Thermal Insulation Handbook for the Oil and Gas Industries addresses relative design, materials, procedures, and standard installation requirements for various oil and gas infrastructure such as pipelines, subsea equipment, vessels, and tanks. With the continued increase in available natural gas ready to export — especially LNG — and the definition of “deepwater” changing every year, an understanding of thermal insulation is more critical than ever.
The handbook covers a variety of topics including design, applications, material selection, cryogenics, and thermal insulation for offshore installations. It is designed to help oil and gas engineers ensure that their products are processed and transported safely and that their equipment’s integrity is protected.
