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

Project Challenge

Cold-service systems need insulation selection that considers low temperature, condensation control, vapor-barrier continuity, joints and mechanical protection.

Information to Collect

  • Service temperature
  • Pipe or equipment size
  • Target insulation thickness
  • Vapor barrier design
  • Outdoor or indoor exposure

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

  1. Confirm service temperature, equipment dimensions, available thickness and exposure.
  2. Define vapor barrier, mechanical protection and termination details.
  3. 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.

Application FAQ

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.
