Heat tracing is an electrical system used to heat pipes, tanks, and other components. Heat trace cables are lined along piping systems and raise or maintain the temperature of components. As electricity passes through the wires, it generates heat that warms the surroundings.

Some heat trace cables are made from self-regulating polymers that adjust their temperature based on the ambient temperature for a specific component. Others are controlled using a thermostat or temperature sensor. Most heat trace systems have sensors and monitors to track their performance and regulate their temperature.
