EPS Pipe Insulation

Al Qatami’s EPS Pipe Insulation

Your thermal insulation game changer

Using expanded polystyrene (EPS) pipe insulation can significantly reduce heat loss in a building's plumbing system. EPS insulation acts as a thermal barrier, effectively preventing the transfer of heat from hot water pipes to the surrounding environment and vice versa for cold water pipes. By creating an insulating layer around the pipes, EPS minimizes thermal conductivity, ensuring that the temperature of the water inside the pipes remains stable. This not only improves energy efficiency by reducing the need for additional heating or cooling but also helps maintain water at the desired temperature, enhancing overall comfort and lowering energy bills. In essence, EPS pipe insulation serves as a vital component in conserving energy and reducing heat loss, making it a practical choice for both residential and commercial applications.

EPS pipe insulation plays a crucial role in controlling heat loss by minimizing thermal bridging, which occurs when heat travels through the pipe walls to the surrounding air. This insulation material has a low thermal conductivity, meaning it is an excellent heat insulator. By encapsulating the pipes with EPS insulation, it creates a barrier that effectively traps heat within the pipes during the winter, preventing it from dissipating into the environment. Conversely, in warm weather, EPS insulation keeps the heat outside from infiltrating cold water pipes, maintaining cooler water temperatures. This level of thermal control not only reduces energy consumption but also extends the lifespan of the pipes by minimizing temperature-related stress and potential condensation issues. In summary, EPS pipe insulation acts as a thermal shield, ensuring that the desired temperature is maintained within the pipes while mitigating heat loss, ultimately leading to energy savings and enhanced system efficiency.

Benefits of EPS pipe sections for Insulation

From engineering and economic aspects, it is often advisable or even essential to protect pipelines from heat losses and condensations. Low thermal conductivity, low permeability to water vapor, low water absorption, high dimensional stability, good mechanical strength and protection from fire hazards are the aspects which will constitute the ideal insulating material. EPS – expanded polystyrene pipe section incorporates all these aspects well and is therefore particularly effective. EPS pipe sections are 95% closed cell structure which ensures better insulation.

EPS pipe section does not support mold, fungus infection or pest life and are unaffected by any bacteria, making it the ideal choice for pipe and duct insulation operating in areas such as food processing etc… where the highest degree of hygiene is required.

EPS pipe sections are manufactured on “Made to Order Basis” according to the customer’s sizes and specifications. It can be cut with Shiplap joints and Tongue & Groove arrangements with the aid of High-Tech CAD / CAM – CNC Machines. Normally EPS Pipe sections are cut into two halves with readily wrapped FRK facing (Foil Reinforced Kraft paper) in order to simplify the installation works at the sites
