Equipment requiring service or maintenance needs a removable and reusable insulation solution to cover pipes, valves, fittings, tanks, turbines that are often badly insulated and where existing permanent insulation is often damaged or removed and not replaced. Pipes, valves, and fittings that are not insulated can be safety hazards and sources of heat loss.
We can custom design and supply flexible, removable and reusable insulating pads to cover almost any surface. The pads are made of a non-combustible inside cover, insulation material, and a non-combustible outside cover that resists tears and abrasion. Depending upon the customer preference or application, wire laced through grommets, Velcro® straps or straps with buckles hold the pads in place.

Energy Savings with Removable Valve Insulation
Getting the most out of your pipeline applications requires attention to heat—and sources of heat loss. The more heat you lose the higher the cost, so identifying key areas for insulation can go a long way towards increasing efficiency. Valves, flanges, expansion joints, and other irregular surfaces are common culprits of heat leakage, and maintenance often damages existing insulation. To circumvent these issues, many industrial professionals turn to removable insulation to maximize heat retention and increase pipe performance.
As a general rule, any surface that reaches temperatures greater than 120°F/50°C should be insulated, in order to protect personnel. The use of reusable insulation pads is pivotal in maintaining a safe environment: because the pads can be periodically removed for inspection and replaced as needed, they are an effective way to resolve current heat loss issues and prevent problems down the road. Insulating pads can also contain built-in acoustical barriers to help control noise. Reusable insulating pads are commonly used in Industrial facilities for insulating flanges, valves, expansion joints, heat exchangers, pumps, turbines, tanks, and other irregular surfaces. The pads are flexible and vibration resistant and can be used with equipment that is horizontally or vertically mounted or that is difficult to access. Any high temperature piping or equipment should be insulated to reduce heat loss, reduce emissions, and improve safety. Depending on valve size and operating temperatures, insulating valve covers can achieve impressive energy savings.
