c) Finish fiberglass tape with weatherproofing mastic applied sufficiently thick to result in
a minimum dry film thickness of 2 mm.
Heat traced bridles shall be insulated in accordance with the insulation requirements specified for
piping.
8.11 Insulation Finish
All insulation terminations on piping and equipment shall be metal finished and weather tight.

(a) For services down to and including -30oF. (operating temperature): The insulation
joints shall be completely sealed with waterproofing mastic (Childers CP-30 or equal)
and a vapor barrier of FSK or ASJ jacket will be installed with all joints being sealed
with mastic (not tape).
(b) For services below -30oF. (Operating temperature): The insulation joints shall be
completely sealed with waterproofing mastic (Childers CP-30 or equal). The vapor
barrier shall consist of one of the two following methods:
(1) A coat of mastic, a layer of fab cloth (Childers Chill-Glass or equal) and another coat of mastic.
(2) A layer of Polyguard Insulrap 50 (or equal with Company approval), applied per manufacturer's
recommended procedure. Provide a minimum of 2" overlap width on all joints. Protect from sunlight.
All pipe fittings and flanges shall be completely insulated. All valves shall be insulated up to but not
including the packing gland or nut except for control valves with extended bonnets, these shall be
insulated to the bonnet flange. Insulation is to be sealed.
The insulation shall be covered with a 0.020" stucco embossed aluminum sheet with moisture barrier
facing. The covering for lines with an insulation diameter less than or equal to 6" is to be held in
place with 1/2" wide stainless steel bands on not more than 9" centers. The covering for lines greater
than 6" diameter is to be held in place with 1/2" stainless steel bands on not more than 12" centers.
Page 18 of 45
REV. A
No screws are allowed in cold insulation. All joints in the covering should be lapped 2" minimum

caulking (Benjamin-Foster 95-44 or equal).
Insulation, barriers, metal, and mastic for 6" and larger handholes and Manways will be shipped
loose for field installation. The insulation and metal shall be pre-cut, assembled, and packed in a
tagged box for shipment.
For services above -50°F use standard T-type steel supports. Where the steel support penetrates
the protective covering shall be sealed with silicone caulking.
Minimum density of Polyurethane shall be 60kg/m3.
Equipment Saddles on horizontal vessels are to be insulated with 1" thick Armaflex (or equal) for a
distance below the insulation that is equal to four (4) times the thickness of the vessel insulation.
8.15 Protection of Materials and Work
Insulation materials subject to damage from dampness and harmful temperature extremes shall be
protected from time of delivery until weather protection is applied. Additionally, the following
conditions shall be observed:
a) Temporary warehouse facilities will be considered adequate protection during working

hours provided the materials are off the ground and are not subjected to damage due
to insufficient drainage and condensation.
b) Decking and covering tarps shall not be allowed except in extreme emergencies and
then only for short periods.
c) Adhesives, sealers and other materials furnished in a liquid state shall be stored
indoors and within temperature ranges required by the material manufacturer.
Insulation removed from storage shall be applied the same day and no unprotected insulation shall
remain on the job site overnight.
Every precaution shall be taken to see that each day's work has permanent weather protection
applied before the conclusion of work. Where this is impractical, temporary weather protection shall
be provided. Adequacy of such protection shall be the responsibility of the Contractor. The
Contractor shall submit proposed protection methods for Purchaser's review.
Insulation which becomes wet due to lack of or inadequate weather protection, either temporary or
permanent, shall be removed and replaced with dry insulation. Wet insulation shall be discarded
and not reused.

NOTES TO TABLE 8-1:

1. Size is the nominal pipe size or vessel outside diameter.
2. Materials are as follows:
Band "A": 13 mm by 0.50 mm fully annealed 18% Cr 8% Ni steel band.

Band "B": 19 mm by 0.50 mm fully annealed 18% Cr 8% Ni steel band.
Wire: 1.3 mm diameter fully annealed 18% Cr 8% Ni steel wire.
3. Attachment of high temperature insulation over irregular surfaces may be with wire if the use of
bands is impractical.
4. Adhesive bond outer circumference of disc to corresponding inner surface of pipe insulation.
Tape, wire or band (as required) pipe sections/segments to hold disc in place.

5. Band or wire spacing specified as "300 mm maximum all layers" or "450 mm maximum all
layers" applies to 900 mm long insulation segments. Shorter lengths, such as 600 mm long V
grooved mineral wool slab requires two (2) bands or wires per section on all layers.
6. Unless noted otherwise, equipment insulated with fibrous type insulation does not require
insulation springs for bands securing insulation to the shell of equipment. For equipment
insulated with rigid block insulation, 100 mm long, flat springs are required for each band in
accordance with the following schedule:

NOTES TO TABLE 8-3:

1. Band material shall be as follows:
Band "A" - 13 mm x 0.5 mm annealed austenitic stainless steel

Band "B" - 19 mm x 0.5 mm annealed austenitic stainless steel
Belt loops shall be fabricated from the same material as the bands and shall be riveted to high
points of corrugations on 450 mm maximum centers.
2. Laps shall be oriented to shed water.
3. All circumferential laps shall be banded.
4. Vertical sheathing support shall be provided on all vertical vessels and vertical piping having
insulation outside diameters of 450 mm or more with the application of 13 mm by 0.5 mm
austenitic stainless steel "S-clips" installed on 450 mm maximum centers (minimum 2 clips per
sheet regardless of diameter).
5. Longitudinal laps in jacketing on vertical vessels shall be screw fastened on 150 mm centers.
Circumferential laps on all vessels shall not be screw fastened except at the head gore/shell
finish lap which requires circumferentially placed screws on staggered 150 mm nominal centers
and at the bottom of the shell jacketing which requires circumferentially placed screws on 150
mm nominal centers.
6. Convex equipment heads that have been insulated with a flat disc shall have the lapping
surfaces of the blind cover coated with silicone sealant prior to installation of the cover. Covers
on horizontal equipment shall have the lapped seam oriented to shed water.
7. Outside diameter refers to nominal pipe or equipment diameter.
8. Unless noted otherwise for individual equipment items, approximately 100 mm long jacket
banding springs (either double expansion spring units or compression spring assemblies) are
required for each band in accordance with the following schedule, regardless of insulation
material used on equipment shells:
9. Screws are not allowed for Insulation Type H3, N1 through N4, and NA through ND. Band shall
be used with a minimum of one band per gored segment.
