High-temperature pre insulated pipelines are industrial piping systems designed specifically for transporting high-temperature media.
They are prefabricated in a factory and incorporate highly efficient insulation structures.
They are then transported to the construction site for direct installation.
This design improves construction efficiency, insulation quality, and system reliability.

(1) Working Pipe for Medium Transportation
The core component of high-temperature prefabricated insulated pipes is the working pipe.
It is responsible for transporting high-temperature media such as steam, high-temperature hot water, or thermal oil.
The material selection depends on the medium's temperature, pressure, and corrosiveness, with options including carbon steel, alloy steel, or stainless steel.
For example, in a steel jacketed steam pipe system, the working pipe can withstand high temperatures and pressures.
(2) Insulation Layer for Thermal Insulation
An insulation layer is installed around the working pipe, typically made of materials such as alumina-silica fiber, calcium silicate, rock wool, slag wool, or composite insulation structures.
The functions of the insulation layer are:
To minimize heat loss and maintain the medium temperature
To reduce the surface temperature of the pipe, ensuring construction and operational safety
To prevent condensation droplets from falling (for pipes transporting hot water or steam)
(3) Outer protective pipe structure
The outermost layer is the outer protective pipe, primarily serving the following functions:
Protecting the insulation layer from physical damage
Preventing moisture intrusion into the insulation layer to avoid reduced insulation performance
Resisting chemical corrosion from soil or groundwater
Common materials include high-density polyethylene (HDPE), steel casing (for steel sleeve insulated steel pipe), or fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP).
