Poured-In-Place<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Granular
\npoured-in-place insulation for underground piping, ducts, and tanks is
\navailable. These are granular materials generally made from engineered blends
\nof inorganic materials or calcium carbonate and require no mixing or curing.
\nThe hydrophobic materials provide thermal insulation, corrosion protection, and
\nload-bearing properties. Product is sold by the cubic foot and is available in
\na variety of packaging options. The material is installed around underground
\npipes, ducts, or tanks before backfilling. Currently, no ASTM standard material
\nspecifications have been developed for these products.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reflective Insulations<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Reflective insulations
\nare defined by ASTM as insulation depending for its performance upon reduction
\nof radiant heat transfer across air spaces by use of one or more surfaces of
\nhigh reflectance and low emittance. Reflective insulations utilize
\nlow-emittance foil (usually aluminum) or foil-coated facings to reduce the
\namount of radiant heat flux occurring at the surface.<\/span><\/p>\n

While reflective
\ninsulations obey the same laws of physics as any insulation system, they are
\ntypically relatively thin (usually less than \u00bd”). Thus, they present little
\nresistance to conduction heat transfer through the material.
\nThey operate primarily by reducing the radiant heat flux to and from the surface
\nof the insulation. Reflective foils are often used as facing on other, more
\nconventional insulations to provide additional thermal resistance. The
\nReflective Insulation Manufacturers Association (www.rima.net<\/i>) is a source
\nof additional technical information on reflective insulation products.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>ASTM C667 Standard Specification for
\nPrefabricated Reflective Insulation Systems for Equipment and Pipe Operating at
\nTemperatures Above Ambient Air covers prefabricated, multi-layer reflective
\ninsulation systems for equipment and piping.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
