What is vermiculite?
Firstly, the low thermal conductivity of vermiculite material provides excellent heat insulation and heat preservation, as well as effective cold insulation and heat blocking. This is why vermiculite material is chosen for vermiculite heat-insulating pipe supports.
Vermiculite material thermal insulation pipe support characteristics and advantages:
As previously mentioned, vermiculite heat-insulating pipe supports have a low thermal conductivity, excellent for heat insulation and temperature maintenance. They are commonly used as pipe support structures in our standard pipeline projects. Flame retardancy is another characteristic of vermiculite pipe supports, allowing for normal use in special environments; low moisture content vermiculite can be used outdoors for long periods, with high compressive and bending resistance, maintaining its shape over time. Molding through high-pressure injection, tailored to the requirements of insulation temperature in the working environment, vermiculite pipe supports can be custom-made in various thicknesses and layers, achieving 95% of the production process at the factory. Upon arrival at the construction site, they can be directly hoisted into place and secured with screws—simple, convenient, and safe to use.
Vermiculite heat-insulating pipe supports are an important component in energy conservation and emission reduction of hot water networks. Proper selection and rational arrangement of these supports during pipeline system design not only improve the stress distribution of the pipeline and the force exerted on the pipe racks, ensuring safe operation of the pipeline system, but also enhance energy utilization and save valuable resources. As the scope of centralized heating expands and steam transmission pipelines become longer, heat loss increases accordingly. As the main component of heat loss in insulated pipelines, pipe supports must be integrated with overall pipeline insulation through structurally designed supports and composite heat-insulating steel materials. This eliminates the formation of "heat bridges" and achieves energy-saving goals.
Seven Advantages of Vermiculite Insulation Tube Supports:
Fire-resistant vermiculite insulation: Vermiculite tube supports are A1-grade non-combustible inorganic materials, with a fire resistance of over 3 hours and do not produce toxic gases in high temperatures or fire conditions.
2. Excellent vermiculite insulation properties: lightweight, low thermal conductivity, and low water absorption thermal and insulating material.
3. High compressive strength and strong adhesion of vermiculite: ZC vermiculite pipe supports have a high compressive strength over 0.5Mpa; the system materials have good compatibility and high bonding strength with the walls; the boards have low drying shrinkage and no hollowing or cracking; strong wind pressure resistance.
4. Vermiculite has excellent soundproofing properties: Foam cement is a material with many closed pores, making it an excellent soundproofing material as well. It can provide good soundproofing effects, reduce noise pollution, and improve living conditions.
5. Vermiculite shares the lifespan of buildings: The system boasts excellent stability, high resistance to carbonization, aging, and freezing, as well as excellent weather resistance, matching the lifespan of the buildings. The lifespan of organic materials is typically 20-25 years, with significant costs for re-construction and severe environmental pollution, also causing inconvenience to people's production and living.
