Pipe insulation is a specialized thermal insulation material that is used to insulate the pipes of sewage, water supply, chimneys, steam pipelines, heating mains and trunk pipelines.
Types of thermal insulation of pipes
According to the material:
Basalt;
Foam (polystyrene foam);
From fiberglass;
From foamed polyethylene.
By form:
Shell;
Casing;
Liquid thermal insulation;
Leaf;
Rolled.
Application
Heater is used to isolate metal -plastic, foamy, plastic, PPU and metal (steel, copper, iron) pipes.
Synthetic heater is used for underground pipelines, since they are not susceptible to the negative effects of moisture. For sewer pipes, it is most convenient to use the shell, and for smoke stoves – mineral basalt mats.
Installation of the shell is very simple – they are simply snapped with grooves and slopes in advance with glue. When laying mineral insulation, you use clamps or metal (tin) sheets. Liquid thermal insulation materials are simply applied with a brush like enamel paint.
