HOT PIPE COATING ®
|
A steam valve running 600°F (315°C),
which has never been able to be insulated before. |
| HOT PIPE
COATING ® applied in a very thin
coat, directly to the valve while operating. After the initial coat
was sprayed on and steamed out, the additional coats built up quickly.
|
| The white look is because the next day, the
HOT PIPE COATING ® was overcoated with ENAMO
GRIP W/B white high gloss to protect HOT
PIPE COATING ® from weathering and
UV. |
|
Another Valve location running 489°F (254°C). |
| Personnel applied 350 mils DFT ( 350/1000
" or approximately 1/3 " ) of HOT PIPE
COATING ® to see what the temperature
would settle to and it was 180°F (82°C). The other side was applied
at 750 mils DFT ( 3/4 " ) and the temperature settled to 135°F
(57°C). The "dollar plate" (end of the tube showing bolts
around circle) immediately dropped to 135°F (57°C). |
