New Practice for Vacuum Insulated Piping for Cryogenic Applications
1. Scope
Standardize the insulation design, fabrication, installation, and maintenance of vacuum insulated piping for cryogenic applications.Keywords
Vacuum Jacket Piping; Vacuum Insulated Piping; Multilayer InsulationRationale
As cryogenics becomes a larger portion of the daily lives of people around the world, care must be taken to protect the public from the cryogenic surfaces as well as minimize the ineffectiveness of cryogenic processes caused by parasitic heat losses. While standards exist for insulating cryogenic tanks, both stationary and transportable, as well as the manufacturing of cryogenic piping, the applicability of these standards for the insulation of cryogenic vacuum insulated piping is lacking.
