K ? of best insulator
K ? of best insulator
(OP)
In oil pipeline we use mineral wool ( K=0.038 ) as an insulator but it doesn't work well. I 'ld like to know that are there any insulators that better than this wool.

RE: K ? of best insulator
You should also search on the internet for "insulation"
RE: K ? of best insulator
Please, could you specify why the insulation doesn't work well. In other words: from which point of view the rockwool are not satisfactory?
- heat dissipated or flowed from the pipeline
- temperature of the outside surfaces (for safety or evnvironmental aspects)
- mechanical stability of the insulations (maintenability)
- life span
- acquiring cost
- destructions
- environmental problems
- ???
BTW: I personally "hate" the mineral and rook wool, but the question is too generic. Please, let's know something more.

Thank you for all of your opinion.

The U that i quote for pre insulated PIP using PUR is about as low as it gets using conventional technology (i'm not considering vacuum insulated pipes to be conventional for pipelines due to assumed high installation costs). As you can see its about half the value that you have quoted for mineral wool (and much easier to install).
What are your operating conditions?
