Insulate pipe rack
Insulate pipe rack
(OP)
Does anyone have experience with insulating whole pipe rack instead of individul pipes on the rack? Is this good application to use on thermal oil piping about 600 deg F? Thanks for your comments.

I can see numerous problems with this arrangement.

RE: Insulate pipe rack
Image at some future date, plant personnel attempting to 'walk down' a specific line to add a new tap or branch connection. Nearly impossible. We have all walked down a line in a plant when the lines are individually insulated. At some plants it is still nearly impossible to completely 'walk down' a line when the headers are located in a large pipe rack.
Also, imagine if one(1) of the lines leak for any reason (i.e. gasket joint). The fluid would not be contained to any one location and identifying the source of the leak nearly impossible.
In addition, how would the plant add a line(s) at some future date.

RE: Insulate pipe rack
Is an 8 ft dia pipe underground with mulpiple headers located inside considered a 'pipe rack'?
My experience has been with pipe racks above ground.
