Do the steam pressure measurement pipelines and instruments need insulation?
Thread Content
As the title suggests, the steam temperature is 150, and the ambient temperature in winter is around minus 20 degrees Celsius or so
When selecting instruments, consider the operating temperature environment; it is not necessary to insulate the pressure transfer tubes
For steam measurement pipelines, isolation pipes should be installed first; insulation is also necessary. If the pipeline is long, a heating circuit is required as well； The steam main should also be insulated, followed by the drain valve.
It should be kept warm; heating elements may be necessary if required
It’s not necessary, but a condensation tank or a drain valve is required. Generally, the operating temperature of such instruments can reach minus 40 degrees, so there is no issue with using them
