SafeTrace DLS-IT is a metallic tracer tube covered with
composite materials1 that lowers thermal conductance to
reduce heat transfer. SafeTrace provides a reduced yet
predictable heat output along a traced pipe to prevent hot
spots and overheating. It replaces bare metallic tracers
that often waste energy and stress pipe works by raising
pipe temperatures much higher than necessary or desired.
SafeTrace DLS-IT tracers utilize a safety yellow identification
jacket to signify materials potentially dangerous such as
steam per ASME/ANSI A13.1-1996. All SafeTrace IT
tracers also comply with ASTM Std C-1055, which requires
that human skin temperature be less than 136.4°F (58°C)
when in contact with a hot surface for five seconds.3
SafeTrace DLS-IT is supplied in long length coils and may
be run continuously from the steam supply manifold, along
the pipe and over to the condensate return manifold.
