Welded and flanged piping systems are used in applications where leak integrity, pressure rating, and long-term reliability are critical. However, traditional insulation systems often introduce failure risks by absorbing moisture, degrading over time, and restricting access to welds and bolted connections.
Dragon Jacket insulation is engineered as a fully encapsulated, closed-cell system that prevents moisture ingress, resists mechanical damage, and maintains consistent thermal performance over the life of the piping system.
Designed for Standard Pipe Geometries
Dragon Jacket insulation is engineered to integrate with welded and flanged piping systems manufactured to industry-standard dimensions, including:
- Carbon Steel Pipe — ASME B36.10M
- Stainless Steel Pipe — ASME B36.19M
- Process & Power Piping Systems — ASME B31.3 / B31.1
- Flanges & Bolted Connections — ASME B16.5 / B16.47
Components are designed to match standard pipe diameters, wall thicknesses, and flange geometries, ensuring a consistent, repeatable fit across the entire system.
45° Elbow Insulation
Permanent Insulation for Permanent Assets
Engineered for the Lifecycle of Welded Systems
Welded piping systems are designed for decades of service, but conventional insulation systems often require replacement due to moisture intrusion and material breakdown.
Dragon Jacket eliminates these failure modes with a non-absorptive, fully encapsulated design that prevents water ingress and addresses the primary conditions that lead to corrosion under insulation (CUI), particularly in carbon steel systems.
Designed for NDT Access
Inspection Without Insulation Replacement
Welded systems require periodic inspection using non-destructive testing (NDT) methods such as ultrasonic or radiographic testing. Traditional insulation must be cut and replaced to access welds.
Dragon Jacket’s removable clamshell design allows insulation to be removed and reinstalled without damage, enabling direct access to welds and flanges while eliminating recurring insulation replacement costs.
90° Elbow Insulation
Flange Insulation
Defense Against the Invisible Threat
Total Mitigation of Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI)
In a welded system, a single point of corrosion can threaten the entire line’s pressure rating. Dragon Jacket eliminates the primary cause of pipe failure by preventing moisture ingress entirely. Our chemically resistant and UV-stable exterior ensures that even in the harshest industrial environments, your welded joints remain bone-dry and visible for inspection, effectively ending the cycle of “out of sight, out of mind” corrosion.
Precision Fit for Complex Geometries
Total Coverage for Every Joint and Junction
Welded systems aren’t just straight lines—they are complex networks of elbows, tees, and crosses. Generic wraps often leave gaps at these critical junctions, creating thermal leaks and moisture entry points. Dragon Jacket’s engineered components are molded to the exact specifications of standard welded fittings, providing a tight, professional seal that maintains thermal efficiency across your entire infrastructure.
Tee Insulation
Built for Installation Efficiency
Dragon Jacket eliminates the need for multi-layer, field-applied insulation systems, allowing installation by mechanical insulation contractors or qualified piping crews, reducing labor complexity and improving installation consistency.

Engineered for Every Welded Component
Precision Fit for Your Entire System
A welded system is a complex assembly of unique geometries. Using generic insulation on 90° elbows or tees creates weak points where heat escapes and moisture enters. We provide custom-engineered fits for every component in your welded line:
- Straight Pipe Sections: Continuous protection for long-run distribution.
- Short & Long Radius Elbows: Snug, gap-free coverage for directional changes.
- Insulated Pipe Saddles: Elimination of thermal bridging at every support point.
- Valve & Fitting Covers: Removable protection for welded-in components that still require regular access.
