Steam Piping Systems
The underground steam piping systems we engineer at Insul-Pipe Systems are designed to all ASHRAE standards and feature drainable/dryable Class A insulated or standard epoxy coated steel jacketed systems. Steam piping systems are pre-insulated with mineral wool or calcium silicate insulation and jacketed with an epoxy coated steel or double jacketed with an inner steel conduit that is contained in an outer HDPE jacket. These materials are capable of withstanding elevated temperatures and provide a waterproof barrier between the carrier pipe and the surrounding environment. Prefabricated and pre-insulated fittings can be provided to enhance the water-tightness of the system. By prefabricating piping insulation systems and fittings prior to shipment, the piping network can be easily fit and constructed upon arrival at the job site. This reduces the overall time required for a project be minimizing the risk of weather delays and reducing the required labor to install a system.
Through innovative engineering and a steadfast dedication to quality, we are able to provide premium quality piping systems that minimize maintenance costs and energy losses. Our team can provide technical support and collaborative engineering assistance to ensure that the proper of pipe and type of system is chosen for a given application. Complete documentation, including any applicable calculations and analyses are provided with custom systems for customer records. Municipal, military, and industrial customers around the world rely on our engineering expertise and reputation of quality when selecting a partner for their piping system construction projects.
