During install ‘weatherproof sheeting must be used during inclement weather and after each day's application, Installation must be perfouned generally to standards normally accepted as first class workmanship. The finished cladding must be of good appearance and free from dents and sharp edges. Nameplates, code inspection plates and stampings on equipment must be left permanently visible and the cladding must be properly sealed around them. If the above requirement is impracticable, a second plate supplied by British Gas and Permanently marked with the same information and with the work ‘DUPLICATE’ must be fixed on the outside of the cladding in the most convenient, adjacent position. Acoustic cladding General ‘The relevant British Gas standards are: BGC PC PWC] - Acoustic cladding. Part! - Cladding of gas pipe and equipment Part2 Notes for guidance. Cladding js defined as ‘an assembly comprising porous insulation material with a metal outer AEE. The purpose of the cladding in this application isto cut down noise, typically by 10. 20 4B. Painting Inspection Grade 3/2 3 Appendix BMaterials ‘The insulation is usually in the form if semi-rigid sections. For small bore pipework, 25 mm diameter and below, flexible woo! or fibrous materials may be used. ‘The insulation is typically SO — 100 mm thick and must comprise of non-toxic materials including materials which release non-toxic fumes during a fire. ‘The metal jacket must be aluminium alloy, or galvanized mild steel sheet where greater rigidity is required, ‘Ihe thickness of the jacket must be related to ‘the durability and strength required, ‘case of fitting and costs but will normally be between 0.7mm and 1.6 mm thick. Galvanized materials, ot any materials which contain zinc, must not be used on stainless steel due to the danger of causing zinc embrittlement. Insulation banding may be metallic or non-metallic. If metallic, it must be of the same material as the jacket. Mastic sealants and rubber or neoprene bedding strips used must, be suitable for use at ‘temperatures between ~20°C to 50°C with occasional increases up to 80°C. Nuts, bolts, screws and washers must be either stainless steel ot zine metal coated mild steel Application of materials ‘The basic sequence for the application of acoustic cladding: 1 Preparation. 2 Insulation plus fixing. 3 Repeat insulation and fixing if required. 4 Metal cladding plus fixing. All surfaces to be clad must be clean and dry. For pipework up to approximately 300 mm, preformed section of insulation must be cut and profiled to fit, and secured at 450 mm intervals with banding strip. For greater diameters, flexible flat forms of insulation, e.g, mattresses, must be used. ‘The jacket should not be allowed to come into direct contact with the noise radiating structure or «with its supports, but should cover the whole noise radiating area without gaps or voids ‘The finished insulation must be even, solid, tightly joined and well secured. Where two layers of insulation are specified, then both the longitudinal and circumferential seams must be staggered. Pointing Inspection Grade 3/2 4 Appendix B{ihe insulation must be completely covered by a metal jacket. All overlapped joints must be at least 25 mm, bonded with mastic sealant, and must be arranged to shed water. ‘The metal jacket must never touch the pipe or equipment. Clearance between the metal jacket and branches should be approximately 6 mm and filled with ‘mastic, Potential metallic contact at other similar locations is also important to consider suis metal jackets of all acoustic cladding must be continuously bonded together by a strip of Jacketing metal and connected to the pipe, however, cladding must not act as an elecricad bridge over isolation joints, ‘Thermal insulation General ‘The relevant British Gas standard is: GC PS PWC2 —- Thermal insulation of above ground pipework and equipment. Are “insulation in this application is used for heat conservation, cold conservation, personnel Protection, anti-condensation, frost protection and for the maintenance of operating temperatures. Temperatures applicable are from -200°C to 1000°C depending on the application, Materials Insulating materials ‘The insulating materials proposed for any application must be selected from the following types: a) — Glass fibre. b) — Foamed glass. ©) Rock wool. 4) Modified slay wool. ©) Expanded perlite. f) Vermiculite (loose granular fill). 8) Calcium silicate. h) Phenolic foam (not within buildings ~ toxic during combustion) ') Polyisocyanurate (not within buildings — toxic during combustion). ‘The insulating materials used must not contain substances which support pesls or encourage the Growth of fungi. ‘They must not cause a known hazard to health from particles or toxic fumes, during application, whilst in use or on removal The insulating materials used may be applied in layers depending on the total thickness required; Jn some cases up to approximately 400 mm total thickness may be specified. Painting Inspection Grade 3/2 5 Appendix BProtective coverings Protective coverings include: Vapour seals ~ vapour sealing compound, preferably trowelling grade, which has an interposed scrim cloth made of woven glass cloth. Vapour sealing tape may also be used. Vapour seals are used for cryogenic applications. Metal cladding - galvanized mild steel must be used, unless stainless steel is being insulated, in which case aluminium alloy sheet is used. Hard-setting composition/self-setting cement and glass cloth may also be used as protective coverings as an alternative to metal cladding in certain circumstances. jing materials To hold down it ‘lating materials and protective coverings, the following may be used: 2) Wire netting ~ used to hold down insulation but only used with hard-setting or self-setting ‘cement as a protective covering. b) Binding wire. ©) Binding tape. 4) Fixing bands. e) _ Selftapping screws. f) Nuts, bolts and other fastenings. g) Adhesives. hh) Anti-abrasion compound. i) Joint sealant Application of materi “The basic sequence for application for general heat conservation and protection: Preparation.
