WHY USE REMOVABLE INSULATION

PCS removable insulation blankets are often referred to as jackets or pads and consist of layers of thermal insulation materials. Removable insulation blankets slow the transfer of thermal energy and focus on how well a material resists the flow of heat while allowing operator ease to removal and installation. This method is extremely valuable on fittings that require inspections and maintenance

DIFFERENT LAYERS OF REMOVABLE INSULATION

Removable insulation blankets can be divided into 2 main components:

• An outer protective cover designed to shield and protect the insulation from the environment in which it finds itself.
• The insulation mat itself, typically 2″ thick fiberglass, provides the actual heat containment. Thicknesses vary from ½” up to 4” depending on the amount of heat reduction the application requires

Aside from these 2 components, there is the fastening system which is used to secure the insulation blankets in place. The type of fastening used is dependent on the type of equipment being covered, the applications for which it will be used, and the environment in which the covered equipment operates. A wide variety of fastening equipment is available for use with removable insulation blankets. Common fastening methods include:

• Velcro
• Lacing Wire
• Straps
• Springs
