4. HEAT TRACING DESIGN REQUIREMENTS

4.1 General

4.1.1 Electric heat tracing shall be used to maintain specified process temperatures for freeze protection,
condensation, and product temperature maintenance in piping, equipment, and instruments. In
general, electric tracing shall be used for the following conditions:

(a) Where lines carrying temperature-sensitive or corrosive fluids are being traced and localized
overheating of the line may cause degradation of the product or greatly increase the corrosion
rate.

(b) Where a gradual but simultaneous heating of pipe carrying fluids that require precise
temperature control is necessary.

(c) Where nonmetallic pipe requires heat tracing.

(d) Where pour point protection or dew point protection is specified.

(e) Where temperature control of the process is required.

4.2 Circuitry for Piping and Equipment

4.2.1 Heating circuits for piping and equipment shall be suitably separated and controlled to accommodate
all heat requirement patterns and cycles during operation, maintenance, repair, and plant shutdown.
The following criteria shall be applied:

(a) Circuits for lines handling different services shall not be combined under the same power
feeder or the same control.

(b) Circuits for lines that may concurrently contain flowing and static fluids shall not be combined
under the same control.

(c) When the maintained temperature of a fluid is almost the same as the operating temperature,
circuits for lines that may simultaneously have different temperature conditions shall not be
combined under the same control.

(d) Circuits for a line that is partially, above and underground, or, indoors and outdoors, shall not
be combined under the same control.

(e) Generally, circuits for dead-end lines for draining, venting, flushing, and normally closed bypass
shall not be combined with the same control for circuits used for main process line. However,
circuits for those lines not exceeding three times the main process line diameter in length may
be combined with the same control used for the main line.

(f) Circuits for lines that may be concurrently in operation and be isolated for maintenance or
repair shall not be combined under the same power feeder or the same control.

(g) Refer to Figures 2A, 2B, and 2C for typical heat tracing applications.

(h) Provisions shall be made in the circuitry to facilitate removal of pumps and valves without
affecting the heat tracing on associated equipment or process lines.
RasGas Onshore Expansion Project Phase 2 (Train 6&7 EPC and AKG-2 EPC) RG6-S-91-1388-002 Rev. 2
Electric Heat Tracing for Process Areas Sheet 5 of 14
(i) Where practical, heat tracing cables for pumps and valves shall be provided with local
disconnecting means to facilitate removal without affecting operation of heat tracing on
connecting process lines.

4.2.2 When self-regulating heat tracing cables are specified, it is possible that the criteria noted in
Paragraph 4.2.1, Item (b) through (e) can be waived. Heating circuits using self-regulating cable
could be economically combined provided that all possible heat requirement patterns and cycles are
not jeopardized during operation, maintenance, repair, and plant shutdown. Combining of circuits
shall be specifically approved by PURCHASER on an individual basis.

4.3 Circuitry for Instrumentation, Piping and Enclosures

4.3.1 Instrument process sensing piping, level gages, level displacer chambers, and pressure gages
requiring temperature maintenance and that are all associated with a process line or lines having
common characteristics may be traced using a common heat tracing circuit. Instrument pressure
lead piping, level gages, level displacer chambers, and pressure gages requiring heating shall be
traced with common heat tracing circuitry where possible. Self-regulating heat tracing cable shall be
used where applicable. For other types of heat tracing cable, temperature control devices may be
provided.

4.3.2 Where practical, a separate circuit shall be provided for each instrument and its associated process
sensing line. Where more than one instrument is connected to a common branch circuit, each
instrument shall be provided with a local disconnecting means.

4.3.3 Instruments that are connected to associated process lines with process sensing lines not exceeding
one process line diameter in length may be heat traced with the heat tracing cable used for the
process line and combined under the same power supply circuit and temperature controller used for
the process lines.

4.3.4 Temperature controlled heaters and rigid foam polyurethane insulating enclosures for the wetted
parts of the instrument shall be provided for flow and pressure transmitters requiring heating. The
heater circuit design shall ensure that temperatures cannot exceed instrument wetted portion
temperature limits.

