Abstract
A pipe insulation system that serves as insulation for a length of pipe contains section of thermoplastic polymer foam that fit circumferentially around a length of pipe, rings of melt barrier material that fit circumferentially around the length of pipe and abut adjacent sections of thermoplastic foam, mesh around the sections of thermoplastic polymer foam and rings of melt barrier material, a metallic covering enclosing the thermoplastic polymer foam, melt barrier material and mesh, and a support band that fits circumferentially around the metallic covering and that holds the pipe insulation system against a length of pipe around which the pipe insulation resides. A ring of melt barrier material is present at the top and bottom of non-horizontal length of pipe and within any 250 centimeter distance along the length of pipe.
