Industrial Heat Trace
Electric heat tracing for freeze protection and process temperature maintenance on pipes, tanks, and instruments.
Entherm supplies Nelson Heat Trace systems from Emerson, from heating cable to controls and connection kits. Tell us about your piping and conditions and we will help you choose the right cable type, control method, and accessories for the job.
Heating Cable Types
Self-Regulating Cable
Heat output adjusts automatically to temperature at every point along the cable. A common choice for freeze protection and moderate temperature maintenance.
Nelson self-regulating cable →Constant-Wattage Cable
Parallel constant-wattage cable delivers a fixed output per foot and can be cut to length in the field for process maintenance applications.
Nelson constant-wattage cable →Mineral-Insulated (MI) Cable
Series-resistance cable with an Alloy 825 sheath and MgO insulation, custom built for high temperatures, high power, and demanding or hazardous locations.
Nelson MI cable →Controls and Accessories
Heat Trace Controllers
From single-circuit digital controllers with alarms and ground-fault detection to multi-circuit monitoring systems for large plants.
Nelson CM GP controller →Circuit Management Systems
The Nelson CM3+ manages many heat trace circuits with RTD monitoring and continuous system health checks.
Nelson CM3+ →Connection Kits and Accessories
Power connection, splice, and end kits plus thermostats, sensors, and installation hardware for a complete, protected circuit.
Nelson accessories →Typical Applications
- Freeze protection for water, fire, and process lines
- Process temperature maintenance

- Tank and vessel heating
- Instrument and impulse line tracing
- Hazardous (classified) locations
What We Need to Quote Your Heat Trace
- Pipe size and length (include valves, flanges, supports)
- Pipe material (metallic or plastic)
- Insulation type and thickness
- Maintain temperature
- Minimum ambient temperature
- Supply voltage
- Hazardous-area classification, if any
- Control method (ambient, line sensing, monitoring)
