Pipe insulation refers to the technical measure of applying an insulation layer to the surface of heating or thermal pipes. This reduces ineffective heat loss of the heat medium during transportation, maintains specific parameters of the heat medium to meet user requirements, and slows down the rate of heat dissipation and conduction. Heating pipes in urban systems or thermal pipes in high-temperature industries all require insulation measures.
01 Required Properties for Pipe Insulation Materials
(1) Low thermal conductivity
(2) Fireproof and non-combustible
(3) Corrosion and aging resistance
(4) High-temperature resistance
(5) Excellent thermal insulation effect
02 Selection of Pipe Insulation Materials
The Importance of Insulation Materials for High-Temperature Pipes
Selecting appropriate pipe insulation materials is crucial for effectively minimizing heat loss during the transport of the heat medium and saving fuel consumption.
Ceramic Fiber Blanket for High-Temperature Pipes
Ceramic fiber blanket can be chosen as the insulation layer for thermal pipes in high-temperature applications. Ceramic fiber blankets feature high porosity, are purely inorganic products, and fit more tightly against the pipe wall, leading to their high usage rate in pipe insulation. Aladdin's ceramic fiber blankets offer temperature resistance options from 800 to 1260 degrees Celsius. These blankets are made with spun fiber for enhanced toughness, are white in color, double-side needled, have regular dimensions, and provide outstanding thermal insulation performance. Furthermore, they are cost-effective, making them an ideal choice for insulating high-temperature pipes.
03 Safety Production Responsibility
Explanation of Pipe Insulation Thickness
The greater the temperature difference between the medium inside the system and the ambient temperature, the greater the thickness of the ceramic fiber blanket required.
The less air circulation in the engineering system, the greater the required thickness.
Fastening of the Insulation Layer
The ceramic fiber blanket insulation layer should be fastened with double strands of 14-16# galvanized iron wire. The fastening spacing should not exceed 200 mm.
