Under water insulation
Under water insulation
(OP)
I need to insulate a steel tank that will contain hot gas and be immersed in water and be sujected to pressures of about 500 psi. I would like suggestions of what materials would be suitable for insulating the vessel.
Thank you
Thank you

How about a spray on poly-isocyanate and then a rubberized coating. I am not sure how it will stand up to the pressure though. I have to ask would it not be cheaper and easier to re-heat the gas when it is again on land?

What stops the O2 at 240C from attacking the Carbon Steel?
Since it is so small I guess I would definately go with the vacuum jacket. It is the easiest, and you can guarantee that it will work.
