Insulation of Piping
An efficient and challenging insulation measure in both private and commercial sectors involves piping. Especially in large public buildings, these pipes often extend over several thousand meters. To minimize heat loss while also meeting the required fire protection standards, proper insulation is essential.
A key advantage of XPS as an insulation material lies in its closed-cell structure. This not only provides excellent isolation thermique but also makes the material resistant to moisture and mechanical stress. RAVATHERM XPS, with its low conductivité thermique, offers an effective way to reduce heat loss in piping. Furthermore, the high compressive strength of XPS allows for stable and durable insulation, even under demanding conditions.
When using XPS, it is important to ensure that the insulation thickness complies with the relevant requirements. Since the minimum distances between insulated pipes refer to the outer diameter of the insulation, choosing XPS can provide a space-saving solution. Compared to materials with higher conductivité thermique, XPS enables more efficient insulation layers with lower material thicknesses..
