Application Guides

Underground piping

Above ambient underground process piping and equipment

A FOAMGLAS® insulation system helps to ensure that the temperature inside the pipes is controlled and kept stable by limiting the heat transfer to the cold soil. In most of these applications it is vital that the temperature is kept constant over the entire length of the piping network to ensure process control.
