The use of conventional heaters has started to decrease significantly with the passage of time and the change in the economic conditions. Over time, the conventional heater technologies have started to become outdated. With each causing a greater amount of heat loss and economic misfortune.
The changes in the world’s economic conditions and the overall use of technology translate into newer technologies of heaters being the only viable option. 
One such heater that has started to make rounds in the technically gifted heater market today is the pipe heater.
Pipe heaters are heaters that are purpose built to make sure they are able to fit inside a pipe. The standard sizes of the pipes in which this heater can be used are 40 NPS pipes that are standard 2 or 3” schedule sizes.
Primarily, the type of the pipe heater and their uniqueness makes sure that they are used in distinct and different areas of application as compared to other heaters in similar categories.
Pipe heaters have a special design and a unique ability to fit in places that are hard to comprehend. Making them suitable for use in densities that are extremely low of watts such as:
An interesting fact to point out at this moment is that the placement and the design of the pipe heaters allows the pipe heaters to escape contact with the liquid medium that is being carried in the pipe. While it is clear that the heating is indirect, it is vital to understand that the heating form of element to the pipe is used to make sure liquid sources are provided adequate heating.
One of the primary benefits of such an application is that this saves the fatigue of the tank being heated after it has been emptied out. Otherwise it may have incurred additional maintenance expenses on the businesses.
The structure of pipe heaters is different to the other kinds of heaters owing to their distinct shape and size. Most pipe heaters are made with the help of supportive ceramics. This allows them to withstand the high amounts of thermal heat that passes through the coils that support it. The thermocouples that come along with pipe heaters can also serve other purposes as well.
They can be used as heat intensity regulators because of their ability to relay temperature readings through to digital converters. Sometimes there is also the use of steel pipes in pipe heaters primarily because of their substantive amount of corrosion resistance and properties related to thermal transfers. The use of steel pipes in pipe heaters is common in the petrochemical industry. Having said that, the best type of heating material used in pipe heating is open coils. This is owing largely to their economic viability in such a competitive economic market.
