T-Tubes pipe-insulation operates from -55 to +155C
Zotefoams
Pipe-insulation system
T-Tubes, the pipe-insulation system from Zotefoams, is gaining popularity as an easy-fit insulation solution for refrigerated systems.
Refrigerated steel pipe-work is notorious for inducing condensation, even in clean environments.
Condensate invariably provides a breeding ground for micro-organisms but more importantly it adversely affects the temperature gradient along the length of the line and makes it more susceptible to ambient humidity and temperature conditions.
T-Tubes are made from Zotek F closed-cell PVDF Foam.
They have a working temperature range of -55 to +155C, making them ideal for low and high-temperature insulation, typically on applications such as cold water or superheated steam.
The T-Tube system comprises clamshell-design straight components and custom-moulded elbows and tees.
Individual components are fixed with pressure-sensitive adhesive tape or fast-acting T-Tubes adhesive.
Components can be cut and installed within clean environments as they are made from closed-cell foam that does not shed when being cut to size.
The T-Tube insulation system is only 6mm thick but can be installed in practically any situation.
Space and accessibility are seldom a problem when installing this non-porous FM-approved system.
Installation can be carried out successfully in almost one-third of the time it takes to fit competitive porous insulation-materials that need separate jacketing.
T-Tubes insulation has a thermal conductivity (K) of 0.0317W/mK at 22C according to the ASTM C-518 test method.
