1. Scope
1.1 This practice is intended as a dimensional standard for
preformed rigid thermal insulation for pipes and tubing.
1.2 This practice covers insulation supplied in cylindrical
sections, usually split into half-sections, and lists recommended inner and outer diameters of insulation having nominal
wall thicknesses from 1 to 5 in. (25 to 127 mm) to fit over
standard sizes of pipe and tubing.
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded
as the standard. The values stated in SI units are provided for
information only.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address the safety
concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
5. Procedure
NOTE 1Suggested tolerances are shown for information purposes
only.
5.1 Measurement:
5.1.1 Measurement of inner and outer diameters shall be
made to the nearest 132 in. (0.8 mm) using a steel tape or rule.
5.1.1.1 Half SectionsThe diameter reported for each halfsection shall be the average of six measurements taken at three
locations including two near the ends and one near the center
(see Fig. 1a and Fig. 2a). Three of the six readings shall be
taken in the longitudinal plane of the flat, cut surface: the other
three shall each be twice a half-diameter in the longitudinal
plane at right angles to that of the first three (see Fig. 1b and
Fig. 2b).
5.1.1.2 Hinged SectionsThe diameter reported for each
hinged section shall be the average of four measurements taken
at both ends of the section (two per end) (see Fig. 3). The two
measurements at each end shall be at right angles.
5.2 Recommended Inner Diameters:
5.2.1 Inner diameters and suggested tolerances for nominal
sizes of insulation for pipe are shown in Table 1. Iron pipe in
sizes for 412 , 5, 7-in. (113, 125, 175-mm), and larger
odd-numbered diameters is not standard, but insulation for
these is included for multi-layer purposes.
5.2.2 Inner diameters and suggested tolerances for nominal
sizes of tubing through 6 in. (150-mm) are shown in Table 2.
5.3 Recommended Outer Diameters:

4. Significance and Use
4.1 The purpose of this practice is to ensure satisfactory fit
on standard sizes, to accommodate radial expansion of pipes
and tubes which are heated after being insulated, and to
minimize the number of insulation sizes and thicknesses to be
manufactured and stocked.
4.2 While insulation may be manufactured to these recommended dimensions, care should be exercised in attempting to
