Requirements for preventing cold damage in low-temperature pipelines
Thread Content
When the pipeline temperature exceeds 60 degrees, insulation must be installed to prevent burns； So for low-temperature pipelines, is there a certain temperature threshold below which insulation is necessary to prevent people from suffering frostbite if they come into contact with them?
The possibility of what you’re describing is probably low; if the medium is at a low temperature, it will definitely provide insulation, and if the surrounding environment is cold, you’ll surely wear thick clothing.

For details, please refer to GB/T8175-2008 \"Guidelines for Thermal Insulation Design of Equipment and Piping\"

Low-temperature pipes do not pose a risk of freezing people; generally, the outer part of such pipes, where the temperature is low, is covered with ice, while in areas where the temperature is not so low, there is condensed water. With ice packs, the temperature isn’t so low, so it won’t cause frostbite
Pipelines that are below room temperature need to be insulated; otherwise, severe condensation will occur on them. This not only poses a risk of frostbite but also has a negative impact on the corrosion resistance of the pipelines.
The commonly seen “thermal insulation” is just one factor; another factor is its role in reducing noise. The real purpose of \"insulating\" pipes is to maintain heat, not to prevent burns. It is mainly done due to process requirements.

Pipe “insulation” is referred to as “thermal insulation” in standards. There are two types of pipeline insulation: one is “thermal insulation”” ； One type is protective insulation, which aims to prevent people from getting burned; this is conditional. Specifically, Article 3.0.1 of the \"GB 50264-2013 Code for Design of Thermal Insulation of Industrial Equipment and Piping\" sets out such requirements, which are mandatory. For reference
