Welcome to the latest issue of Kingspan news!

Hello!

When services are in operation, pipe supports can be expected to handle considerable loads, particularly for large diameter steel pipework sections. When specifying pipe supports it is therefore important to understand not only what the load bearing capacity of the clamp, support or bracket is, but also to consider what impact these loads will have on the insulation insert – particularly for horizontal pipework runs. Without proper protection, these loads can cause the insert to deteriorate overtime, potentially allow increased heat loss and creating a break in the vapour barrier.

The second in our blog series about insulated pipe support inserts, talks about compressive strength and load bearing capacity. Please click on the button to read more.
