Not every plant has standard pipe runs, standard geometry, or standard temperatures. When your application falls outside the catalog — whether it’s an irregular geometry, an extreme operating condition, or an OEM-specific requirement — RAPID can be engineered precisely to fit.
We design, fabricate, and deliver custom insulation that installs the same way as our standard line: fast, tool-free, and reusable.
Custom RAPID solutions use the same rigid metal shell construction and adjustable latch system as our standard products — engineered to exact project specifications. Here’s what we can modify:
| Customizable Parameter | What This Means for Your Project |
|---|---|
| Shape / Geometry | Non-standard fittings, irregular pipe runs, transition spools, and complex multi-plane components can all be accommodated using precision 3D design and manufacturing. |
| Insulation Material | Interior blanket and insulation material is selected based on your temperature range, thermal conductivity requirements, and any plant-specific material specifications. |
| Color Coating | PVDF color coatings are available for plant zoning, safety coding, or EPC specifications — durable and resistant to industrial environments. |
| Jacketing Material | The outer shell material is matched to your operating environment — from stainless or aluminum. |
| Insulation Thickness | Thermal calculations drive thickness selection to meet your target surface temperature, heat loss budget, or energy code requirements. |
| Pipe / Component Size | Any NPS diameter and schedule can be accommodated — including large-bore pipe, valves, and equipment that fall outside standard catalog sizes. |
Most common piping configurations are covered by our Standard Products . Our engineering team has designed custom RAPID solutions for power generation, nuclear, and petrochemical applications — including piping systems operating above 1,000°F, large-bore transition spools, and multi-component assemblies with no standard equivalent. A custom solution is typically required when one or more of the following applies:
| Application Requirement | Why Custom RAPID May Be Required |
|---|---|
| Non-standard pipe geometry or fittings | Transition spools, custom elbows, or unique component configurations not covered by standard sizes. |
| Large-bore piping beyond standard range | Pipe diameters, wall schedules, or valve body sizes not available in the standard lineup. |
| Irregular Geometry Fabrication | Complex equipment and non-standard configurations fabricated to match exact field dimensions. |
| Operating temperatures beyond standard limits | Applications exceeding the thermal rating of standard interior blankets require upgraded material selection. |
| Space constraints or interference requirements | Tight clearances around adjacent equipment, flanges, or structural steel that require a precision-fit shell profile. |
| OEM or EPC procurement specifications | Projects governed by third-party specifications, procurement standards, or owner-controlled engineering requirements. |
| Plant color-coding or identification requirements | PVDF color coatings and labeling requirements tied to safety or operational zoning programs. |

After
Every custom RAPID project begins with a structured consultation to define what the application requires. When on-site access is needed, a trained technician is dispatched to take field measurements and document system conditions — using traditional methods or high-precision 3D laser scanning equipment.
Those measurements feed directly into our design and fabrication workflow, eliminating the guesswork that leads to rework. The result: a custom insulation system that fits the first time, installs in the same quick-latch manner as our standard products, and is built for repeated removal and reinstallation over the system’s operational life.
