23、trial Insulation Standards (MICAManual) orthe specific product manufacturer for recommendations, orboth. (See ASHRAE Handbook (Fundamentals Chapter 26)and ASHRAE Handbook (Refrigeration Chapter 33)6. Workmanship, Finish and Appearance6.1 The insulation shall have no visible defects that willadversel

24、y affect its performance or appearance. Materials shallbe kept clean and dry until used. Use good quality tools at alltimes. Ensure cleanliness of insulation products, pipe work,vessels, fittings and tools. Avoid dust, dirt, oil or water onsurfaces and equipment. It is recommended to apply insulatio

25、nto a system which is not in operation. If insulation must beapplied to a system that is operating, special precautions mustbe taken to prevent condensation from being trapped in theinsulation envelope. Never stretch insulation to fit. Specifieddimensions for the inner diameter (ID) and wall thickne

26、ss shallbe adhered to.7. Dimensional Tolerances7.1 Dimensions for the ID, wall and length shall conform totolerances published by the manufacturer and or applicableASTM standards, for example Specifications C534, C1427 andPractice C585.8. General Installation Recommendations8.1 All seams, butt joint

27、s, cut outs and termination pointsshould be sealed with a manufacturers approved system.External taping of seams is not recommended as an exclusivemethod of sealing joints or seams for below ambient systems.Approved adhesives can be: contact adhesives, spray adhesivesor pressure sensitive adhesives.

28、 Water based adhesives are notrecommended because of their slow drying time which causesthem to pull apart. Adhesives should be applied according tomanufacturers recommendations. A thinner layer of adhesiveis best, with 100% coverage on both surfaces. Always keepadhesives stirred thoroughly.Allow so

29、lvents to dissipate beforecombining two surfaces. This will be determined by time,temperature and adhesive type. Ensure all seams are aligned,tight, and are completely sealed.8.2 The specified insulation thickness should be maintainedthroughout the installation. When using unslit tubular insula-tion

30、 on pipe work being installed, the insulation should beslid/pushed on the pipe, never pulled as this will stretch andthin the insulation. The insulation is not to be stretched to fit.All insulation should be installed under slight compression toensure a snug fit. Accommodations need to be made to pr

31、eventthe insulation from being compressed by weight; that is, pipehangers. For applications where the pipe work is alreadyinstalled, the insulation must be slit and adhesive applied orpre-slit/pre-glued insulation used.8.3 Install insulation on systems that are dry, at roomtemperature and already pr

32、essure tested.8.4 Use miter boxes or templates for making accurate cuts.See Fig. 1. Keep to correct dimensions. Do not cut theinsulation short and stretch it to fit the space.8.5 Slide insulation on straight piping runs whenever pos-sible to reduce seams. If insulation must be slit to apply topiping

33、, slit in a straight line. On large ID insulation where thematerial may be oval shaped, slit along the flat side (top orbottom) not along the edge for a better fitting seam. Refer to8.2.9. Hazards9.1 Use good quality tools and keep working area andmaterials clean. Keep cutting tools sharp. Recommend

34、 non-serrated edged steel knife which can be sharpened.9.2 Use appropriate protective equipment, that is. Safetyglasses and safe practices when installing the material.9.3 Provide suitable ventilation when working with solventbased adhesives.10. Recommendations for Specific Installation Situations10

35、.1 Straight Pipe Section unjoinedSlide insulationalong the pipe work for straight runs. Seal all butt joints, cutouts and termination points. See Fig. 2.10.1.1 Slit tube in a straight line (Fig. 3). Apply a thin brushcoat of contact adhesive to each seam. Slip the insulation overC1710 092the pipe. A

36、llow adhesive to properly set and press seamstogether at each end working toward the center. Seal all buttjoints, cut outs and termination points with adhesive.10.1.2 Use pre-slit/pre-glued insulation. (Insulation pre-slitwith factory applied pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA). SeeFig. 4. Be sure app

