Lacing wires for insulation mats are components of insulation systems designed to secure rock wool pipe sections or wired mats to various industrial surfaces, including pipelines, ductwork, tanks, boilers, filters, and other equipment. Their primary purpose is to provide durable and stable retention of insulation, protecting surfaces from heat loss and exposure to the environment.
The installation process involves correctly placing the pipe sections or insulation mat on the surface of the insulated component and then permanently securing them with wire mesh. The mesh is tensioned, and the wire is threaded through the mesh in a spiral pattern on both sides of the seam, running both longitudinally and circumferentially. This fastening method ensures that the mat adheres correctly to the surface, remains tight, and is securely fastened, and that the clamping force is distributed evenly.
Various hand tools are used during installation, including lacing hooks, lacing needles, nippers, pliers, and other auxiliary tools selected according to the type of insulated equipment and site conditions.
Securing pipe sections with lacing wire is an efficient installation method that enables insulation to be applied quickly over long, straight pipeline runs. It is recommended to use at least three fastening wires for every linear meter of pipe section, spaced 250 mm apart.
The wires should be made of the same material as the mesh used for the mats.
The price is for one bulk pack, which contains 25 pieces.
