Why aren’t wooden blocks used for the pipe supports of insulated pipes?

If insulating blocks are not used for the cold-insulating bushings, they will freeze, while insulated pipes will only experience heat loss. Just as when using pipe supports, insulated pipe supports are used for cold pipes, while welded pipe supports are sufficient for hot pipes (insulated pipe supports are used for pipes with very high temperatures in order to reduce heat loss).

Wood blocks are also a type of thermal insulation material, but it is necessary to use wood of high quality – such as red pine – which should be carbonized and coated with asphalt or other substances to prevent corrosion. About 10 years ago, red pine was very popular; nowadays, thanks to technological advances, composite materials like foam glass can be used directly as thermal insulation materials
