Why use NEMA G10 Insulation kits?
(OP)
Hi,
What is the reason to use NEMA G10 gaskets for pipe insulation? They are quite common in the water industry, especially at larger sizes, however I can't see why they need to be used?
Their dielectric strength is high (530 V/mil) however I doubt a pipe has 66,250V go through it (530V * 125mil, 1/8"=125mil). It seems even basic red rubber gaskets at 280V/mil provide more than enough electrical insulation.
Please if anyone can provide feedback I would really appreciate it.
