Calculations
Step-1 Calculating Delta (T)
Delta T = Tm-Ta = 88 C
Step-2 Calculating Pipe Heat Loss (Qp)
(Qp) as Dia=323.9 mm & Delta T= 88 60 Watt/m ASTM C547
Step-3 Adjusting for Insulation
Insulation adjustment factor 1 Cellular Insulation
Qfinal = Qp X Ia 60 Watt/m
1) First Step is to calculate the foreseen heat loose based on the piping system size and insulation type and thickness
The following calculation is extracted from IEEE 515 Code Appendix A

1.1) Input Data

T1 (Maintenance Temp.)= 90 C 194 F
T2 (Minimum Ambient Temp.)= 2 C 35.5 F
Insulation Type Fiber Glass NA NA NA
Insulation Thickness= 75 mm 0.075 Meters
Pipe Size (NPS)= 12 inch 0.3239 Meters
Di= 323.9 mm 0.3239 Meters 12.75 inch
Do= 473.9 mm 0.4739 Meters 18.65 inch
1.2.) Finding Insulation K-Factor (Thermal Conductivity Factor) for insulation material based on temperature

Km (@ 90 C )= 0.32 Btu*inch(h*(ft^2)*F) 0.04608 W/(m C)

Ka (@ 2 C )= 0.25 Btu*inch(h*(ft^2)*F) 0.036 W/(m C)
K(mean)=Km+Ka/2 0.285 Btu*inch(h*(ft^2)*F) 0.04104 W/(m C)

1.3.) Calculating Q (Heat Loss in Pipe)

Ln Do/Di = 0.3805615028 Meters
∆T = 88 C
Q(Heat Loss pipe) = 20.0397765866 W/ft h

2) Selecting Tracing Cable Type

Pipe Line Length 62 meter 203.36 ft
Plant Voltage Provided 240 Volt

Cable Resistance Required 0.0695021983 Ohm/ft required

Used Cable Type MIQ-70E3H-2S

Cable Resistance as per vendor documents 0.07 Ohm/ft required

Actual Cable output supplied by the cable

Watt/ft = 19.8972646744 W/ft h 2 cables will be used as the selcted type is MIQ-70E3H-2S so total watt/ft = 39.5
Accordingly the Actual supplied Current from the selected cable type
I (Current) = Watts / Volts 16.8596156008 amperes
