foam glass pipe/tube insulation

I'm not sure if tube or pipe is more appropriate in your context but "foam glass insulation" is an established term.

See example at http://www.wrap.org.uk/downloads/AUKMarketSurveyForFoamGlass...
"Foam glass is best suited as a rigid insulation material." (p. 6)

German term (edited): Glasschaum-Rohrdaemmung

Glass foam pipe insulation

Glassschaum seems to be called glass foam or foam glass (or cellular glass) - see two examples below.
Example sentence:

Glass foam granulate (GFG) is an ecological insulation and lightweight building material made of 100% waste glass

Cellular glass (foam glass) A lightweight expanded glass with small cells, preferably non-intercommunicating, produced by a foaming process.
