Who knows what the best insulation materials for steam pipes in refineries are at the moment?
The best insulation material for steam pipes is rock wool.
Insulation materials include various types such as silicate sepiolite composite insulation materials, rock wool, glass wool, aluminum silicate, rubber and plastic materials, and polyurethane; rock wool is commonly used due to its reasonable price and good insulation performance
Hello! Our company specializes in producing Class A insulating material—foam glass. If you’re looking for suitable insulation materials, we’d be happy to discuss this with you! Based on mutual benefit and making friends! 13600557923 QQ: 316059409. Foam glass has relatively excellent performance compared to current insulation materials. Its operating temperature range is -195 to 450 degrees Celsius, and its bulk density is low, around 160 kg/m3 ; 2. It has a low thermal conductivity, below 0.058 W/m·K, with stable thermal performance ; 3 Impermeable ; 4 Low water absorption, about 0.2% ; 5 Non-flammable ; 6 No mildew or corrosion ; 7 High strength: compressive strength ≥ 0.7 Mpa, flexural strength ≥ 0.5 Mpa ; 8 Resistant to acidic corrosion (except hydrogen fluoride) ; 9 is non-toxic and contains no CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) or HCFCs (hydrochlorofluorocarbons) ; 10. It has stable physicochemical properties, dimensional stability, and is easy to cut. Application areas of foam glass insulation panels: 1. Low-temperature pipelines, equipment, and storage tanks; 2. Low-temperature systems in hydrocarbon processing ; 3. Cold storage and refrigerated buildings: 4. Low- and medium-temperature insulation systems in pharmaceuticals ; 5. Steel liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen storage tanks and pipelines ; 6. Underground steam and cooling water pipes ; 7. Chimney lining ; 8. Offshore oil platforms ; 9. Hydrocarbon production system ; 10. Insulation for interior and exterior walls ; 11. Indoor sound absorption applications ; 12. Roof waterproofing and insulation ; 13. Color-coated steel roof ; 14. Thermal bridge insulation ; 15. Central air conditioning chilled water pipes l6. Industrial building floors.
Is it okay to use rock wool for insulation in steam pipes buried underground, with asphalt cloth wrapped around the outside?
