Can anyone recommend any software for calculating requirements for glycol (and steam?) tracing on piping, ie. numbers and size of tracers, use of heat transfer cement, different hold temperatures, etc. There seems to be tons of programs for electric tracing, haven't been able to find one for gylcol.

Thanks,
Dave C.

well, it seems to me that since you know the duty/sqft for electric heating tracing, you should easily be able to determine the same amount for glycol or steam on a per ft of tubing or otherwise basis.

good luck!
