Thanks KevinNZ. Yes I agree that the insulation block may be damaged and leave some gaps instead, but it is hard to predict. So I'd like to include the stiffness as well. Just not quite sure if my stiffness calculation is right as I couldn't find any reference on the stiffness of this type.
The pipelines I am working on are refrigeration pipe with rigid PU foam insulation. At the location of support we use prefabricated high density ring block (cut into two pieces) between pipe clamp and the pipe, and in other place the insulation is with lower density and injected on site. The...
In a plant there are always lots of small pipe branch off from a big pipe. In my understanding if the there is a separation valve between the small pipe and the big pipe, then the hazard level can change after the valve, so the small pipe can be a lower hazard level. If the small pipe is in...
