STAINLESS STEEL VACUUM-JACKETED PIPING AND COMPONENTS

Specialty Fitters, Inc. designs, build and install process piping systems featuring stainless steel vacuum-jacketed piping (rigid and flexible hose), valves and other components for the economical and efficient transfer of cryogenic liquids to your process equipment.

VACUUM-JACKETED PIPING ENSURES LOW-LOSS, RELIABLE CRYOGENIC LIQUID TRANSFER

Vacuum-jacketed piping technology utilizes double-walled construction, with a stainless steel inner pipe for liquid flow, along with a concentric outer pipe (the "jacket"). The space between the pipes is vacuum evacuated, providing superior insulation capabilities. This allows for low thermal transfer, resulting in minimal product losses and maximum service life. Vacuum-jacketed systems are more expensive initially, but offer substantial long-term savings due to lower maintenance and gas supply costs.

Vacuum-jacketed piping is available in pre-fabricated sections that are easily installed on-site using bayonet-style connections and/or welding. Installation is also simplified due to the ability to use standard pipe hangers on the outer jacket of the piping sections. Vacuum insulated piping systems require minimal maintainance and provide maximum efficiency for cryogenic liquid transfer.

VACUUM-JACKETED PIPING OUTPERFORMS COPPER FOAM INSULATED PIPE OVER THE LIFE OF YOUR SYSTEM

For certain applications, foam-insulated copper pipe can be an alternative to vacuum jacketed piping. These piping systems feature an insulated foam cover over the copper pipe, topped with an outer shell usually made of plastic. Thermal transfer rates and product losses are increased with this type of piping, and the foam-insulation is subject to deterioration over a relatively short period. It can be cost effective to replace foam-insulated copper gas piping with a more efficient system featuring stainless steel, vacuum-jacketed pipe.
