Project Challenge
Cold-service systems need insulation selection that considers low temperature, condensation control, vapor-barrier continuity, joints and mechanical protection.
Application Guide
Aerogel Insulation for LNG and Cryogenic Applications
Flexible aerogel insulation materials can be evaluated for cryogenic pipes, equipment and cold-service systems where low-temperature performance, condensation control and installation space are important.
ApplicationLNG & Cryogenic Insulation
Selection begins with actual project conditions.
Cryogenic blanket service range-200 °C to 125 °C
Cryogenic conductivity0.0125 W/(m·K) at -159 °C

System Limits
- This summary is not a complete LNG-system insulation or vapor-barrier design.
- Water-vapor ingress, supports, joints and jacketing must be designed for the actual operating cycle.
Verification Steps
- Confirm service temperature, equipment dimensions, available thickness and exposure.
- Define vapor barrier, mechanical protection and termination details.
- Review the selected grade and complete system against project requirements.
Documentation and project review
Request the technical document set for the selected product grade, then verify it against the substrate, test method, system build and operating conditions.

Does hydrophobicity remove the need for a vapor barrier?
No. Vapor-barrier design should be made for the full cold-service system and its operating conditions.
