Abstract
A method of insulating a pipe is described wherein a tubular sheathing comprising a radially slitted, tubular member of bonded mineral fibers oriented essentially in planes perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the tubular member, and a sheet material, which by gluing is attached to the outer side of the tubular member, is mounted so as to envelop the pipe. The method being characterized in that the tubular sheathing, prior to being mounted on the pipe, is alternatingly compressed and stretched in the axial direction in a zone in which the tubular sheathing is to insulate a bend on the pipe.

A method of insulating a pipe wherein a tubular sheathing comprising an optionally radially slitted tubular member of bonded mineral fibres oriented essentially in planes perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the tubular member and a sheet material (4) which by gluing is attached to the outer side of the tubular member, is mounted so as to envelop the pipe, characterized in that the tubular sheathing, prior to being mounted on the pipe, is alternatingly compressed and stretched in axial direction in a zone in which the tubular sheathing is to insulate a bend on the pipe.
