Pipe insulation generally means a material or several materials applied over the pipes to either prevent heat loss or gain. It acts as a thermal barrier to the flow of energy, hence reducing usage and maintaining desirable temperatures within the piping system. This insulation will find significance in residential, commercial, and industrial applications. The reduction in heat transfer by the use of pipe insulation increases energy efficiency, and the costs incurred in payment are minimized. The type of insulation will depend on things such as the material of the pipe, the operating temperature, and the environmental conditions. Common insulation materials include fibreglass, foam, mineral wool, and rubber. Proper pipe insulation also avoids condensation, corrosion, and freezing; hence, it increases the life span of any piping system.
