PROCESS CONTROL
STEAM PIPE INSULATION
An easy and effective way to insulate steam lines to increase efficiency and reduce hazards.
Application
Steam is a common energy/heat source used in a wide variety of manufacturing and
Industrial operations. Common uses include freeze protection, process heating, radiant
heating (air), hot water heating, cleaning, moisturizing, humidifying, propulsion, power
generation, and much more. The steam is typically generated from large industrial boilers
and transported through a series of pipes and valves. These steam lines must be insulated
to ensure optimal system efficiency and employee safety. If left without insulation, large
amounts of energy can be lost, condensation can reduce effectiveness, and employees are
at risk of burn injuries and excessive heat from exposed steam lines.

Solution
BriskHeat’s Silver-Series removable cloth insulators are the perfect solution for insulating
steam transportation systems. They are easy to install, save energy, reduce condensation
problems, provide excellent surface protection, and improve overall system efficiency and
safety. The Silver Series Insulators are easily removable and reusable when maintenance
personnel must have quick access. A combination of standard size pipe, valve, and flange
insulators are easily configurable to fit most steam line systems. Standard insulators
are rated to 450°F (232°C), have an R-Value of 3.3, and are suitable for outdoor use.
Standard designs include hook and loop closures, silicone coated fiberglass cloth, and
fiberglass insulation. Valve covers and flange covers have draw-strings that tighten the
insulators around pipes to maximize efficiency. Custom insulators can also be designed to
fit nearly any shape and size including boilers and large storage tanks. There are a variety
of custom options available including color and high-temperature cloth materials rated up
to 1800°F (982°C) maximum exposure temperatures.
