【Heat retention and corrosion prevention】For pipeline insulation, what material is suitable for the insulating layer?
Thread Content
I see that designs use either aluminum sheet, galvanized iron sheet, or painted iron sheet. Which material is actually the most practical? What are the criteria for making a choice?
I think aluminum foil is better, but it fades easily
What are the reasons for aluminum sheet discoloration?
Compared to the two types of metal sheets, I personally think aluminum sheet is better; its corrosion resistance and lifespan are significantly superior to those of iron sheets. It’s just a bit more expensive, but cost-effectiveness still needs to be considered. All of our new projects use aluminum sheets.
In terms of market acceptance, the use of aluminum sheets is increasing. After long-term use, the appearance of the tin becomes quite worn out ； Aluminum foil will be much better.
Aluminum sheet is the common choice; the galvanized version has a short lifespan
The ordinary iron sheets used in construction here rusted out completely after about three years； I used aluminum sheeting in the first two years; after some time, corrosion wasn’t a big issue, but it did look really old ； Everything that isn’t new has become painted iron sheeting, and the visual effect is nice: lol
Painted iron sheet has greater strength than aluminum sheet
Which is more cost-effective: galvanized iron sheet, painted iron sheet, or aluminum sheet? Are there any standards for this?
There shouldn’t be any standards for this, right!
