Removable insulation blankets provide many benefits when installed on a component in a steam system or otherwise. The primary benefit being a reduction in wasted energy, as heat can no longer escape the component and dissipate into space. Removable insulation blankets are a simple and effective way to save energy, and dollars, in your facility whether it's a university, hospital, multi-family...
Common in factories and plants, stainless steel pipes and tubes are something we frequently see in our removable insulation installation calls. In these industrial settings, stainless steel pipes are frequently exposed to extreme temperatures and conditions; thus, insulating them is important to energy savings. Perhaps equally important is inspecting stainless steel pipes.
According to The American Petroleum Institute (API), gas transmission pipelines are used to transport gas from production to point of use. There are three types of gas transmission pipelines:

Determining if there is a need for removable insulation covers or traditional forms of insulation is essential to the continued cost effective operation of your facility. An insulation audit is the most succinct way of defining your facility’s needs in a concise and affordable way. This professional analysis is critical for identifying areas of energy loss and areas of energy conservation.

Heat Insulation, Cold Insulation & Heated Insulation: An Overview
This post was written by Jack McTigue, sales manager at Thermaxx Jackets After years of working in the insulation industry and insulating hundreds of steam components in NYC, I've observed that there is rarely insulation on the incoming (inlet) and outgoing (outlet) piping of a thermodynamic (TD) steam trap.
Removable insulation jackets are becoming more of a necessity every year when it comes to running an industrial facility that utilizes a plethora of equipment. One piece of equipment that could really use proper insulation are the pressure reducing valves in your facility.
How to Calculate Heat Loss for Your Steam Pipes Many industrial facilities have steam pipes throughout their infrastructure regardless if the facility is a university or a manufacturing plant. Therefore, measuring varying degrees of heat loss is important to save money and protect your steam pipes with removable insulation covers. Understanding how to calculate heat loss is the first step towards...
