3.2
external tracing
tracing with a tracing piping arranged outside the pipe

3.3
tracing piping
external tracing piping

3.4
jacket piping
piping composed of casing and an inner pipe

3.5
heat conduction grout
pasty substance which may be used with steam tracing piping system to improve heat transfer, with thermal conductivity and cohesiveness

3.6
thermostatic type steam trap
steam trap driven by condensate temperature change

3.7
thermodynamic type steam trap
steam trap driven by dynamic characteristics of condensate

3.8
mechanical type steam trap
steam trap driven by liquid level change of condensate
