We usually outsource heating cables and other products that can bring fresh minds to our business, and it can also free time up for innovation, engineering and other vital tasks.

Heat Tracing is the application and service of heating pipes, equipment, or instrumentation to offset heat loss due to a lower ambient temperature, At Canstal, heat tracing is a process that can be applied mainly through electricity, providing a basic foundation of the most common heat tracing systems and components through engineered cables and controlled by engineered sensors. Heat tracing service is much more complex and requires far more engineering design considerations especially in the hazard areas in the oil refineries.
