Piping & Fitting Covers

Removable Flange Insulation Covers

For indoor steam or hot-water bolted joints that need periodic access. Start with the flange pair dimensions and the clearance around the joint.

Proposed design for quotation

Start with a split wrap, removable closures and openings sized for the pipe or adjoining insulation. Agree seam position and the access needed for bolt work.

Construction options
Compare coated glass-fibre facings and fibrous insulation. A nominal 25 mm core can be priced as a comparison option if the available space and thermal requirement support it.
Dimensions to supply
Record flange outside diameter, overall joint width including bolt projection, adjoining insulation diameter and radial clearance.
Acceptance checks
Agree the installed envelope and removal path. Confirm that the design suits the site's inspection and leak-detection requirements before covering the joint.

The material and thickness above are starting points for supplier review. The written quote specifies the agreed construction and operating limits. See the published hot-service specification example.

One-piece inquiries are welcome. The quotation confirms feasible quantity after design and supplier review. View quotation and dispatch terms →

What to measure before requesting a quote

Flange outside diameter, face-to-face envelope, and bolt projection on both sides.

Keep accessible · Fasteners, the joint inspection area, and the removal path.

TECHNICAL SELECTION

Decisions to make before specifying a cover

Confirm the equipment and operating requirements below before the supplier proposes the final construction and operating limits.

  • Equipment type, size and the datum used for each dimension
  • One unit system for the whole item schedule, and a revision identifier per drawing
  • Operating and maximum temperature recorded separately, with the working medium
  • Service access: handwheels, actuators, nameplates, inspection points and removal direction
  • Existing insulation, supports and adjacent equipment that limit the removable envelope
  • Any buyer-specified standard or documentation requirement, listed as a question rather than a claim
What we need

Information to prepare

  • Nominal pipe size and flange face type for each item
  • Flange outer diameter, bolt circle and bolt count where available
  • Available radial and axial clearance around the flange pair
  • Whether gasket area and bolts must remain accessible for inspection
  • An item schedule with consistent units and a tagging convention
  • Operating and maximum temperature, working medium and environment
Measurement record

Points to record with units

  • Outside diameter of the flange and of any existing insulation
  • Distance between flange faces and to the nearest obstruction
  • Bolt circle diameter and bolt projection
  • Adjacent valve, support or wall clearances on both sides
  • Drainage or leak-detection points that must stay visible
  • Quantity per size and location identifier for the item schedule
Structure questions

Design considerations

  • A split-ring concept and a wraparound band concept are both shown in the gallery as structural references.
  • Whether a cover can be removed without disturbing the joint is a question for technical review.
  • Paired flanges are recorded as one item or two according to the buyer's schedule.

Specifications for a written quote

Flange pair dimensions

Nominal size and class, actual outside diameter, joint width including both flanges, and protruding studs or nuts.

Record normal and peak operating temperatures, their units, and the environment around the equipment.

Published industry reference

The data sheet lists DN15–DN400 for its flange jacket range. Record actual dimensions when specifying the fit.

Spirax Sarco lists maximum equipment surface temperatures of 240 °C for its standard variant and 425 °C for its high-temperature variant. These figures apply to the listed configurations.

The data sheet lists silicone-coated glass fibre fabric and mineral fibre insulation. Use these as comparison points when reviewing supplier material data.
