In the liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry chain, storage tanks and pipeline systems operate at extremely low temperatures, typically around -162°C, necessitating stringent requirements for the low-temperature resistance, stability, and safety of insulation materials. LNG elastic felt, due to its excellent low-temperature flexibility and extremely low thermal conductivity, has become a commonly used insulation material for cryogenic storage tanks and pipelines.
LNG elastic felt employs a fiber structure design, maintaining its flexibility and preventing brittleness even at low temperatures. Its porous structure effectively blocks heat transfer, preventing external heat from entering the pipeline or tank interior, ensuring the stability of LNG during transportation and storage. The material's low density reduces the structural load on the storage tank, making the insulation system safer and more reliable.
In engineering applications, LNG elastic felt must be used in conjunction with metal outer cladding or composite protective layers to enhance mechanical strength and wind erosion resistance. Standardized insulation installation can significantly reduce cold loss, improve tank insulation efficiency, and lower operating costs. As a stable cryogenic insulation material, LNG elastic felt has become an indispensable component of modern LNG engineering.
