Heat Tracing is a process of heating a pipeline system to prevent
-
Expansion
-
Clustering
-
Freezing
-
Carbonizing
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Heat tracing is an active heating method that maintains temperatures in pipelines above freezing point. It prevents ice formation that could block flow or rupture pipes. Carbonizing (D) refers to carbon deposition, while expansion (A) and clustering (B) are unrelated to thermal protection.
