Steam tracing—also called steam heat tracing —is a method used in industrial facilities to maintain or increase the temperature of process piping, valves, and equipment  by running a small steam line (the “tracer”) along the process pipe. The heat from the steam offsets heat loss to the environment and helps keep the product inside the pipe within its required temperature range. Steam tracing is widely used for: Freeze protection  (e.g., water lines, instrument lines, drains)
