Heat trace cable is essentially a special type of electrical wire that generates heat when an electrical current passes through it. It's typically made from materials like nickel-chromium alloy or ...
Scientists suspected that, among other possibilities, plastic drinking water pipes exposed to extreme heat released the chemicals (SN: 11/13/20). Now, lab experiments show that’s possible.
Even variations in ambient or water temperature are compensated for as the cable adjusts its heat output along the entire length of a heat traced pipe. Features of Heat Tracing Devices from ...
