  1. Select the pipe run, piping component, equipment, equipment component, nozzle, or instrument for which you want to specify heat tracing.

  2. In the Properties window, specify values for the HT Medium, HT Medium Temp, and HT Requirement properties.

  • If you have already specified insulation properties for the item, you cannot subsequently assign heat tracing properties unless the default heat trace medium was set to Ignore for the specified insulation spec.

  • If you assign heat tracing to an item before you assign insulation properties, your choices of insulation properties and specifications are restricted.

  • The HT Medium and HT Requirement properties are available from select lists. When you type the temperature value for the HT Medium Temp property, the software associates the default unit of measure with the value unless you specify a different unit of measure. Select list values are defined in Data Dictionary Manager; Format Manager contains definitions for temperature units.

  • The location of the heat tracing graphics for piping components, equipment, equipment components, nozzles, or instruments is determined using the Heat Trace layer in Catalog Manager.

  • In Options Manager, you can define the heat trace symbology. You can also specify whether a particular heat trace medium is defined as a single or a double heat trace. This affects the way the symbology is applied, as shown in the following examples.

    Pipe run, valve and nozzle with single heat trace medium:

    Pipe run, valve and nozzle with double heat trace medium:

    Note that the double heat trace definition affects the symbology of the pipe run only.
