What are use using due to lack of insulated bridges?

why do you need insulated bridges? 

insulated liquid and gas bridges to align with my insulated pipes to prevent heating/cooling.....I thought that was obvious unless you are being rhetorical?

bridges don't transfer heat from the liquids and gases they contain

bingo, it always was

think of bridges like teleporters, the gas/liquids get "teleported" from the input to the output so they are never inside the bridge to transfer heat

Been playing this game since before outbreak and never knew that....live and learn.

Not only they do not transfer heat from liquids/gases, they also teleport the liquid/gas from one side to the other. You can deconstruct them while in use and they won't spill their content (because they contain nothing)

Useful to invert the flow in case you need to empty the pipes.

No. Abysallite would give bridges +200c overheat. Bridges used to overheat at 75c. Apparently they have removed overheating from bridges? They no longer list an overheat temperature in the description.

I just tested an igneous bridge in 100C oil. No overheating.

Nice! I just did a test with an obsidian bridge in liquid copper and it did not overheat at 1900C. Looks like bridge overheating is no longer an issue.

seems way bridge works is that   it just directly connects 2 pipes.      the pipe are already built at the square block connects of the bridge.   when the element goes to the square it "jumps"  to the other square.   so the in between isn't actually containing any element at all.

which is kind of odd, cuz you can use bridges to accelerate the speed of element movement/flow through the pipes.

it wasn't, bridges can overheat and break due to ambient temperature, abyssalite bridges raises the overheat temperature by a lot to prevent that. Since space industry upgrade ceramic can be used instead.
