Mineral Wool Pipe Insulation
Description
Mineral Wool Pipe Insulation is a precision cut pipe
covering composed of high density stone wool made from
naturally occurring Basalt Rock.

The covering is

produced in two half sections and can be supplied plain or


jacketed with materials such as: all service jacket (ASJ),
foil scrim kraft (FSK), Glassmat or other suitable
jacketing. Mineral wool pipe insulation is available in
three foot lengths in sizes from through 28 IPS and
wall thicknesses from 1 to 6. Sizes larger than 28 IPS
are available in curved segments.

See SPI Rigidflex

Insulation cut to size as an alternate insulation for larger


pipe sizes and tanks.
Small to large pipe sizes, fittings are available as well as

Uses
Mineral wool pipe insulation can be used in a wide range

curved segments for tank walls.

of hot or cold pipe applications ranging from -20F


(-29C) to 1200F per ASTM C411 (650C) making it
ideal for use on:

High temperature pipe lines typically found in


industrial power and petrochemical plants, steam
production and supply pipe, etc.

Commercial hot and cold water supply.

Refrigerated water and other related applications.

Advantages

Good dimensional stability (thermal).

Good

mechanical

abuse

and

compressive

strength.

Low moisture sorption.

Fire resistant and non combustible.

Excellent sound properties.

Non corrosive.

Chemically inert, minimizes indoor air quality


pollutant potential.

Made from natural, inorganic material with high


recycled content.

Resistant to the growth of fungi, mold or


bacteria.

Does not sustain vermin.

A variety of jacketing materials are available to meet


service and specification requirements.

Performance and compliance use data is based on


fabrication of Thermal Conductivity as manufactured by
Roxul FabRock HT.
