Copper pipe insulation

Copper pipe insulation is one of the equipment that is used to control the correct transfer of energy in the equipment of various projects and insulation work. One of the most prominent applications of copper pipe insulation is the insulation of refrigeration and thermal systems, cold and hot air channels, tanks, fluid and gas transmission pipes in various industries such as oil, gas, petrochemical, chemical, automotive, power plant, pharmaceutical and construction. In order to save energy and prevent problems caused by condensate, he pointed out. If we want to categorize these insulations based on their application, the first category includes older insulations such as glass wool and stone wool, which do not have acceptable resistance to heat, and polyethylene elastomer insulation, also known as white foam. It is said that it belongs to the second category. The third type, which is widely used in various applications today, is closed-cell elastomeric insulation, which does not have the disadvantages of the previous two types and has high resistance.

 

Types of copper pipe insulation

• Mineral fiber insulation     Mineral fiber insulation or so-called stone wool is generally used in heating systems and air conditioning systems and has significant resistance to heat (up to 700 degrees Celsius). A protective layer known as polyisobutylene (PBI) is placed in the body of this type of insulation so that you can use them well both indoors and outdoors.
• Class nitrile foam rubber insulation Nitrile foam rubber insulation is a type of flexible insulation that has very good resistance. This insulation prevents energy loss and increases the efficiency of copper pipes for home use, air conditioning. Class nitrile foam insulation is available in different formats and sizes such as 2-meter undivided pipes, rolls and sheets.
• Cellular glass insulation Cellular glass insulation uses a type of glass that creates a strong shape and structure as a result of processing. This insulation has a high resistance to impact and pressure, and due to its property of not absorbing water, it is used in the bottom of tanks and insulation of underground pipelines.
• Rubber insulation (EPDM Foam) EPDM Foam rubber insulation is another type of copper pipe insulation that is mostly used for outdoor projects. This type of insulation has an ultraviolet protective layer and therefore it can be used in solar heating systems. Of course, one thing you should pay attention to is that for outdoor use, the thickness of the pipe insulation must be at least nineteen millimeters.
• Mineral fiber insulation – foil covering Mineral fiber insulation can be used for heating, ventilation and air conditioning. This insulation can withstand temperatures up to 700 degrees Celsius. This type of insulation can be used inside and outside the house. Of course, if it is used outdoors, a protection called Polyisobutylene should be used to cover it.
• Phenolic foam insulation – covered foil This type of insulation is available in any type of thickness and causes a very significant reduction in energy. Phenolic foam insulation can be used in the heating industry, air conditioning, petrochemical and marine sectors, and also phenolic foam insulation is available as slabs and sheets. It should be noted that the foil coating can be used in the temperature range of minus 50 degrees to 120 degrees Celsius and it has good heat resistance in this range. This type of foam insulation can be used outdoors and has no limitations.

 

The most important applications of copper pipe insulation

Today, copper pipe insulation can be used to insulate various parts of air conditioning systems, including: air ducts, water and refrigerant piping in chillers and VRF systems, as well as air conditioner pipes, etc. In addition, this insulation is also used in the equipment of other industries such as oil and gas, pharmaceutical industries, shipbuilding industries, etc. On average, a 2 cm thick insulation can reduce sound intensity by 35 decibels. Also, among the applications of copper pipe insulation in other fields of work, the following can be mentioned:

• Insulation of all types of water pipes
• Insulation of installation pipes
• Insulation of the engine of the heating house
• Insulation of steel pipes

 

Copper pipe insulation sizes

• Copper pipe insulation, size 1/4
• Copper pipe insulation, size 3/8
• Copper pipe insulation, size 1/2
• Copper pipe insulation, size 5/8

 

The price of copper pipe insulation

Copper pipe connections and insulators are one of the most widely used equipment related to energy transmission and electrification projects, which have a great impact on the safety of residential, commercial, and utility complexes. If the material you choose for any reason lacks the necessary quality or is not welded well, refrigerant leakage may occur in those places in the future. To know the price list of these products, you can contact the contact numbers listed on the site. For example, the price of a copper knee is approximately 25,000 Tomans and the price of copper pipe screw connections is between 30,000 and 100,000 Tomans, of course, these titles may undergo changes in the new year.

 

Conclusion

Copper insulated pipes are used as one of the most widely used equipment used in the transmission of heat, electricity, etc. in the equipment of various projects. These insulators have a high resistance to heat and water vapor, and in fact, a low heat transfer coefficient, so this feature makes the pipes and facilities that are insulated with this type of insulation safe from corrosion and rust.
