Does anyone know where could I find some comprehensive information(handbooks,tutorials, worked examples), regarding the sizing of Glycol Heat Tracing(Oil Industry?

I need the Glycol Heat Tracing Design procedure for NPS 24",12" 30" pipes.

Kindly regards,

Since you didn't mention any heating duty here is one approach you may want to take a look at the following system.
We use this system on some very heat sensitive chemicals.

Trace Heating design takes into account many factors - including temperature required, pipe size, insulation type & thickness, max/ min ambient conditions, hazardous area type if applicable, criticallity of temperature control, pipe material to name but a few.

Raychem are one of the largest Trace Heating equipment manufacturers, and they have a significant amount of information on their website, including design guides -
