Heat Tracing

At Metro 1 Insulation, we understand the critical importance of maintaining the optimal temperature in various industrial and commercial processes. That's why we offer top-of-the-line heat trace solutions to meet your heating requirements and ensure the efficient operation of your systems, even in the harshest environments.

What is Heat Trace

Heat trace, also known as heat tracing or surface heating, is a method used to compensate for heat loss in pipes, vessels, and equipment by applying an electrical or steam heating element directly to their surfaces. The primary goal of heat trace is to maintain the temperature of the material being transported or stored, preventing it from solidifying, freezing, or undergoing unwanted chemical reactions due to extreme temperatures.
