Abstract
A corrosion inhibiting liner for a pipe support includes a flexible mat containing spaced-apart slots; and a cylindrically-curved buffer in tight engagement with the mat in each slot, wherein the cylindrically-curved buffer is made of a non-metallic, non-elastomer material that can withstand compressive strength of at least 8,000 psi, and has a friction coefficient less than 0.35. The slots are dove-tail slots, and the greatest thickness of the mat combined with a buffer is less than three-fourths of an inch. The length of each buffer is substantially the same, and is within the range of 1.5 inch to 24 inches.
