When & Why to Use Calcium Silicate Insulation for Pipe Hangers and Supports

Calcium silicate insulation is crucial for industrial piping, especially at pipe supports. It offers exceptional load-bearing strength, high temperature resistance (up to 1,200°F), and moisture resistance. Ideal for demanding environments, cal-sil prevents insulation crushing, maintains thermal performance, and ensures long-term system reliability, safety, and reduced maintenance in critical applications like refineries and power plants.

Pressure Relief Valves vs. Safety Relief Valves

Pressure Relief Valves (PRVs) and Safety Relief Valves (SRVs) are critical for overpressure protection. PRVs are designed for liquid service, opening gradually, while SRVs are for gas or vapor systems, providing rapid, full-capacity relief. Understanding these distinct functions is essential for selecting the correct valve to ensure system safety and compliance.
