Pipes made from insulation not insulating

I *think* I have the same problem.

I finally built a Hydrogen engine and made some liquid Hydrogen, too.

As I start pumping liquid hydrogen towards the Liquid Fuel storage, the Insulated pipes cause the hydrogen to boil, not only damaging the pipe but also releasing it.

That said, not a single gram of hydrogen made it to the engine.

I am fine the fact that an Insulated pipe has to cool down first, but there are two thing to boiling: heat and pressure.

There is not much I can do about the heat it seems, but how do I make high pressure in the pipe to prevent boiling of the Hydrogen within?

Are you planning on high pressure liquid pipes, pumps and valves for the future?

 

Did anyone manage to fill a rocket's liquid tank with Hydrogen? (How?)

Thermal conductivity is based on the average of the two materials unless you're using Insulated piping or tiles, in which case it uses the minimum.  Using normal piping made out of insulation effectively only halves thermal transfer.  This is how it's been for several upgrades now.

That's interesting, as the game explicitly states that energy transfer is determined by "the object with the lowest Thermal Conductivity". If it was calculated by the average, everything should be affected, including non-insulated tiles. Moreover, a thermal conductivity of 0 should mean it is unable to change in temperature, as it can't receive or distribute thermal energy.
