Types shell for insulating pipes in Krasnoyarsk

Advantages and polyurethane foam shell.

It is marketed in two forms.In the first - it looks like a hollow cylinder with a slot.In the second - consisting of two components, which are joined to each other.Some of the prefabricated shell equipped with a so-called system of "groove-ridge" and some have the usual smooth edge.

For starters, let's talk about the shell in the form of a cylinder with a slot, of which polyethylene foam part.She gained trust due to its flexible material, and that it can be mounted on a pipe with a different diameter.Operating temperature ranges from minus 40 to plus 95 degrees.Naturally, there are also disadvantages.The first - like polyethylene absorbs moisture.In this regard, it will have to cover the means for waterproofing.Second - shell requires additional support (usually used scotch tape on the pipe surface).Apart from recording, he serves as a kind of waterproofing.

The second type consists of a foam shell.It is a little expensive, but it is justified.The material is more rigid in the constituent elements have a lock, and inarticulate edge.It absorbs virtually no moisture, and maintains the operating temperature range of minus 50 to plus 80 degrees.It is this shell insulated urban highways.

shell of polyurethane - used in extreme conditions.It has better performance and, of course, is much more expensive.Basically, it is used in the production plants due to the operating temperature, which ranges from minus 180 to plus 130 degrees.

In addition to ease of installation and installation without additional fasteners, the shell of polyurethane foam and positively stands out in terms of its specific gravity.It is easy, and therefore does not weigh down the structure.Reliable and good thermal insulation of pipes provides the lowest thermal conductivity and minimal moisture absorption.Plus, the shell of the foam does not attract a variety of rodents, and thus the risk of damage to a minimum.The material is not peculiar infestation of mold and fungus.This heater can last for more than fifty years, thus, there is a possibility of its secondary use.

mounting shell for insulating pipes.

Before installing the shell, make sure that the pipeline is safe.If detected any leaks, carry out repair work, remove the reasons because of which there were problems, and only then proceed to the installation.

Do not forget that the pipe surface to be treated with corrosion preventative paint or primer.In small tubes, a heater mounted in two parts.For better fixation, we want to advise you to let the joints in the Extension.On the average diameter of the pipeline, the shell is mounted, which consists of several parts, and can not leave the gap between the heater elements.It is best to glue the joints with duct tape.On the large-diameter pipe is additionally installed wire, steel tape or clamps.

Today, it is assumed that it is this way of insulation of pipes is considered the most popular not only in Krasnoyarsk, but also in the whole country.It confirmed its effectiveness and feasibility.

If you want to simplify the installation work on the pipe insulation, certainly use the shell of polyurethane foam.
