9.0.3 PROCEDURE
 METHOD STATEMENT
Fiberglass insulation

 Installation procedures

Applying the fiberglass Rigid Rolls:

1. Straight Pipes:

 Make sure the pipe surface to be insulated is clean and dry from dust, oil or grease.
 Apply one coat of adhesive over the pipe surface, as per Adhesive manufacturers
Instruction.
 Apply the required glue on the pipe surface to insulated.
 Fix the preformed rigid section by opening snap on side enough to insert over the
pipe.
 Press the section all over to achieve bonding between pipe and insulation.
 Keep the overlap over the section.
 Apply a light coat of adhesive on down part of overlap and fix it over the section -
take care no wrinkles are formed.
 Wipe out any adhesive spill over by using a dry cotton cloth - make sure the surface
is dry off adhesive.
 Fix 75 mm Aluglass Tape preferably UL Listed centric to lap and section surface of
long seam and joints between sections.
 Press the tape using smooth edged plastic card (used telephone cards also found
ok) - make sure there are no wrinkles formed in the process of fixing the tape.
 While fixing the next length make sure a coat of adhesive is applied on any face on
either of section of continuous joint.
 Fix Aluglass tape preferably UL Listed equally centred between two sections.

2. Joints at Support:

 Insert Fix the sections from either side of insert using coat of adhesive at each
faces of substrate and make sure the insulation is friction fit.
 Apply Aluglass tape centric to the insert allowing equal tape lap over insulation on
both side.

Applying foster 30-36:

 Apply a tack coat of 30-36 at 60-70 sq. ft. per gal (1.5-1.7 m2/l).
 Immediately imbed the selected lagging fabric into the wet coating. Smooth to avoid
wrinkles and overlap seams by at least 2 inches (5 cm).
 Immediately apply a finish coat at 60-70 sq. ft. per gal. (1.5-1.7 m2/l). The dry film
thickness of this application will vary with the fabric selected.
 Use clean paint brushes (suitable for water-base paints). Apply with full brush and
spread out evenly.

 Procedure for the storage of Insulation

Materials
 METHOD STATEMENT
Fiberglass insulation

 The Fiberglass Rigid Rolls will be stored in a shaded in a shaded area for
Insulation materials with tarpaulin form direct sun and in accordance with
manufacturer’s recommendations.
 It will be ensured that the Insulation materials do not come into contact with
sharp projections.
 The insulation material will be stored in a flat level area and raised above the
ground on timber so that the lowest point of any roll is not less than 150 mm
above the ground.
 The insulation material will be stacked in such a manner so that the height of
the stacked pipes does not exceed 2 metres.
 Foster 30-36 stored in site Store and apply between 40°F (4°C) and 100°F
(38°C) in a dry area in its own puckets.
