Equipment insulation issue
Thread Content
Dear everyone, may I ask for statistics on the insulation materials and *process piping used in your equipment? Specialized statistics for *equipment too? Thank you!
I answered the question regarding the insulation materials used for equipment: currently, for cleaner insulation materials, rare earths (expanded perlite) or rubber-plastic materials are used on the outside of hot equipment, while polyurethane tiles or PE sheets are used on the outside of cold equipment. The thickness and type of material chosen depend on the temperature level. Of course, rock wool and silicate products, which are used as other insulation materials, will also work, but their sealing properties are not as good as those of rare earth materials.
