Rubber Foam Insulation Tube is used to retard heat gain and control condensation drip from chilled-water and refrigeration systems. It also efficiently reduces heat flow for hot-water plumbing and liquid-heating and dual-temperature piping. The recommended temperature usage range for Rubber Foam Insulation Tube is -297°F to +220°F (-183°C to +105°C). For use on cold pipes, Rubber Foam Insulation Tube thicknesses have been calculated to control condensation on the insulation outer surface, as shown in the table of thickness recommendations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the temperature range for this insulation tube?
The recommended operating temperature usage range for the Rubber Foam Insulation Tube is from -297°F to +220°F (-183°C to +105°C), making it suitable for a variety of refrigeration and dual-temperature systems.
How does the insulation prevent condensation?
It uses an expanded closed-cell structure to control condensation drip on chilled-water and refrigeration systems. The specific thicknesses are calculated to retard heat gain and keep the outer surface dry.
Does the product resist mold and mildew?
Yes, the insulation is naturally resistant to mold and mildew. It is fiber-free, dust-free, and can be manufactured with special antimicrobial product protection for extra defense on cold surfaces.
What is the fire rating and safety performance?
The insulation material has a Class 0 & Class 1 fire rating according to BS 476 Part 6 & Part 7, a Flame Spread and Smoke Developed Index of 25/50 (ASTM E 84), and an Oxygen Index of ≥36.
What applications are these insulation tubes used for?
They are widely used to control heat flow and condensation in chilled-water pipes, refrigeration lines, hot-water plumbing, liquid-heating systems, and dual-temperature piping configurations.
