Heat Trace Audits

nVent Thermal Management customizes your heat trace audit based on the level of Heat Management System (HMS) detail your operation requires.

A basic visual inspection often identifies physical damage or areas for improvement in craftsmanship, whereas a comprehensive heat trace audit involves recording specific HMS performance data and compiling it in a detailed audit report.

nVent Thermal Management also can perform comprehensive damage assessments in the case of fires, explosions, or the re-commissioning of old facilities.

Heat Trace Audit diagnostics can include:

• Insulation resistance test
• Current (Amperage) reading
• Resistance (Ohm) reading
• Operational test of temperature controllers
• Visual inspection of all accessible heat tracing components
• Evaluation of any existing fault conditions
• Visual inspection of insulation and protective jacketing
• Visual inspection of all accessible heat tracing components
• Confirmation of cable integrity (dielectric test)
• Cable fault location test

At the completion of a heat trace audit, we provide a comprehensive report that:

• Details observations, test results, and suggestive maintenance procedures for correction
• Identifies potential risk factors
• Recommends steps to improve the performance of your Heat Management System