4.4 Capacity

4.4.1 Heat tracing capacity shall be designed based upon the specified minimum ambient temperature,
average thermal conductivity of the insulation, heat transfer coefficient from the insulated surface,
and windage. Heat tracing circuits shall be capable of replacing at least 125% of the calculated heat
loss of traced piping, equipment, and instruments at 90% of specified operating voltage. Refer to
Paragraph 4.4.3 for selection of the overall safety factor that will include this contingency.

4.4.2 Heat tracing cable shall be capable of developing rated heat output over the expected cable life
when operating continuously at 110% of rated voltage and exposure to the maximum continuous
process temperature. The cable shall be sized to develop sufficient output watts per foot required to
maintain process conditions at minimum ambient temperature when operating at 90 % of specified
voltage.

4.4.3 The design calculations for heat tracing cable capacity shall include a safety factor of 1.25 to 1.5
based on all contingencies and user and vendor experience. The safety factor selected should take
into consideration the process line size, the configuration, and the number of associated pieces of
equipment to be traced. Process lines over 152 mm in diameter and pumps generally require use of
a larger service factor.

4.4.4 Special consideration shall be given to heat tracing requirements for pumps and valves. Pumps
generally represent a large heat sink. The heat loss for pumps in critical service shall be determined
by finite element analysis and consultation with the heat tracing system manufacturer. The minimum
heating capacity requirement shall be 200% of the heat loss determined by standard calculation
methods or 125% of the heat loss determined by finite element analysis, whichever is greater.

4.4.5 The thermal insulation material for each line shall be specified. Heat transfer aid materials such as
heat transfer cement and aluminum tape covering shall not be considered in the calculation of heat
tracing capacity and heat tracing cable temperature limits.

Electric Heat Tracing for Process Areas Sheet 6 of 14
4.4.6 Spiraling of heat tracing cable on pipelines to gain additional heating is not recommended. Higher
wattage heating cable, or, if necessary, use of multiple runs of heating cable is recommended.

4.4.7 For critical applications where process temperature heat-up time is an important factor during start-
up or after an extended power shutdown, extra heating capacity requirements in addition to that
required for temperature maintenance should be provided.

4.5 Cable Temperature Limits

4.5.1 Heat tracing installation shall be so designed that heat tracing cables withstand the temperature
under the most severe conditions; that is, temperature control device failure, maximum ambient
temperature, no wind, cable operating at 110% of rated voltage, and the piping with fluid at its
operating temperature or with no fluid, whichever is more severe. Where lines are subject to steam
out then cables shall withstand steam out temperatures.

4.5.2 The heat tracing cable sheath temperature shall not exceed 80% of ignition temperature of the gas or
vapor that could be present in a classified location. The cable shall have a certified maximum
temperature class (T rating).

4.5.3 Heat tracing cable temperature, under the most extreme conditions, shall not result in a system
temperature that exceeds the maximum allowable process temperature.

4.5.4 Heat tracing cable shall be capable of being installed in a crossover configuration without resulting in
destructive burnout, injurious overheating, or reduction in cable heat output below system
requirement.

4.6 Cable Length

4.6.1 High heat losses at pipe flanges, valves, support shoes and other appurtenances shall be
compensated by use of additional lengths of heat tracing cable installed in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.

4.6.2 Heat tracing cable length shall be the pipeline length plus the extra lengths required to compensate
for the components noted in Paragraph 4.6.1. This length shall be increased an additional 5%.

4.6.3 Maximum length of heat tracing cable runs shall be in accordance with the cable manufacturer's
recommendations for cold start-up ambient conditions and end-of-line voltage conditions, whichever
is more restrictive.

4.6.4 When applying constant wattage or self-regulating heat tracing cable in long runs, voltage drop
should be considered, as the wattage per foot at the end of the run will be less than at the beginning
of the run due to the voltage drop. This should be taken into consideration when determining cable
output and location of the temperature sensor.

4.6.5 Cable runs without splices are preferred. However, where splices may be required, they shall be cold
junction splices made in accessible junction boxes outside the insulation.
