Abstract
Various methods of heating in welding of pipelines are investigated. It is recommended to prepare an addition to the normalization–technical documents, in order to expand the range of application of KEN-type electric heaters in preheating and various types of electric resistance heaters, and also to remove stringent requirements on the control of preheat temperature from these documents.
