The Space-Ring System
Combats Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI): The SRS is the most comprehensive system in the market
Page last modified
April 11 2024
Powertherm Contract Services are proud to release the design of the Space-Ring System, a revolutionary new product tackling the ever-growing problem of corrosion under insulation. The patented design reduces damage to the outer surface of insulation whilst providing airflow and drainage from within to keep the pipe dry and safe from the threat of CUI.
Current methods of strengthening the insulation exterior to prevent CUI can be effective against damage. However, when enough force is applied they do still buckle and the system begins to work against itself, trapping water inside and encouraging corrosion. The Space Ring System tackles each of these problems in turn.
Pros & Limitations
1
The Space-Ring System uses support rings to transfer the weight load onto the pipe itself, which is considerably stronger than cladding
1
Strengthen the insulation system, preventing seams from buckling and in turn moisture entering the system
1
An air space is introduced, through which low-level drainage points, free-flowing air and the internal cladding surface acting as a gutter, help to keep the pipe and surrounding insulation dry
1
The system brings unrivalled performance for personnel protection guards (PPG), offering a unique fit to perforated cladding
0
Costs are slightly increased in the short term due to the inclusion of the SRS in an insulation system
Specification
| Specification Title | Specification Description |
|---|---|
|
Applicability
|
The SRS can be installed across a variety of assets including: small bore, to substantially sized diameter piping, square and round ducting systems, and even vessels & tanks.
|
|
Asset life extension
|
The SRS has the unique capabilities to pro-long asset life by preventing, tracking and mitigating CUI. Drying capabilities keeps assets dry mitigating CUI effects. Quick and easy inspection and maintenance helps track potential CUI risks.
|
|
Inspection and maintenance
|
The mechanical fix of the SRS allows for specific sections of cladding and insulation to be removed; particularly where CUI is a higher risk, leaving other sections undisturbed and sealed.
|
|
Integration
|
The engineered design and unique characteristics of the SRS allows it to be installed on pre-fabricated systems.
|
|
Safety
|
The SRS can be installed on non-insulated equipment bosting unrivalled performance for personnel protection guards
|
|
Strenght
|
The SRS uses support rings to transfer the weight load onto the pipe itself, which is considerably stronger than cladding. This in turn strengthens the insulation system, preventing seams from buckling.
|
|
Training
|
The SRS requires very little additional installation training and can be installed, removed and reapplied with the standard tools carried by insulation operatives.
