Abstract
Disclosed is an insulative support member typically for insulating piping. The insulative support member provides a supportive point of attachment for a hanger to attach the insulated pipe to a ceiling. The support member can provide both insulative value and structural support whereby a hanger can attach to the piping insulation without crushing the insulation.
Claims25
An insulative support member comprising:
- a first material having a compressive strength from about 80 to 120 psi and a density from about 7 to 15 lb/ft3;
- and
- a second material in communication with the first material and the second material having a compressive strength from about 2 to 8 psi and a density from about 2 to 5 lb/ft3.
An insulative support member comprising:
- a bottom section having at least one foamed polymeric region and a foamed ceramic region;
- and
- a top section having at least one foamed polymeric region and a foamed ceramic region and wherein the foamed ceramic region of the top section is operatively aligned with the foamed ceramic region of the bottom section.
An insulative support member comprising:
- a first material having a compressive strength from about 80 to 120 psi and a density from about 7 to 15 lb/ft3;
- a second material having a compressive strength from about 2 to 8 psi and a density from about 2 to 5 lb/ft3;
- and
- a channel running the length of the insulative support member.

A method of forming an insulative support member comprising:
- providing a section of a first material having a compressive strength from about 80 to 120 psi and a density from about 7 to 15 lb/ft3;
- combining a section of a second material having a compressive strength from about 2 to 8 psi and a density from about 2 to 5 lb/ft3 with the section of the first material;
- and
- forming a channel within the combined sections of the first and second material sections.
