Steam heat tracing is the unsung hero of industrial plants. It’s the critical utility that prevents costly freeze-ups and keeps high-viscosity products flowing. But when it fails, the consequences are immediate and severe: production stops, equipment is at risk, and safety is compromised. Too often, these systems are a mystery until something goes wrong.
This intensive 5-day course demystifies steam heat tracing, transforming you into a competent, proactive expert. We provide a comprehensive, hands-on understanding of how to operate, maintain, and troubleshoot these essential systems. You will learn everything from the different types of tracers and the science of heat transfer to the practical skills of diagnosing failed steam traps and ensuring absolute reliability.
Diagnose the root cause of under-heating, over-heating, blockages, and leaks.
Identify and test all major types of steam traps (thermodynamic, thermostatic, F&T) to stop energy waste and prevent system failure.
Interpret system diagrams to quickly locate and isolate tracing loops and components.
Perform essential preventive maintenance to ensure system efficiency and prevent unplanned downtime.
Apply critical safety procedures, including Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), for all work on live steam systems.
