Facility managers may assume that mechanical insulation on equipment and systems will remain intact and perform indefinitely; however, this is not always the case. Factors like damage, neglect, and aging, can dramatically impact the integrity of mechanical insulation. Periodic inspections can detect these unfavorable conditions and allow you to diagnose potential problems.https://insulation.org/io/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2016/10/IO160903_04.jpg
