XTRU-THERM® PLUS

Product catalog summary

Introduction
PERMA-PIPE's XTRU-THERM® PLUS is an advanced piping system designed for energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. It features a unique spray process for applying polyurethane foam, resulting in a uniform cell structure and low thermal conductivity, enhancing insulation performance.

Specifications
The system includes a fully engineered design with pre-fabricated components such as straight lengths, elbows, tees, anchors, and end seals. The service pipe is made from ASTM A53 Gr. B carbon steel, with specific welding requirements based on pipe size. The exterior is coated with options like epoxy, urethane elastomer, or zinc for corrosion protection.

Insulation and Jacket
The insulation is polyurethane foam with a minimum density of 2 lb/ft³ and a closed cell content of 90%. An aluminum diffusion barrier is applied to prevent aging by stopping the diffusion of the blowing agent. The outer jacket is made of seamless HDPE, adhering to ASTM D3350 standards.

Performance and Environmental Impact
The system is designed to reduce heat loss, thereby saving energy and reducing CO2 emissions. For example, using non-aged foam in a 300-foot hot water pipe can save significant CO2 emissions, equivalent to planting 78 trees.

Installation and Testing
All components are factory-fabricated to minimize field connections. The service pipe undergoes hydrostatic testing, and field joints are sealed with a heat shrinkable sleeve. The system complies with ASME B31.1 standards.

Conclusion
XTRU-THERM® PLUS offers a sustainable solution for district heating and cooling, providing long-term energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact.

GREEN FOAM = GREEN PRODUCT = GREEN ENVIRONMENT OPTIONAL SHOT BLASTED STEEL PIPE SPRAY APPLIED HFC POLYURETHANE FOAM HDPE JACKET ALUMINUM DIFFUSION BARRIER OPTIONAL CORROSION PROTECTION COATING GREEN FOAM PERMA-PIPE’s spray process for applying polyurethane foam results in the most uniform cell structure and therefore the lowest possible insulating value (K). Our blowing agent is an HFC which has no ozone depleting chemicals. Green foam with the lowest K value results in the lowest heat loss and the most energy efficient piping system. ANTI-AGING Don’t be fooled by initial K factor. Polyurethane...
