Aluminum sheets are widely used in fabricating metal insulation jacketing. Aluminum is lightweight and has excellent corrosion resistance. Embossed finishes do not show surfaces damages, but they do hold contamination easier than smooth surfaces.
Thickness Information:
– 016″ (0.4mm): Considered the standard for industrial use and recommended on pipelines up to 24″ O.D., which includes the insulation. Primarily used to protect piping, vessels, and tanks that are less than 8 feet in diameter.
– 020″ (0.5mm): Applicable for insulation lines up to 36″ O.D., including insulation. Primary use to protect towers, vessels, and tanks with a diameter greater than 8 feet.
– 024″ (0.6mm): Heavier gauge roll jacketing where extra strength and protection is required.
– 032″ (0.8mm): For areas where extra protection is required, or in custom fabrication of Box covers, tank heads, or heavy wear areas.
