Brand Selection Recommendations

Project Requirements and Budget:

For large, critical, and high-risk projects (e.g., offshore platforms, large petrochemical plants, LNG projects): Prioritize international brands such as Symantec, Nexans, and Bartec, as their design support and international experience are significant advantages.

For general industrial projects and pipeline freeze protection and temperature protection (e.g., industrial pipelines, fire water mains, storage tanks). 

For projects requiring self-regulating heat tracing: Raychem is a pioneer in this field, while leading domestic brands such as Parker ECD are also reliable choices.

Certifications and Standards:

Ensure the product possesses the certifications required by the project location or industry, such as explosion-proof certifications (ATEX, IECEx, NEPSI), UL, CE, etc. International brands typically have comprehensive certifications, while leading domestic brands generally also hold national explosion-proof certifications and major international certifications.

Technical Support and After-Sales Service:

Contact the supplier to understand if they can assist you with thermal design and installation. A reliable brand should be able to provide detailed calculations and installation diagrams. Prompt after-sales service and an ample supply of spare parts are equally crucial.

Distribution Channels and Authenticity Verification:

Always purchase from authorized dealers or directly from the manufacturer, as counterfeit products exist in the market. Please verify the original manufacturer's certificate of conformity, test reports, and warranty.
