Thermal Insulation
A provision made to retard heat flow from a hot
surface to a cold environment and from cold surface
to a warm environment.
This simple device in Industry has acquired
enormous importance in recent times for what it can
do for us if we were to give a very little extra
attention
Todays need is for Correctly designed and well installed
insulation system.
Which is Easy on the purse
Speedy to erect
Stays maintenance-free & Efficient in service
An efficient insulation in place serves our best interests
in todays context
Economy: safety :smoother process control at Plant
level
Substantial reduction of fuel costs & enhanced
profitability at the corporate level
Reduction of Greenhouse gas emissions at the larger

SUSTAINABILITY
Thermal transmission, or the transfer of heat
from a warmer body to a colder body may in
principal take place in the following ways:
1) Conduction - Transfer of heat through
solid/liquid material.
2) Convection - The moving of heat through
moving fluid or gas.
3) Radiation - Transfer of heat by means of
electromagnetic waves.
Heat Conduction
Conduction is heat transfer by means of molecular agitation within a material
without any motion of the material as a whole. The higher speed particles will
collide with the slower ones with a net transfer of energy to the slower ones.
For heat transfer between two plane surfaces, the rate of conduction heat
transfer is:
Q= heat transferred in time =
K = thermal conductivity of the barrier
A = area
T = temperature
d= thickness of barrier

The exact rate of Heat Loss is very complicated to calculate on
theoretical ground alone, since it shall be affected by -
Air movement on casing surface / Ambient wind velocity
Colour / Texture of the casing ( e.g. casing emissivity)
Vertical and horizontal orientation of the casing
Exposure to thermal radiation,(e.g. Sun light)

Economic reasons for Thermal insulation
in industry
Reduces fuel consumption,
and hence overall cost of
operation
Reduces capacity

Benefits of higher profits to
owner
Savings in Project Capital costs
Thermal Insulation
The function of Thermal Insulation is performed not
just by a single material, but by an assembly of
engineered provisions or components termed as,
Thermal Insulation System. As called for in all
such works, there is need for careful design of all
such elements.
From this, we can see that insulation is a major tool
in improving energy availability.
The task of the insulation designer is to
evolve system which fit the need-like a
glove to a hand that would wear it.

Insulation Finishes
The outer cover over insulation..
Weather Barriers/ claddings- These all have one
basic function - to protect insulation from the
known hazards like external media, mechanical
abuse etc.
External coverings are what we get to seeing in a
completed plant or pipeline. Aesthetics becomes a
secondary, but significant role assigned to this
provision.

Metal Cladding- some important issues..
As can be easily appreciated, all metal cladding materials need
careful selection from external corrosion point of view as a first
consideration.
However, another important aspect concerns corrosion from
within- contributed by condensation of vapours from the
insulation system on the inner surface.
Since most insulants are faintly alkaline, such condensed water
attacks the metal particularly Aluminium and causes it to pit
and fail as a barrier.
All metal cladding, as a rule need protection on the inner
surface- like a factory laminated Poly Surlyn treatment.

For Mechanical strength & lower thickness
Vapour Barrier in cold service
Installed on the high vapour pressure side-I.e., the
warmer side of the insulation systemprior to
cladding), Vapour Barrier (or Vapour retarder as it is
referred sometimes) is designed to arrest entry of
moist vapour into the insulation, causing it to soak
and possibly to freezing.
Insulating Material, when wet can be 30 times more
conductive and would no longer be an insulant!
Freezing of water is always accompanied by
volumetric expansion resulting in rupture.
In cold insulation system, therefore, the
soundness of the VB virtually determines how
good the insulation system is.
Vapour Barrier in cold service
Weather cum Vapour Barrier
There are a set of materials, which serve both as a
weather barrier and vapour retarder at the same
time.
These are mostly in the form of Mastics- trowelled
or brush applied- which set to becoming a tough
outer skin.
Aluminium foil laminated insulation pipesections.
APPLICATION SPECIFICATIONS FOR

COLD INSULATION SEQUENCE OF APPLICATION
Insulation Pipe supports
Todays plants need a wide expanse of
extremely low temperature piping.
Unless supports are highly insulating, the
exposed surfaces would attract condensation
and very heavy corrosion at these important
bearing points- with corroded load bearing
points and avoidable unsafe slippery floors
underneath.
SUPERTHERM Pipe supports
These are made from Highest efficiency insulants
i.e., Urethanes, made to high density to afford an
Engineered load bearing capacity.
These are made in all the possible shapes and with
specific features- for sliding, guide and anchor
duties.
Support design and selection are very vital design
inputs for the Process Piping Engineeer / designer.

Lloyd Standing Seam 2000 Panels
The panels are fixed by a concealed metal clips fastening
system held between flanges of panels which are mechanically
seamed together to result in a robust and water-tight seam.
A seaming tool forms the adjacent panels into a vertical seam
that includes the clip.
Clips are fastened to Insulation Support Rings with vertical
spacing of 2000 mm and horizontal spacing of 450 mm
Clips have provision to accommodate thermal expansion and
contraction

The clip cross section is chosen as per wind load requirements.
