Does anyone know how the insulation thickness of the rubber-plastic insulation material K-FLEX is determined?
Thread Content
There is an LNG receiving station project where the owner’s drawings specify the use of K-FLEX’s rubber-plastic insulation material. The medium in question is LNG, with a minimum pipe diameter of DN15 and a maximum pipe diameter of DN250. Does anyone know how the insulation thickness for K-FLEX is determined?

The insulation thickness should be calculated using the dew prevention method specified in standard GB50264-2013; thereafter, this thickness is verified through the maximum allowable heat loss method. The calculated thickness is also greatly influenced by the environmental temperature and humidity at the location of the project. K-FLEX is an Italian flexible insulation material; its Chinese name is Kaimen Fulues. It can withstand temperatures as low as -200°C. Production facilities are located in Wujiang, Suzhou, in China. It is used in applications involving liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen, LNG, and other similar substances. It belongs to the category of high-end insulation materials. Compared to traditional insulation materials, its main advantages include low heat loss, long service life, and ease of installation and maintenance.
