Other types of isolation devices include dielectric materials to maintain
separation between pipelines and casings. In some situations, structural
members are isolated from supports using sheet type dielectric material and
insulating sleeves and washers. A properly isolated casing is shown in Figure

electrical isolating device, be certain that the materials of constructions meet
the service requirements, both from the standpoint of temperature and
mechanical properties.
