Cold Piping and Tanks

Condensation control, insulation build-up and membrane-based protection for cold pipes and tanks.

Built around condensation control

For cold pipes and tanks, condensation is often the main challenge. When the surface temperature falls below the dew point, condensation can form and over time lead to moisture problems, reduced insulation performance and risk of damage in the build-up.

The solution should therefore be assessed based on temperature, humidity, pipe or tank diameter, vapour barrier requirements and condensation protection. EasyFLEX Roofing helps with information and assessment of membrane protection, vapour barriers, terminations and custom PIB details.

Relevant for cold installations where condensation control matters

Cold pipes and tanks should be assessed as a complete build-up, where insulation, vapour barrier, joints and final protection work together.

Condensation, joints and vapour barrier

For cold installations, condensation is often the decisive factor. The solution should therefore be assessed as a complete build-up, where insulation, vapour barrier, joints, terminations and membrane protection work together.

Small openings, weak joints or an insufficient vapour barrier can allow moisture to reach the insulation and reduce its performance over time.

Custom details for cold pipes and tanks

Cold pipes and tanks often include details where standard solutions are not sufficient. This may be around pipes, flanges, studs, valves, terminations, joints or transitions where watertightness, flexibility and correct protection are critical.

EasyFLEX Roofing and SabetoFLEX can develop custom PIB details for areas that are difficult to seal — including solutions for tanks that expand and contract with temperature and operation.
