Industrial Electrical Trace Heating Contractors

Big plants rarely stop because of the big kit. They stop because ten metres of small-bore tubing froze, or because the gap between the heating, the insulation and the cladding belonged to nobody. TA Thermal exists to close those gaps – installed, tested and documented right first time.

Electrical Trace Heating FAQs

Electrical trace heating uses purpose-designed heating cable to replace heat lost from pipework, vessels and associated equipment. It can provide frost protection or maintain a required process temperature.

The heating cable is installed directly onto the pipe or equipment and covered by suitable thermal insulation. Controls and sensors regulate the system according to the application.

TA Thermal provides trace heating installation, testing, commissioning, fault finding, maintenance and repair services for industrial and commercial sites throughout the UK.

Common options include self-regulating, constant-wattage and mineral-insulated heating cable. The correct system depends on the required temperature, pipework, environment and site classification.

Yes. TA Thermal can inspect and test existing installations, identify faults and recommend suitable repair, maintenance or replacement work.
