U THERMO PIPE
Resin-bonded high temperature resistant mineral wool, cylindrical sections. The
pipe sections are supplied plain, however they can be covered with canvas where
painting/colour coding is required, or covered with aluminium foil where a vapour
barrier is required.
APPLICATIONS
|
|
Thermal and acoustic insulation of pipe work in power generation, oil refineries,
chemical plants and on industrial steam and process pipe work.
|
QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
|
|
Isover products are manufactured according to ISO 9001:2008.
|
FEATURES & BENEFITS
|
- Mineral wool developed for high temperature applications
- Excellent lambda values (thermal conductivity) which reduces heat loss
- Shot free
- Lightweight products, easy to handle
- Soft touch, easy cutting
- Outstanding flexibility; pipe sections can be opened and closed several times without
breaking into two pieces
- Fast and efficient installation
- Chemically inert and when applied under controlled conditions will not promote or
cause corrosion
- Meets the European criteria in being non hazardous to health (EUCEB certificate)
|
FIRE PROPERTIES
|
- Non-combustible, fire class A1, according to EN 13 501
- Non-combustible - tested to SANS 10177-5
|
ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE
|
|
Will provide effective acoustical insulation where there is a need to reduce noise
levels from pipe work. Actual performance varies with thickness and surface finish.
|
CORROSIVITY
|
|
U Thermo Pipe typically contains less than 10ppm chloride (SABS Method 1119-1988).
|
DURABILITY
|
- Will not sustain vermin
- Will not breed or promote fungi, mould or bacteria
- Will not settle under vibration
- Rot proof
- Dimensionally stable but care must be exercised to limit moisture ingress as this
not only compromises the structural integrity but interferes with the thermal resistance
properties of the products as well.
|
THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY (according to EN 8 497)
|
|
HANDLING & STORAGE
|
|
All U Thermo Pipe products should be stored and handled with care to maintain ex-works
quality. The packaging (corrugated cartons) will provide some protection, but care
should be taken to keep the material dry at all times. Extra protection should always
be provided when storing the product outdoors.
|
THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY (according to EN 8 497)
|
|
MAXIMUM SERVICE TEMPERATURE (MST) under 500Pa (according to EN 14 707)
|
|
The Maximum Service Temperature according to EN 14 707 is the temperature for which
the deformation of the insulation material is less than 5% under a load of 500Pa
and when exposed to such temperature for a continuous period of 72 hours. This test
method is a more stringent evaluation of the highest permanent, operating temperature
the product can sustain.
