Eratherm İzolasyon A.Ş.

Industrial Insulation Engineering

We redefine the boundaries of thermal control by combining over 20 years of deep field experience with academic engineering discipline.

From pipeline systems to nuclear reactor insulation, from the complex cryogenic requirements of satellite launch vehicles to vacuum + MLI solutions — we master the laws of physics at every scale. We engineer the complexity of heat transfer in full compliance with ASTM and EN standards.

About / Engineering & Design

ERATHERM İzolasyon A.Ş. is an engineering firm that has been pushing the boundaries of industrial insulation and thermal management for over 20 years, delivering turnkey solutions on a global scale. We serve across every scale and temperature regime — from thermal, gas-fired and nuclear power plants to petrochemical and cement facilities; from defence industry platforms to the cryogenic systems of satellite launch vehicles.

In our view, insulation is not a cladding operation — it is a precise engineering discipline grounded in the three fundamental laws of thermodynamics: conduction, convection, and radiation. This perspective ensures that every system we design maintains its performance not only today, but throughout its entire planned lifecycle.

From Small Pipes to Satellite Launch Vehicles

ERATHERM engineering teams develop solutions across a broad spectrum — from small-bore precision pipelines to massive industrial boilers, from Small Modular Reactors (SMR) to the vacuum-limited cryogenic systems required by satellite launch vehicles. UAV/UCAV thermal test chambers, infrared signature suppression systems and outgassing-free space-grade materials are also among our areas of expertise.

Our engineering package covers detailed thermal calculations, insulation thickness and support structure analyses, technical specification preparation, and field-ready application detail drawings (Shop Drawings).
