Requirements for Physical Mechanics and Environmental Adaptation of Thermal Insulation Materials for Heating Network Pipelines
2026-10-07

Thermal insulation materials for heating network pipelines must meet mandatory requirements in multiple dimensions such as thermal performance, physical and mechanical properties, safety and environmental protection. The core requirements must comply with relevant national standards such as GB 50264-2013 and GB/T 8175. The specific requirements are as follows:

Core thermal performance requirements

Thermal conductivity: It needs to be ≤ 0.044W/(m · K), and some high standard scenarios require ≤ 0.025W/(m · K) to ensure effective reduction of pipeline heat loss. Compliant materials can reduce heat loss by more than 30%.

Temperature adaptability: The long-term use temperature of the material should be at least 20 ℃ higher than the maximum temperature of the heating network. Conventional heating networks should cover a temperature range of -30 ℃ to 200 ℃ to avoid material denaturation and failure at high temperatures.

Requirements for physical mechanics and environmental adaptation

Density control: The quality density should be controlled within 30-50kg/m ³, taking into account both insulation effect and pipeline load, to reduce installation and construction difficulty.

Structural stability: compressive strength ≥ 0.3MPa, compressive creep coefficient ≤ 5%, long-term compression without deformation, ensuring the integrity of the insulation layer structure.

Waterproof and corrosion-resistant: It has low water absorption, acid and alkali corrosion resistance, and is suitable for complex environments with damp or corrosive media such as underground direct burial and outdoor exposure, to avoid the invasion of water vapor and the deterioration of insulation performance.

⚠️ Safety and compliance requirements

Fire rating: It is required to meet the A-level non combustible level of GB 8624 standard, eliminate fire hazards, and ensure the long-term operation safety of the heating network.

Environmentally friendly and non-toxic: The material composition is harmless, with no harmful gas release, and meets the requirements of green building materials.

Surface temperature control: After insulation, the outer surface temperature of the pipeline should not exceed 60 ℃ to avoid scalding maintenance personnel.

Construction and acceptance requirements

Upon entering the site, it is necessary to verify the product qualification certificate and third-party testing report. Each batch of materials should be sampled and retested for core indicators such as thermal conductivity and density at a rate of 5%.

The allowable error of the insulation layer thickness is controlled within ± 5%. The tapping method is used to check and ensure that the bonding is firm and not loose. After completion, the system's heat loss rate should be controlled within 8%.