37、lication temperature and manufacturersinstallation temperature recommendations are in accordance.10.2 90 elbows:10.2.1 Fabricate 90 elbows from straight tubing. Cut theinsulation at 45 angle. Reverse the pieces by 180 to eachother. See Fig. 5. Apply contact adhesive to both faces andpress firmly tog

38、ether when properly set. Slit open the formedbend by cutting through the throat or heel of fitting. Applybrush coat of contact adhesive to both longitudinal seams of thefabricated fitting. Place over bend and press seams firmlytogether. See Fig. 6.10.2.2 Optional (but not optimal) MethodSlide insula

39、tionaround 90. The product should be pushed, not pulled aroundthe 90. Although sliding the insulation around a 90 is atechnique that is used in the field, it is not recommended as theinsulation thickness will be compromised (thinned) and con-densation may occur on the outside edge as a result.10.3 T

40、ee and ValveFabricate tee by cutting a V notch(45; cut ) from straight section. Cut end of adjoining piece at45 angle to fit into notch of section above. Apply contactadhesive to all cut faces, when properly dried, press fitinsulation sections firmly together. Slit open the completedfitting section,

41、 apply contact adhesive to all exposed insulationwall faces, place cover over tee when adhesive is properly setand apply pressure to bond the fitting insulation. See Fig. 7.10.4 FittingsThere are several types of fittings: pipefittings, screwed tee piece fittings (see Fig. 8)FIG. 1 USE Miter Box For

42、 Making CutsFIG. 2 Apply Adhesive to all Butt Joints Installed/Existing Pipe WorkC1710 09310.4.1 ValvesIn all cases, insulate as close to the fitting orvalve as possible with straight tubing. Then insulate over oraround the fitting or valve by sleeving appropriately sizedinsulation or flat sheet ove

43、r the straight sections to create thecorrect build up of insulation. Seal all cutouts by adhering theinsulation ( with contact adhesive) to the pipe or body beinginsulated to prevent air (with moisture) or condensation intru-sion into the system. See Figures Fig. 8 and Fig. 9.10.5 Large Diameter Pip

44、eLarge diameter pipe can beinsulated with flat sheet. Refer to Fig. 10. Determine circum-ference of pipe ( circumference = ) x diameter + 1in.(25mm).Cut sheet to fit the circumference of pipe. Applybrush coat of contact adhesive to all insulation edges to bejoined and sealed. Place insulation around

45、 pipe and firmlypress seams together starting from the ends and workingtoward the center. Apply adhesive to butt ends and pressadjoining straight insulation sections to fitting cover. On largepipe 12 in. (30 cm) or greater apply adhesive to the bottom13of pipe to adhere insulation to pipe to prevent

46、 any sagging ofinsulation. Sheet can also be used to fabricate large diameterelbows and other fittings.10.6 Brazed FittingsWhen brazing pipe joints or fittings,ease insulation back along the pipe by 12in. ( 30 cm) on eachside of joint and restrain with clamps. When the brazed jointhas fully cooled,

47、apply a brush coat of adhesive to butt ends,when properly set press joints together. See Fig. 11.10.7 Pipe Hangers and Other Pressure PointsPipe Hang-ers or pressure points create a situation where the insulationcan be compressed. Various techniques can be used to alleviatethe insulation from being

48、compressed; Wooden dowels can beused to form a tripod (load bearing)to lift the pipe off theinsulation. See Fig. 12. Hanger insulation supports also knownas Saddles can be used to spread the weight of the pipe over alarge area and to compensate for movement in the pipingsystem but does not totally a

49、lleviate the issue of compressingthe insulation (reducing the wall thickness) which may result inthe formation of condensation.10.8 Tanks and VesselsSheet or roll insulation can be usedto insulate tanks and vessels. See Fig. 13. Draw up a workschedule of the sizes needed to complete the job. Calculate themost efficient lay out available from standard sheets or rolls ofinsulation. Always cut material oversize, allowing14 in. (6.0mm) extra to both length and width dimensions for press/compression fit. Contact adhesive or factory appli
