This technique is also employed when proper installationpractice requires multiple layers and or staggered joint application, even if a single layer thickness is available.4. Summary of Guide4.1 Proper insulati

18、on thickness shall be installed as specified and not compromised. The integrity of the insulation system shallbe maintained throughout the application. Never pull or stretch insulation, always push or over-size insulation.4.2 All seams, butt joints, cutouts and termination points shall be sealed wit

19、h a manufacturers approved adhesive to preventair/moisture intrusion. For below ambient applications, install vapor stops at all insulation terminations or interruptions, such asat supports, valves and flanges by This can be accomplished by several methods; by adhering the insulation directly to the

20、 pipeusing a 2 in. (50 mm) strip of contact adhesive or sealant to maintain closure. Insulationclosure, insulation tape can also be usedfor this purpose by wrapping it around the pipe. A vapor barrier mastic or tape can also be used for this purpose. On straight runs,install vapor stops every 18 ft

21、(5.4 m) to minimize moisture problems if they occur.4.3 Specific product Manufacturers recommended installation practices shall be used in all cases.4.4 Product should be applied to clean, dry surfaces. If the system is operating, additional steps may be needed to insure aproper installation.4.5 Aco

22、ating, jacket, cladding or appropriate protection shall be used where mechanical abuse or damage is expected. Outdoorapplications may require special consideration refer to the manufacturers recommendations.4.6 For satisfactory performance, properly installed protective vapor retarders/barriers and

23、vapor stops must be used on highrelative humidity and below ambient temperature applications to reduce movement of moisture through or around the insulationto the colder interior surface.5. Significance and Use5.1 This guide applies to flexible closed cell insulation tubing and sheet materials manuf

24、actured according to Specification C534and Specification C1427. This standard is intended to provide a basic guide for installing these types of materials.5.2 Confirm application use temperature is consistent with specified use temperature for material as defined in ASTMSpecifications unless otherwi

25、se agreed upon with the manufacturer. There are different grades for each of the insulation typesreferred to in this guide, material and grade installed should be that specified.5.3 This guide is not intended to cover all aspects associated with installation for all applications, consult the Nationa

26、l,Commercial Industrial Insulation Standards (MICA Manual) or the specific product manufacturer for recommendations, or both.(See ASHRAE Handbook (Fundamentals Chapter 26) and ASHRAE Handbook (Refrigeration Chapter 33)6. Workmanship, Finish and Appearance6.1 The insulation shall have no visible defe

27、cts that will adversely affect its performance or appearance. Materials shall be keptclean and dry until used. Use good quality tools at all times. Ensure cleanliness of insulation products, pipe work, vessels, fittingsand tools.Avoid dust, dirt, oil or water on surfaces and equipment. It is recomme

28、nded to apply insulation to a system which is notin operation. If insulation must be applied to a system that is operating, special precautions must be taken to prevent condensationfrom being trapped in the insulation envelope. Never stretch insulation to fit. Specified dimensions for the inner diam

29、eter (ID) andwall thickness shall be adhered to.7. Dimensional Tolerances7.1 Dimensions for the ID, wall and length shall conform to tolerances published by the manufacturer and or applicableASTMstandards, for example Specifications C534, C1427 and Practice C585. can be used to determine the outer d

30、iameter of theinsulation for sizing jacketing and fitting dimensions.8. General Installation Recommendations8.1 All seams, butt joints, cut outs and termination points should be sealed with a manufacturers approved system. Externaltaping of seams is not recommended as an exclusive method of sealing

31、joints or seams for below ambient systems. Approvedadhesives can be: contact adhesives, spray adhesives or pressure sensitive adhesives. Water based adhesives are not recommendedbecause of their slow drying time which causes them to pull apart. Adhesives should be applied according to manufacturersr

32、ecommendations. A thinner layer of adhesive is best, with 100% coverage on both surfaces. Always keep adhesives stirredthoroughly.Allow solvents to dissipate before combining two surfaces. This will be determined by time, temperature and adhesivetype. Ensure all seams are aligned, tight, and are com

33、pletely sealed.C1710 1528.2 The specified insulation thickness should be maintained throughout the installation. When using unslit tubular insulation onpipe work being installed, the insulation should be slid/pushed on the pipe, never pulled as this will stretch and thin the insulation.The insulatio

34、n is not to be stretched to fit. All insulation should be installed under slight compression to ensure a snug fit.Accommodations need to be made to prevent the insulation from being compressed by weight; that is, pipe hangers. Forapplications where the pipe work is already installed, the insulation

35、must be slit and adhesive applied or pre-slit/pre-gluedinsulation used.8.3 Install insulation on systems that are dry, at room temperature and already pressure tested.8.4 Use miter boxes or templates for making accurate cuts. See Fig. 1. Keep to correct dimensions. Do not cut the insulationshort and

36、 stretch it to fit the space.8.5 Slide insulation on straight piping runs whenever possible to reduce seams. If insulation must be slit to apply to piping, slitin a straight line. On large ID insulation where the material may be oval shaped, slit along the flat side (top or bottom) not alongthe edge

37、 for a better fitting seam. Refer to 8.2.9. Hazards9.1 Use good quality tools and keep working area and materials clean. Keep cutting tools sharp. Recommend non-serrated edgedsteel knife which can be sharpened.9.2 Use appropriate protective equipment, that is. Safety glasses and safe practices when

38、installing the material.9.3 Provide suitable ventilation when working with solvent based adhesives.10. Recommendations for Specific Installation Situations10.1 Straight Pipe Section unjoinedSlide insulation along the pipe work for straight runs. Seal all butt joints, cut outs andtermination points.

39、See Fig. 2.10.1.1 Slit tube in a straight line (Fig. 3). Apply a thin brush coat of contact adhesive to each seam. Slip the insulation over thepipe.Allow adhesive to properly set and press seams together at each end working toward the center. Seal all butt joints, cut outsand termination points with

40、 adhesive.10.1.2 Use pre-slit/pre-glued insulation. (Insulation pre-slit with factory applied pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA). See Fig. 4.Be sure application temperature and manufacturers installation temperature recommendations are in accordance.adhered to.10.2 90 elbows: Fittings: There are many

41、 types of fittings; pipe fittings, screwed fittings etc. See Fig. 5.NOTE 1As an alternative to field fabricated fittings, factory manufactured fittings are available for many configurations.10.2.1 Fabricate 90 elbows from straight tubing. Cut the insulation at 45 angle. Reverse the pieces by 180 to

42、each other. SeeFig. 56. Apply contact adhesive to both faces and press firmly together when properly set. Slit open the formed bend by cuttingthrough the throat or heel of fitting.Apply brush coat of contact adhesive to both longitudinal seams of the fabricated fitting. Placeover bend and press seam

43、s firmly together. See Fig. 67. Fabricate 45s in a similar manner.FIG. 1 USE Miter Box For Making CutsC1710 15310.2.2 Optional (but not optimal) MethodSlide insulation around 90. The product should be pushed, not pulled around the 90.Although sliding the insulation around a 90 is a technique that is

44、 used in the field, it is not recommended as the insulation thicknesswill be compromised (thinned) and condensation may occur on the outside edge as a result.10.2.3 TeeFabricate tee by cutting a V notch (45; cut ) from straight section. Cut end of adjoining piece at 45 angle to fitinto notch of sect
