Step 3: Choose a trace heater family
Determine the requirements for your trace heating application:
Maximum exposure temperature (power on / power off)
Minimum operation / installation temperature
Required heat output to compensate for the effective heat loss as calculated in Step 2
Required temperature class (“T-Rating”)
Select the trace heater family that meets your requirements using the following table:

NOTICE
If you want to use plastic piping within your installation. contact your local BARTEC distributor for verification that the design does not exceed the
maximum withstand temperature of the pipe material. Also. adjustments in heat loss calculations may be required.
