MINERAL WOOL PIPE INSULATION

HEAT UP SCHEDULE

The binder used in the pipe-sections is organic, and we

recommend the heat-up procedure below for insulation

with operating temperatures from 350F to 1200F.

During commissioning, the inner part of the resin

material will start a controlled decomposition when

the internal temperature of the insulation exceeds

480F (250C). Provide adequate ventilation to prevent

build-up of gases.

DESCRIPTION

Mineral Wool Pipe Insulation is a precision cut pipe

covering composed of high density mineral wool. It is

produced in the form of two half cylinders and can be

supplied either plain, with an all service jacket (ASJ) or

with a foil scrim kraft (FSK) type facing. Mineral wool pipe

insulation is available in three foot lengths in sizes from

1/2" IPS through 20" IPS and wall thicknesses from 1" to

4". Sizes over 20" IPS are available in curved segments.

USES

Mineral Wool Pipe Insulation can be used in a wide

range of applications for hot and cold piping ranging

from -120 to 1200F (-50 to 650C) making it

ideal for use within:

High temperature industrial process plants, power

stations, petrochemical complexes, etc. for steam and

process pipework

Commercial hot/cold water

Refrigerated water and similar areas

ADVANTAGES

Easy Fabrication - Only a knife needed for the most

intricate shapes.

Good Compressive Strength - Mineral Wool resists

compression and mechanical damage.
