Insulation Jackets
Promoting Energy Savings & Workplace Safety
Install Removable Insulation Jackets
Benefits:
Often steam traps, valves and controls valves are not insulated or have
permanent insulation that has been damaged or removed to allow for
routine maintenance, troubleshooting or trap surveys.
•
Reduce potential personnel hazard
•
Conserve energy by reducing heat loss
Exposed traps and valves pose not only a safety hazard to personnel
but also represent a tremendous source of heat loss. Spirax Sarco
removable insulation pads are made from a high-quality, flexible and
non-combustible silicone cloth inner liner, 1” thick Tempmat fiberglass
insulation and Teflon coated fiberglass outer liner. These removable
insulation jackets will provide your organization with a safe and affordable
way to reduce energy loss, and increase safety.
•
Improve the overall plant energy
Applications & Advantages:
Reusable insulation jackets are commonly used in many commercial and
industrial applications with irregular surfaces that are difficult to insulate
using conventional methods or where the insulation is removed at regular
intervals for the purposes of routine maintenance, troubleshooting or
surveys. The pads are extremely flexible, durable, and vibration-resistant
and can be installed on irregular or difficult to access surfaces. All high
temperature equipment, valves, fittings & traps should be insulated to
reduce heat loss, reduce noise & improve safety.
Availability:
Spirax Sarco insulation jackets for standard parts are available in stock.
Please allow 2-3 weeks delivery for orders including large quantities. For
non-standard parts, contact one of our account executives to discuss
custom insulation jacket options.

B ef o r e
A f t er
With a thermal imaging camera you can
see the difference that an insulation
jacket has when applied to a steam trap.
Prior to installation of the insulation jacket, the
steam trap reached an external temperature
of 115°C (indicated by the bright yellow areas
of the image). This trap was hazardous to the
touch, and was producing quite an amount of
heat loss.
With the installation of an insulation jacket the
external temperature was reduced to 27°C (as
indicated by the purple colour on the image).
This trap was now losing considerably less heat,
and more importantly safe to the touch.
Protection from extreme operating temperatures
It’s common in an industrial environment for equipment to frequently face extreme hot or cold. Such extreme
temperatures can lower lifespans of the equipment producing the heat, as well as the equipment nearby. Constant
superheating and cooling is hard on even the toughest machinery and equipment by causing imperceptible
expansion and contraction, which will degrade equipment integrity. Our removable insulation can absorb and
retain heat to help keep temperatures moderate and help your equipment last longer.

The following table summarizes the energy savings from the use of Spirax Sarco Insulation Jackets for a range of
Spirax Sarco standard parts. These values are calculated using the NAIMA (North American Insulation Manufacturer’s
Association) 3E Plus computer program
Energy savings is defined as the difference in heat loss between the uninsulated item and the insulated item operating
at the same temperature. Energy savings are evaluated at an operating temperature of 300ºF which corresponds to an
operating saturated steam temperature of approximately 50 psig.
