Copper Pipe Insulation Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-MWLE-13056
Jlab Export is a leading Copper Pipe Insulation Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Copper pipe insulation is a flexible tube that slides over refrigerant pipe to cut heat gain and keep the cold suction line from sweating. These lengths are 1.8 m long, with an inside diameter of 6, 8, 10 or 12 mm to suit the matching pipe. The material has a density of 0.08 g/cc and a thermal conductivity of 0.04 W/m°C at 10 °C.

Lab Exercises on Pipe Insulation
On a split AC or refrigeration trainer, students slide the insulation over the suction line before the last joints are brazed. Once the joint has cooled, they pull it back over and tape the seams so no bare copper shows. The 6 mm and 8 mm bores fit the Copper Pipe roll in those sizes. The 10 mm and 12 mm bores fit the matching Copper Pipe roll.
A simple heat transfer experiment leaves part of a running suction line bare and part insulated. Students read the outer surface temperatures with the Infrared Thermometer with Laser and watch for condensation on the bare length. Using the measured wall thickness and the conductivity of 0.04 W/m°C, they can estimate the heat flow through the insulation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which size do I need?
Pick the inside diameter that equals the outside diameter of the pipe: 6 mm insulation for 6 mm pipe, 12 mm for 12 mm pipe, and so on. A close fit leaves no air gap for moist air to reach the copper.
What happens if the suction line is left bare?
The bare pipe runs below the dew point of the room air, so water condenses on it and drips. It also picks up heat on the way back to the compressor, which takes away from the cooling the system delivers.
Should the liquid and suction lines share one insulation tube?
No. Insulate each pipe separately, then tape or duct them together. If both pipes sit in one tube, heat passes from the warmer liquid line into the cold suction line.
What does a thermal conductivity of 0.04 W/m°C mean?
It is the rate at which heat passes through the material. The lower the figure, the less heat gets through a given thickness. For this insulation the value was measured at 10 °C.
How are joints between lengths sealed?
Butt the ends of two lengths tightly together without stretching them, and wrap the joint with tape. Any gap lets moist air reach the cold pipe, and water then collects under the insulation.
