Abstract: A method of insulating tubing comprising the steps of providing the tubing with a jacket of insulating material in web form, fixing the jacket with regard to its described diametrical dimensions, e.g. with a fixing casing, enclosing the jacketed tubing in a continuous tubular outer casing, e.g. by applying relative movement in the longitudinal direction thereof, and subsequently breaking the fixed state of the jacket, thereby to enable the latter to conform in shape to the inner wall of the outer casing.
