MODULE 7 (PIPING INSTALLATION AND INSULATION )
PIPE INSTALLATIONS
UNDERGROUND SYSTEM
OVERHEAD SYSTEM (Used as support systems )
INSULATIONS (Insulation is the resisting property of a material against heat, sound and electricity)
CLASSIFICATION OF INSULATORS
INorganic thermal insulators (This category includes important inorganic thermal insulators such as asbestos, glass wool, rock wool, aluminium foils, magnesia plastic)
Organic thermal insulators (Organic thermal insulators are naturally occurring materials of quite low densities and they posses a very large number of small air pockets scattered throughout them.)
INSULATING FACTORS
PORES
PRESENCE OF MOISTURE
PROPERTIES OF INSULATORS
It should have sufficient resistance to vibration and shock.
It should be mechanically stable at the temperature where it is kept.
It should be chemically stable to surrounding conditions of high temperature.
Its should be of low cost .
Its thermal conductivity should be low.
It should be fire proof.
It should resists moisture absorption.
It should be strong enough to bear the load applied on it.
THERMAL INSULATION (Thermal insulations are materials that insulate the components of mechanical systems)
