OVERVIEW of Sproule WR-1200® |
Sproule WR-1200® is a pre-formed, high-temperature, non-wicking pipe and block insulation. It is composed of expanded perlite that is uniformly reinforced with a high-strength fiber for use on systems operating up to 1200°F (649°C). Sproule WR-1200® is inorganic, non-combustible and meets or exceeds the physical property requirements of ASTM C610. It is produced with XOX, a distinctive formula that inhibits corrosion to outside surfaces of pipe and equipment, especially stress corrosion cracking of austenitic stainless steel. Sproule WR-1200° is blue in color to ensure it can be identified as asbestos-free.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS of Sproule WR-1200® |
Advantages
Pipe insulation sections shrink-wrapped with poly film for protection from abrasion during shipment.
Block insulation manufactured with reinforcing scrim to enhance structural integrity.
Applications
Because of its compressive strength, low thermal conductivity and corrosion inhibiting properties, it is a product for application on high-temperature piping and equipment. In industrial processing and power generation facilities, Sproule WR-1200® is the preferred product for stainless steel piping, which is very susceptible to stress corrosion cracking at operating temperatures above 140°F (60°C). The XOX feature inhibits corrosion where moisture and chlorides may become trapped between insulation and stainless steel.
Sproule WR-1200® pipe insulation is 36"(914 mm) in length, and is available in thicknesses from 1" to 4" (25 mm to 102 mm) in 1/2" (15 mm) increments. Thicker walled material is furnished in double layers.
Sproule WR-1200® flat block insulation is [6" (152mm) and 12" (305 mm) wide] and 36" (914 mm) in length, and is available in thicknesses from 1" to 4" (25 mm to 102 mm) in 1/2" (15 mm) increments.
** Double layered pipe insulation is available for heat-traced line applications
