Insulated pipe supports

Durable insulated pipe supports

Insulated pipe supports are an important component in building and industrial installations. These pipe supports not only provide mechanical support for pipe systems, but they also offer excellent thermal insulation, making them a popular choice in many applications. Below you can explore the features, benefits and applications of PIR insulated pipe supports.

What is PIR?

Insulated pipe supports are a thermoplastic polymer known for its low thermal conductivity and high mechanical strength. PIR is a further development of polyurethane (PUR), but with improved insulation properties and increased resistance to high temperatures. This makes PIR an ideal material for insulation in demanding environments.

Properties and Benefits of PIR Insulated Pipe Supports
  1. Low thermal conductivity: PIR has a very low thermal conductivity, which means it effectively reduces heat loss from pipelines. This means energy savings and increased system efficiency.
  2. High strength and durability: PIR insulated pipe supports are strong and durable, enabling them to withstand mechanical stress and protect pipe systems from damage.
  3. Resistance to moisture and chemicals: PIR is resistant to moisture penetration and many chemicals, which extends the life of the insulation and ensures reliable protection in corrosive environments.
  4. Lightweight: PIR materials are lightweight, making them easy to transport and install without compromising their strength and performance.
  5. Fire retardant: PIR has good fire retardant properties, making it a safe choice in buildings and industrial installations.
PIR supports in the district heating sector

PIR beams are very relevant and are often used in the district heating sector. PIR beams are used to insulate and support pipelines and are known for their excellent insulation properties and durability. Here are some specific advantages of PIR beams in the district heating sector:

  1. Reduced heat loss: PIR supports have low thermal conductivity, which means that they effectively reduce heat loss from the pipelines and thus increase energy efficiency in district heating systems.
  2. Resilience: PIR beams are resistant to moisture, chemicals and high temperatures, making them well suited to the challenging environments often found in district heating systems.
  3. Long life: Their durability and strength ensure that pipelines remain well protected over time, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and replacement.
  4. Easy installation: PIR supports are light and easy to work with, making installation quick and efficient.
Other areas of application for PIR-insulated pipe supports

PIR-insulated pipe supports are also used in the following industries and applications:

  • Construction industry: PIR pipe supports are used in plumbing and HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) systems to ensure energy efficiency and thermal comfort.
  • Refrigeration industry: PIR insulation is used in cold rooms and refrigeration systems to minimize energy loss and maintain optimal temperatures.
  • Chemical industry: PIR materials protect pipelines and systems transporting chemicals and extend the life of the installations.
High strength and durability

PIR insulated pipe supports offer a combination of excellent thermal insulation, high mechanical strength and durability, making them an ideal choice in many industries. Their ability to withstand moisture, chemicals and high temperatures ensures that they can maintain performance and protect pipe systems in a variety of demanding environments. When installed correctly, PIR insulated pipe supports can contribute to significant energy savings and extend the life of your pipe systems.
