HEATER DESIGNING/MANUFACTURING/CONSTRUCTING METHOD AND HEATER USED IN THE SAME

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a heater designing/manufacturing/constructing method and a heater used in the same, capable of shortening the total term of works and to obtain sufficient construction period of the heater by remarkably shortening a term of works from "piping work" to "start of use" of a manufacturing device including piping needing heating and heat-retention. SOLUTION: In this heater designing/manufacturing/constructing method for constructing the heaters 8, 10, 12 at an outer periphery of the piping when layout, piping designing/manufacturing, and piping work of the manufacturing device 1 are performed in this order during a term of works from the layout to the completion of the manufacturing device 1 including the piping 6 needing heating and heat-retention, at least one heater 12 for adjustment, expandable and contractible along the longitudinal direction of the piping 6, and at least a heater of a fixed length having a prescribed length 10 are combined and used according to the necessity, the designing/manufacturing of the heaters 10, 12 are started before the piping work, and a length of the heater 12 is adjusted to be fitted to the piping 6.
