Removable Insulation for Oil-Fired Boilers
With the price of fuel oil fluctuating as it does one important constant remains, energy savings. Oil Fired Boilers tend to be are still a very common component used to make hot water or steam. In today's world we need to look for any way possible to save valuable energy dollars. With the oil-fired boiler that begins with the insulation.
High Temperature Pipe Insulation Materials
Removable Insulation Materials for High-Temp Applications When it comes to insulating your pipes, there are many factors to take into consideration. Take temperature, for instance. How hot are your pipes? Imagine your thermos of coffee - it does a great job of keeping your java piping hot all day long. But pour in some super-heated liquid at 1,000 degrees F and watch your thermos melt away into a...

Decrease Energy Costs in Your Factory by Monitoring Steam Traps
Steam systems perform a significant function in many manufacturing plants. As the primary medium of transferring heat throughout the plant, the efficient and proper use of steam can have a considerable impact on a factory’s energy costs. The steam trap is a critical, yet often overlooked, component of the steam system.
Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI)
Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI): What it is and how to prevent it Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is the corrosion of piping and vessels that occurs beneath insulation as a result of water penetration. The water can come from rain water, leakage, deluge system water, wash water, or sweating from temperature cycling or low temperature operation such as refrigeration units.
Corrosion Under Insulation & CUI Inspections
Corrosion Under Insulation Corrosion under insulation has been plaguing the industrial equipment since the 1970s energy crisis first prompted companies to reduce energy costs by insulating their equipment. Corrosion under insulation (or CUI) can be a major problem if left unchecked; CUI can cause massive damage that is expensive and dangerous.
Corrosion Detection Methods for Stainless Steel Pipes and Tubes
Stainless steel is resistant, but certainly not immune, to corrosion. In a previous article, we examined the need for inspecting stainless steel pipes further, including a discussion of conditions which encourage corrosion. When corrosion does occur in stainless steel, the corrosion often manifests in a very localized manner rather than uniform (or “general”) corrosion. Two forms of corrosion...
