Aluminum – Stainless Steel Jacket & Fittings

Aluminum & Stainless Steel Jacket

Aluminum Jacketing

Aluminum Jacketing is the protective outer surface for mechanical insulation systems including pipe, vessels, and equipment. It protects the insulation and underlying pipe/vessel from physical damage, UV exposure, corrosive atmospheres, and water.

Aluminum jacketing is available in smooth, stucco embossed, and 3/16 corrugated (cross-crimped) finishes.

Aluminum Jacketing is also known as cladding.

Recommended Uses

Aluminum Jacketing is recommended for use in all the following insulation system applications:

Standard outdoor use on all pipe, vertical tank insulation systems up to 8 ft outer diameter, and all horizontal tanks.

Indoor insulation system applications up to 8 ft outer diameter where increased damage resistance is desired.

Stainless Steel Jacket

Stainless Steel Roll Jacketing is manufactured from T-304 and T-316 prime grade Stainless Steels. These alloys comply with ASTM A-240 and are supplied with a regular dull finish for reduced glare. The yield strength is 30,000-45,000 PSI and the tensile strength is 75,000-110,000 PSI. These alloys are of a special soft-annealed temper, for ease in fabrication. T-304 is normally used in all except the most corrosive areas, where T-316 is recommended.

RECOMMENDED USES

Chemical Plants and Refineries:

Urea units, fertilizer plants, caustic facilities, petrochemical plants, and aluminum refineries.

Steel Mills:

Coke ovens, oxygen steel making furnaces, by- product plants, aromatic plants, and steam distribution facilities.

Paper Mills:

Digester areas, white and black liquor tanks, bleach tanks, chemical pulping, and waste treatment tanks.

Miscellaneous:

Areas of high incidence of abuse on bridges, walkways and service roads, areas of high fire incidence, food processing facilities, packing plants and freeze facilities.

Aluminum Fittings

Aluminum Elbow Covers are made in two precision formed matching halves to cover and weatherproof insulated 45° and 90° pipe elbows.

Aluminum Fittings are a protective outer surface for insulation systems on pipe and are an excellent performing and critical accessory to complement the aluminum jacketing.

Recommended Uses

Aluminum Elbow Covers are recommended for use anywhere aluminum jacketing is used on the associated straight sections of pipe but are especially critical when the straight pipe aluminum jacketing uses PFMB.

Aluminum Fittings

JM Polyfilm lined Aluminum Elbow Covers are made in two precision formed matching halves to cover and weatherproof insulated 45° and 90° pipe elbows. These elbow covers are called Ell-Jacs™ Plus by JM.

Like JM Aluminum Jacketing, Ell-Jacs™ Plus are a premier protective outer surface for insulation systems on pipe and are an excellent performing and critical accessory to complement the aluminum jacketing. Ell-Jacs™ Plus protect the insulation and underlying pipe from physical damage, UV exposure, corrosive atmospheres, and water. They also reduce the time and labor needed to install the metal jacketing system.

Ell-Jacs™ Plus have a 3 mil (76 micron) three-layer Polyfilm Moisture Barrier (PFMB) that is factory heat laminated to the interior surface. When coupled with the ultrapure 1100 alloy used in these elbows, this moisture barrier reduces pitting/crevice and galvanic corrosion potential of the interior surface of the elbow cover and the underlying pipe.

Ell-Jacs™ Plus have a factory applied and baked on finish of highly durable hard film clear acrylic or polyester paint on the exterior surface to help resist external corrosion and to raise the emittance. The special paint used on the exterior surface of Ell-Jacs™ Plus is chalk and fade resistant. It exhibits better resistance to oxidation and to the effects of various corrosive environments than bare aluminum jacketing. This painted surface also resists water, scratching, and fingerprint staining.

Aluminum Multi-Fit

JM Multi-Fit Aluminum Elbow Covers are made in two precision formed matching halves to cover and weatherproof insulated 90° pipe elbows. These elbow covers were formerly known as Childers Ribbed Univers-Ells.

Each JM Multi -Fit Aluminum Elbow Cover is designed to fit over 90° insulation elbows with a specific outer diameter regardless of the pipe size, use of long or short radius pipe elbows, or insulation thickness. The thirteen sizes of JM Multi Fit Aluminum Elbow Covers will fit 111 combinations of NPS and insulation thickness up to a nominal outer insulation diameter of 12.75 inches.

JM Multi-Fit Aluminum Elbow Covers protect the insulation and underlying pipe from physical damage, UV exposure, corrosive atmospheres, and water and reduce the labor necessary to install the metal jacketing system.

Limitations on Use

JM Multi-Fit Aluminum Elbow Covers are not appropriate for the following applications:

  • For applications where a maximum resistance to fire is required, JM stainless steel elbow covers should be used
  • Where maximum resistance to corrosion is required, JM stainless st eel elbow covers should be used

Recommended Uses

Multi -Fit Aluminum Elbow Covers are recommended for use when a reduced number of possible elbow sizes are desired and aluminum jacketing is used on the associated straight sections of pipe.

Advantages

JM Stainless Steel Sure-Fit/Ell-Jac elbows are the closest fitting elbow insulation covers available from any source. They are designed to allow for a 7/16″ circumferential overlap, and are manufactured to conform to ASTM C-450 Method of Fabrication and ASTM C-585 (table 7A) Outer Diameters of Insulation. Descriptive labels are affixed to the underside of the fittings identifying interchangeable sizes, rather than listing only one size. This information can help you save valuable inventory space and allows greater flexibility on the jobsite.
