GeneralTube Insulation is a highly flexible,closed-cell and lightweight EPDM-rubber basedelastomeric product. Aerocel-SSPT Tube Insulation isdesigned for insulating warm or cold piping, duct, orequipment. Aerocel-SSPT EPDM Elastomeric TubeInsulation is supplied in 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", 1",1-1/4",1-1/2" ", 2, 2-1/2 and 3 thicknesses, inpopular I.D. sizes up to 8 IPS. Please check forspecific size combinations. The tightly formed,closed-cell structure of Aerocel-SSPT Tube Insulationmakes it an efficient insulation, providing superiorinsulating capacity to many materials, including otherelastomeric insulations. Aerocel is manufactured toconsistently provide actual values on these keyperformance criteria for mechanical systeminsulation:Self-Seal with Protape (SSPT) affords the most secureself-seal, dual-tape closure available. Avoids call-backsor failures. Maintains its seal in harsh conditions.Thermal Conductivity: 0.245Water Vapor Transmission, Perms: 0.03UV Resistance: Minimal change, ASTM G 7 andASTM G 90Fire Rating: Will not contribute significantly to fire(simulated end-use testing).Aerocel-SSPT Tube Insulation, in 1/4 through 2thickness, has a flame spread rating of 25 or less anda smoke developed rating of 50 or less as tested byASTM E 84 Surface Burning Characteristics ofBuilding Materials. Aerocel EPDM Pipe Insulation isacceptable for use in air distribution systemsincluding ducts, plenums, air handling equipmentand air terminal devices.UsesAerocel-SSPT Pipe Insulation is used to retard heatgain or loss, and to control condensation formation oncold-water plumbing, chilled water, and refrigerationlines. The material also efficiently reduces heat flow onhot water plumbing, liquid heating and dualtemperaturepiping systems. Aerocel sheet is used toinsulate large OD pipes, chillers, vessels and tanks, andcan be used as a duct liner or duct wrap. Therecommended service temperature range for AerocelInsulation is -297F to +257F. Aerocel is designed forinstallation above and below ground, indoors andoutdoors. No protective finish is required.Aerocel-SSPT Pipe Insulation is uniquely suited, overmany other cellular or fibrous insulation materials, todual-temperature HVAC piping systems. This unique fitresults from Aerocels proprietary combination of verylow moisture vapor flow for times of cooling-modeoperation, higher temperature usage properties duringtimes of heating-mode operation, and superiorinsulating capacity in either operating mode.Aerocel-SSPT Pipe Insulation is uniquely suited to Solarpiping systems because of its proprietary combinationof UV Resistance, greater thermal efficiency, noncorrosivenessto copper or stainless steel, andavailability as single layer product in greaterthicknesses.Resistance to Moisture Vapor FlowThe unique cell structure of Aerocel EPDM Insulationeffectively retards the flow of moisture vapor. Aerocelis considered a low transmittance vapor retarder. Innormal service conditions, Aerocel requires nosupplemental vapor retarder protection. When usedin extremely low-temperature or extremely highhumidityconditions, an additional vapor barriermaybe required.Key Features UV Resistant Added Weather Protection NotRequired, Saves on First Cost and Maintenance Lower Thermal Conductivity Saves AdditionalEnergy Costs 257 Upper Use Limit Greater Application Range Cryogenic to Low Pressure Steam E 84 25/50 to 2Thickness LowersInstallation Costswith Fewer Layers Versatile forHeating, AC,Refrigeration,Solar, Plumbing Single Product for AllSystems Easy to install Lowers InstallationCosts, Keeps JobCost as EstimatedSUBMITTAL* Although in some areas of the country, 1/4 and 3/8 wall thicknesses are recommended, Aeroflex USA recommends 1/2 minimum wall thickness for optimum performance.282 Industrial Park Road Sweetwater, TN 37874Tel: (423) 337-2493 Fax: (423) 337-7675Toll Free: (866) AEROCELWebsite: www.aeroflexusa.comRESULT0.245 0.25 0.265ASTM C 518 / C 177Service Temperature, CONTINUOUSCell Structure Closed CellASTM C 411ASTM G 7 / G 90ASTM C 209Through 2 thicknessU.V.
