Insulation Resistance Testing of Heat Trace Cable

Electric heat tracing systems are widely used in process industries and have applications in many other areas as well. In general, these systems are used to maintain a preferred temperature. Applications include: keeping materials flowing at an ideal viscosity; preventing pipes from freezing, to help keep railroad tracks, roofs, gutters, antennas, etc. free from ice and snow; or to meet strict temperature variance requirements in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic processing industries, to name just a few.
