Insulation layer for heat tracing and insulation of heat tracing belt

Due to the impact of the external environment on pipelines and storage tanks, when the temperature is relatively low, the medium will freeze and affect circulation, so insulation facilities need to be installed. The traditional heat tracing method not only wastes consumables, but also has poor insulation effect, so more and more users are using heat tracing for insulation.

When installing the pipeline electric heat tracing system, an insulation layer needs to be applied after the installation of the electric heat tracing strip. The function of insulation layer is to reduce the heat loss of heat, make heating more concentrated, and achieve the purpose of use. Here, it is recommended that you purchase insulation layers in the local insulation and building materials markets, mainly to save costs and shipping costs. If an electric heat tracing company provides insulation layers, they are also outsourced, and their volume and weight are relatively large. Their own shipping costs may even exceed the price of the insulation layer. Regarding the selection of external insulation layer materials for electric heat tracing, the usage of relevant insulation materials can be consulted based on the actual situation.

Installation of pipeline electric heat tracing insulation layer:

After the construction test of the electric heating system, immediately install the insulation layer and pay attention to the following points:

The material, thickness, and specifications of the insulation layer used should meet the requirements of the design drawings.

2. Insulation materials must be kept dry during the construction process.

3. A waterproof cover should be added outside the insulation layer.

4. The construction of the insulation layer should avoid damaging the heat tracing strip.

5. The insulation test of the heating strip should be carried out immediately after the construction of the insulation layer.

6. Attach a warning label on the insulation layer, indicating "internal heat tracing" and more importantly, indicate the location of all accessories.
