An Introduction to Frost Heave Prevention Systems
What is frost heaving? Frost heaving happens when soil expands upwards due to ice forming underneath the ground. Frost heaving occurs when freezing temperatures penetrate the soil and ground beneath the flooring. This can lead to a myriad of negative impacts for a business as the expansion of soil weakens the foundation of the floor, which can even result in cracks in the walls or pillars. Thousands of businesses suffer losses from damage to valuable inventory and ... Read More
3 Controls to Consider When Selecting Your Electrical Heat Tracing Solution
Before embarking on designing or managing your electrical heat tracing project, it is important to consider the various options for monitoring and controlling your Electrical Heat Tracing systems. The use of monitoring of the circuit integrity is an advantage as it increases the overall system's reliability as failures in the heating and power distribution systems can be reported back to operations and maintenance personnel locally or at a central location. Types a... Read More

What are the Applications of Electrical Heat Tracing?
What is Electrical Heat Tracing Electrical Heat Tracing is an engineered system designed to maintain or protect process piping, equipment, vessels, and instruments at defined temperatures and within specified design criteria. An electrical heat tracing system is much more than just the heating cable. A large majority of commercial electrical heat-tracing systems are of the resistive type and take the form of cables that are placed on pipes. When electric cu... Read More
