I have a project where the customer has specified the use of a product called Fibaclad for the weather jacketing on their cryogenic piping system. This is different from what we typically use which is metal (aluminum or stainless).
We have spec'd out our pipe supports to come with this fibaclad jacketing so that it's already there when the insulator sub gets to a support, he/she doesn't have to fuss with the support. We've had two pipe support vendors not quote the supports with Fibaclad. One stating that they've even spoken to the customer, and the customer's engineers agree it's not a good idea (they're the ones originally driving us to use Fibaclad!).
Anyone ever use Fibaclad in this scenario? Lessons learned? I see more of an issue mixing two different weather jacketing systems than using one. Maybe I'm missing something?
Thanks
