What is vermiculite?
Firstly, the low thermal conductivity of vermiculite materials provides excellent insulation and heat preservation, with great cold preservation and heat insulation effects. This is why vermiculite materials are chosen for use in vermiculite insulating pipe supports.
Vermiculite material heat-insulating tube properties and advantages:
The vermiculite thermal insulation pipe supports, as previously mentioned, have a low thermal conductivity, excellent heat and cold insulation properties. They are commonly used as pipe support frames in our standard pipeline projects. Flame retardancy is also one of the characteristics of vermiculite pipe supports, enabling normal use in special environments; vermiculite with low moisture content can be used outdoors for a long time, with high compressive and bending resistance, maintaining its shape over time. Through high-pressure injection molding, tailored to the insulation temperature requirements of the working environment, vermiculite pipe supports can be customized in various thicknesses and layers, achieving 95% of the production process at the factory. Once transported to the construction site, they can be directly hoisted into place and secured with screws, offering a simple, convenient, and safe solution.
Vermiculite thermal insulation pipe supports are an important component in energy conservation and emission reduction in current hot water network pipelines. During the design of the pipeline system, the correct selection and reasonable arrangement of the thermal insulation pipe supports not only improve the stress distribution of the pipes and the force on the pipe supports, ensuring the safe operation of the pipeline system, but also enhance energy utilization and save valuable energy. With the expansion of centralized heating coverage, the pipelines transporting steam become longer, and the heat loss liquid increases accordingly. As the main component of heat loss in insulated pipelines, pipeline supports must be integrated with the overall insulation of the pipeline through rational structural pipe supports and composite insulation steel materials. This eliminates the formation of "thermal bridges," achieving the goal of energy conservation.
Seven Advantages of Vermiculite Insulation Tube Supports:
Fire-retardant Vermiculite Insulation: Vermiculite tube supports are A1-rated non-combustible inorganic materials, with a fire resistance limit of over 3 hours and will not produce toxic gases under high temperatures or fire conditions.
2. Excellent Vermiculite Insulation Properties: Lightweight with low thermal conductivity and low water absorption, making it an ideal thermal and heat insulation material.
3. High compressive strength and bonding power of vermiculite: ZC vermiculite pipe supports have a high compressive strength over 0.5Mpa; the system materials exhibit good compatibility and have high bonding strength with walls; the boards have a low drying shrinkage value and no hollowing or cracking; and strong wind pressure resistance.
4. Vermiculite has excellent sound insulation properties: Foam cement is a material with many closed pores, making it an effective sound insulation material as well. It offers good soundproofing performance, reduces noise impact, and improves living conditions.
5. Vermiculite lifespan equals that of buildings: The system boasts excellent stability, high resistance to carbonization, aging, and frost, superior weather resistance, and a lifespan matching that of buildings. The lifespan of organic materials is typically 20-25 years, resulting in high secondary construction costs, significant environmental pollution, and inconvenience to people's production and daily life.
