SURVEYS
Our Cordtape Heat Loss Analyser tool gives you the data you need to prioritise upgrades, justify investment, and drive real energy-efficiency gains across your site.
CORDTAPE HEAT LOSS ANALYSER TOOL
Our Cordtape Heat Loss Analyser tool is a thermal audit solution for industrial and commercial piping systems. It calculates heat loss for every pipe section, valve, and flange, both with and without insulation. In addition, it pairs these results with infrared imaging to provide clear visual evidence.
By combining precise Pipe Heat Loss Calculation (PHLC) reports with thermal images, our tool highlights exactly where heat is escaping. As a result, this component-level analysis uncovers hidden losses and quantifies potential savings for each fitting. Furthermore, each system component is analysed in detail, with graphical validation to support the findings.
Key Features of the Cordtape Heat Loss Analyser Tool
- Component-Level Reports: Cordtape Heat Loss Analyser produces a detailed report for every valve, flange, and pipe segment. It considers pipe diameter, insulation type, component type, fluid temperature, and ambient conditions. As a result, it calculates accurate heat loss and displays expected annual energy savings in kWh.
- Process-Specific Savings: Reports are tailored to the specific process, including low-temperature hot water or saturated steam systems. In addition, they account for site conditions and operating hours. Therefore, the tool shows exactly how much energy is wasted by uninsulated or poorly insulated components..
- Thermal Imaging Integration: The system integrates infrared images of the pipe network. These images reveal insulation defects that may not be visible to the naked eye. Consequently, heat loss becomes immediately apparent, supporting and validating the calculated data.
- Actionable Output: Each PHLC report ranks components by energy loss, making it easy to identify priority areas. From this, associated costs can be calculated and quick wins identified. In addition, reports include clear tables and annotated images, allowing engineers and managers to act with confidence.
Benefits & ROI
- Quick Payback: Insulation improvements typically deliver rapid returns. In many cases, costs are recovered within months rather than years.
- Energy & Cost Savings: Even small losses across multiple components can significantly increase energy costs. By addressing these issues, facilities can reduce consumption and lower bills. In fact, research suggests UK pipework insulation alone could save energy equivalent to 863,000 homes and cut 3.5 million tonnes of CO₂ annually (buildingbetterhealthcare.com).
- Improved Safety & Compliance: The Health and Safety Executive requires employers to maintain “a reasonable working temperature” (HSE). Therefore, identifying heat loss can also highlight areas that may fall short of compliance and present safety risks.
- Sustainability & Emissions: Reducing heat loss directly lowers fuel consumption and emissions. As a result, this supports corporate sustainability targets and net-zero goals

CAD MODELLING
Our patterning and mapping service ensures every removable jacket fits accurately and installs without guesswork. Initially, our engineers carry out a detailed site survey and measurement of your equipment.
From this, we produce full CAD drawings for each individual jacket, complete with part numbers. In addition, we can create a 3D assembly model showing the exact position of each jacket on complex plant items such as turbines, heat exchangers, or valve systems.
As a result, this clearly annotated mapping simplifies installation and maintenance. Furthermore, it provides a reliable reference for future retrofits or repeat orders.
