Why is Insulation Done to Exhaust Pipe ( insulation is also referred as cladding )

Exhaust pipe insulation( cladding) involves surface of the pipe covered with aluminium cladding procedure. Material required for pipe insulation are Mineral/glass wool, aluminium sheet, GI chicken mesh, binding wire, GI Screws. Exhaust Pipe Insulation is done because of following reasons..

• Where pipework is operating at extremely high or low temperatures, the potential exists for injury to occur when any person come into physical contact with the pipe surface. The threshold for human pain varies, but several international standards set recommended touch temperature limits. Since the surface temperature of insulation varies from the temperature of the pipe surface, typically such that the insulation surface has a "less extreme" temperature, pipe insulation can be used to bring surface touch temperatures into a safe range.
• Acoustic insulation can prevent noise transfer by acting to damp the pipe wall and performing an acoustic decoupling function wherever the pipe passes through a fixed wall or floor and wherever the pipe is mechanically fixed. Pipework can also radiate mechanical noise. In such circumstances, the breakout of noise from the pipe wall can be achieved by acoustic insulation incorporating a high-density sound barrier. Detailed description of Exhaust Pipe Insulation will be discussed in future posts.
