Is this "insulation" for personnel protection, not heat conservation? If it is, then its most likely expanded metal mesh with some framing to offset it from the pipe/vessel. Only applied in areas where personnel could contact it such as within 8' of the ground or 8' above a platform and perhaps 4' horizontally. It serves to keep folks from burning themselves by accidentally touching a hot pipe or vessel.
