Insulation material issues
Thread Content
So much insulation material. Choosing insulation materials for chemical pipelines is confusing. Those who have experience in job hunting, please help explain the specific methods and process for making such choices. The more detailed, the better. I checked many standards, but I can’t tell
Our insulation materials are all made of magnesium aluminum silicate; rock wool is no longer used due to issues such as corrosion and contamination. The casing is usually made of galvanized iron sheet. However, for applications with severe corrosion (such as coastal areas, refineries that process high-sulfur crude oil, and facilities producing sulfuric acid), aluminum sheet is the preferred choice.
It depends on how you maintain the temperature – whether it’s to keep it cold or warm – as the insulation materials used vary accordingly

If you are looking for an appropriate insulation material, we can discuss this further together! Based on mutual benefit and making friends! 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, around 0.2% ； 5 Does not burn ； 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.
