Why do leaks occur easily after insulation is applied to areas such as the flanges of control valves and flow meters, the long-bolt clamp flanges, and the steel ring seals?
Thread Content
Today, in the detailed guidelines for adiabatic management, it was stated that areas such as the flanges of control valves and flow meters, the long-bolt clamp flanges, and steel ring seals are prone to leakage when insulated; therefore, insulation is not recommended, and only an aluminum sheet shield for protection from rain should be used. ”Please, experts, help explain why leaks are likely to occur in cases where insulation is used for packaging
The best person to explain this issue accurately is those who have compiled the \"Detailed Rules for Adiabatic Management\". First, I want to know the cause of the leakage – is it due to corrosion caused by moisture absorption in the insulation? Does insulation change the structural changes of the connectors? Insulation is used to maintain the temperature of the fluid; what is the necessary connection between protecting against rain and insulation? :Lol, if there’s a reasonable explanation, please share it with us. Thanks! :)
Thank you. I asked, and the reply was that it is to prevent accumulated leaked media from causing an accident
“For areas such as the flanges of control valves and flow meters, the long-bolt clamp flanges, and steel ring seals, leakage is likely to occur after insulation is applied; therefore, it is not recommended to use insulation, only an aluminum sheet shield for protection from rain. ”This sentence has a problem with its description; it should read: “Areas such as the flanges of the control valve and flow meter, the long-bolt clamp flanges, and the steel ring seals are prone to leakage and require maintenance, so insulation is not recommended – only an aluminum sheet shield for protection from rain is advised.” ” The leakage is not caused by insulation; rather, it occurs frequently due to the ease of leakage, which requires regular inspection and maintenance. Additionally, it is difficult to identify the source of leakage after insulation is applied, so insulation is not recommended.

In fact, this reason doesn’t hold water when it comes to identifying the areas that really need to be kept warm. There are two essential factors for heat retention: one is to prevent heat loss, and the other is to absorb external cold energy in order to purify and solidify the medium. (There is also another approach that involves ignoring the noise.) In the first case, what if the production conditions required by the medium are not met due to cooling? If it is the second case, how should medium curing and crystallization be explained? In my opinion, it’s just trying to make sense of something that’s complete nonsense. When such problems do arise, it is necessary to install ventilation systems, online detectors for harmful element levels, cameras, and sensors.
They’re just mediocre scoundrels from the mountains; they’re only a little better than me. Logically, those who set questions need to be extremely careful; it’s different from answering questions. This is something that falls under norms; it must be able to stand up to scrutiny. One can’t just assume things on their own.
Hehe, my apologies ====================== Actually, insulation jackets work well for these parts as they make disassembly easier
