TB 002: Insulation Disaster Relief Technical Bulletin
Pipe and vessel insulation has two critical roles in refineries and chemical processing plants in addition to saving energy: controlling process temperature and protecting workers. Insulation failure can result in injury, fire danger, material waste and equipment damage. If your plant was shut down or damaged by flooding, natural disaster or fire you need to be sure the insulation is still functional before restarting. Here is what to look for and what to do about it... |

TB 004: Insulation and Pressure Relief Systems on Process Equipment
Insulation is used for many reasons in the petroleum and chemical industry. The most common use is for energy savings and personnel protection. Insulation can also be useful in reducing the problem of containing vapors and the expense of providing large relief systems in the event of a fire. A properly designed insulation system will reduce the amount of heat absorption into a vessel and significantly reduce the amount of vapor generated and increase the amount of time before internal pressure reaches a critical point and the relief system opens... |

TB 005: Thermo-12 Gold and Super Firetemp L - Fire Protection for the Petrochemical Industry
Nowhere is the threat of fire a greater concern than in the petrochemical industry. History records several major fires in petroleum and chemical facilities. Today, this industry is increasing its interest of fire protection in an effort to avoid the severe consequences of a major fire. Thermo-12 Gold Calcium Silicate insulation normally used for heat conservation and personnel protection can also provide fire protection... |

TB 009 - Stress Corrosion Cracking of Austenitic Stainless Steel
Stress corrosion cracking is the failure of austenitic stainless steels caused by the combined action of a corrosive atmosphere and residual stress in the metal. The most common corrosive ion is the chloride ion. The chloride ion can come from wash down water, brine, sea water, potable water, cleaning solutions, or one of a variety of other sources including the insulation itself... |

TB 011: Compressive Strengths of High Temperature Thermal Insulation
The compressive strength of different types of high temperature thermal insulation varies enormously. Furthermore, some insulations significantly degrade with temperature exposure. For this bulletin, “high temperature” refers to insulations rated for continuous use on surfaces from 450°F (232°C) to 1200°F (650°C)...

TB 012: Review of CUI Testing with Thermo-12 Gold with XOX
Since the inception of the Industrial Insulation Group, Thermo-12® Gold Calcium Silicate high temperature pipe and equipment insulation has incorporated XOX, a unique process and formulation, to inhibit corrosion under insulation (CUI) on steel surfaces. The testing reported in this bulletin shows the XOX feature inhibits corrosion significantly relative to other Calcium Silicate products, those manufactured prior to XOX development and some other high temperature insulation products... |
