COLD SHOES, COLD BLOCKS AND HOT SHOES IN OUR ...

We take pride in delivering high-quality, engineered pipe support solutions to our customers on time. This week, we invite you to take a look inside our assembly, inspection, and packing bay. We are currently preparing cryogenic pipe supports (cold shoes and cold blocks) along with hot shoes (designed for pipes up to 48 inches in diameter) for overseas LNG and petrochemical projects.

To successfully integrate cryogenic pipe supports into a piping system, several key steps must be followed:

1. Identify the necessity of insulation for the pipe.
2. Assess the environmental conditions surrounding the pipe.
3. Select suitable insulation and exterior materials.
4. Perform a heat gain calculation.

Initially, planners must understand why LNG pipes require insulation. The primary reasons for insulating LNG pipes include minimizing condensation on the outer surface of the insulation system, limiting heat input to the LNG, and regulating the processes that cause sublimation of the liquid within the piping. A common guideline in the cryogenic pipe support industry is to restrict heat gain through the insulation system to no more than 8 Btu/hr-ft² (25 W/m²) on the outer shell area. While other objectives may exist, they generally focus on addressing these two main concerns.
