Comparison of Double Insulated Steel Pipe Rock Wool and Pyrogel Insulation
Double insulated steel pipes are often used to prevent heat loss of the fluid inside the pipe. The insulation of pipes can be done using different materials depending on the surrounding environment. In this article, the heat loss calculation and insulation thicknesses of double insulated steel pipes using rock wool and pyrogel materials will be compared.
Heat loss calculation is made depending on the diameter and temperature of the pipe. For example, when the sediment temperature is considered to be +5°C, the internal fluid temperature is 180°C and the wind speed is 5 m/s, the heat loss values for rock wool insulation have been determined. Depending on the diameter of the pipe, the thickness may vary in rock wool insulation, and therefore it is recommended to use a thicker material than the calculated one.
Also, in pyrogel insulation, there is no change in the thickness of the pipe, and the thickness of the pyrogel material does not show any change after polyurethane insulation. Pyrogel insulation can also prevent heat loss, similar to rock wool insulation, and be less thick than rock wool insulation.
Therefore, it may be appropriate to prefer rock wool or pyrogel materials when choosing insulation materials for double insulated steel pipes. However, it is important to determine the insulation thicknesses depending on the diameter and temperature of the pipe. The heat loss values calculated depending on the diameter and temperature of the pipe can be used to determine the insulation thickness.
In this article, information is given about the insulation materials and insulation thicknesses of double-insulated steel pipes. This information is important for the design and selection of double insulated steel pipes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Double Insulated Steel Pipes
What are double insulated steel pipes and why are they used?
Double insulated steel pipes are pipes used to reduce the heat loss of the fluid inside the pipe. These pipes are especially preferred to increase energy efficiency and improve system performance.
What are the differences between rock wool Decking and pyrogel insulation materials?
Rock wool insulation is usually applied thicker, while pyrogel insulation can be applied in thinner layers and provides similar insulation performance. Pyrogel is generally preferred in higher temperature applications and can be faster to assemble.
How should the choice of material be made for pipe insulation?
The choice of material for pipe insulation should be made depending on the diameter of the pipe, the temperature of the fluid and environmental conditions. Considering energy efficiency and cost effectiveness, materials such as rock wool or pyrogel can be preferred.
What should be considered in the design of double insulated steel pipes?
In the design of double insulated steel pipes, factors such as the diameter of the pipe, the temperature of the fluid carried inside and the conditions of the external environment should be taken into account. The thickness and type of insulation material should be selected in accordance with these factors.
How is the heat loss calculation done and why is it important?
The heat loss calculation is made depending on the diameter of the pipe and the temperature of the internal fluid. This calculation is necessary to determine the thickness and type of insulation material and is important for improving system efficiency.
