of Quality Systems for Equipment Manufacture. HTL products carry full International approvals/certifications, such as ATEX; IECEx; DNV; VDE; CSA; FM; CNEX; TR-CU … and other accredited certifications.

Heat Tracing Cables & Systems
Products
Heat Trace Manufacture and Supply a complete range of Electric Trace heating products including:
|
||
Self Regulating Heating Cables
|
|
|
Semi conductive parallel resistance heating cables mainly for use in freeze protection or temperature maintenance applications. For use up to 300°C (572°F). We can produce self-regulating heating cables within the following ranges: 12 - 1000 Volts Up to 300°C (572°F) withstand temperature Up to 120 W/m of output
|
||
Constant Wattage Heating Cables
|
|
|
Constant Wattage heating cables (zonal heating cables) can be conveniently cut-to-length, but are less popular than self-regulating heating cables, because they often require thermostatic control to ensure temperature safety. We can produce constant wattage heating cables within the following ranges: 12 - 1000 Volts Up to 425°C (797°F) withstand temperature Up to 200 W/m of output
|
||
Series Resistance (Longline) Heating Cables
|
|
|
Series Resistance heating cables have to be individually designed into particular length and load configurations and so are not as versatile as parallel cables. We can produce series resistance heating cables within the following ranges: Up to 1000 Volts 3 phase Up to 230°C (446°F) withstand temperature Up to 60 W/m of output
|
||
Power Connection and Terminations
|
|
|
We provide a choice of termination systems specifically designed and approved for use with our heating cables. Standard Gland and Junction Box StripFree DESTU UniClip Micro
