Does a horizontal device with a diameter of 1400 require thermal insulation support?
Thread Content
Does a horizontal device with a diameter of 1400 require thermal insulation support? Insulation thickness: 40 mm, equipment length: 4500 mm.
As a supplementary note, how is insulation construction carried out in this case? The insulation material used is flame-retardant polyurethane foam plastic.
I’d like to ask the experts for their advice and share some experiences; thank you.
Horizontal equipment generally uses steel saddles for support; these are included at the bottom of the equipment when it leaves the factory, so no separate insulation support is needed. As for flame-retardant polyurethane foam plastic, it is a very common insulation material available on the market. Insulation contractors know how to use it nowadays; if you’re still not sure, search for “Insulation Project Construction Plan” on Baidu Wenku – there you’ll find many explanations regarding the methods of using polyurethane insulation materials.
To be precise, whether insulation or heat retention is required depends on the medium and the operating temperature. As for construction, it should be specified during the design phase; if the client requests it, then it will be carried out in accordance with the contract, otherwise it will be done according to the design requirements
