All insulating materials must be stored in dry conditions under cover. During installation, ‘weatherproof sheeting must be used during inclement weather and after each day’s application, Installation must be performed generally to standards normally accepted as first class Workmanship. The finished cladding must be of good appearance andl fag from dents and sharp Nameplates, code inspection plates and stampings on equipment must be left permanently visible and the cladding must be properly sealed around them, JE the ‘above requirement is impracticable, a second plate supplied by British Gas and ae ntamenty marked with the same information and with the work ‘DUPLIC\TE: must be fixed on the outside of the cladding in the most convenient, adjacent position, Acoustic cladding General The relevant British Gas standards are: BGCPCPWC1 - Acoustic cladding. Partl - Cladding of gas pipe and equipment Part2 = Notes for guidance. Cladding is defined as ‘an assembly comprising porous insulation material with a metal outer Jacket’. The purpose of the cladding in this application is to cut down noise, typically by 10 — 20 dB. Painting Inspection Grade 3/2 3 Appendix BMaterials The insulation is usually in the form if Semicrigid sections. For small bore pipework, 25 mm diameter and below, flexible wool or fibrous materials may be used, ihe insulation is typically 50 ~ 100 mm thick and must comprise of non-toxic materials including materials which release non-toxic fumes during a fire. Galvanized materials, or any materials which contain zinc, must not be used on stainless stee! due to the danger of causing zinc embrittlement, 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, serews and washers nnust be either stainless steel or zine metal coated mild steel Application of materials The basic sequence for the application of acoustic cladding: Preparation. Insulation plus fixing, Repeat insulation and fixing if required. ‘Metal cladding plus fixing. Ree For pipework up to approximately 300 mm, preformed section of insulation must be cut and profiled to ft, and secured at 450 mm intervals with banding stip. For grester diameters, exible flat forms of insulation, e.g. mattresses, must be eed Unt Jacket should not be allowed to come into direet 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, Painting Inspection Grade 3/2 4 Appendix BThe 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 electrical bridge over isolation joints, Thermal insulation General The relevant British Gas standard is: BOCPSPWC2 —- Thermal insulation of above ground ‘pipework and equipment, The 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 i000°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. ) Modified slay wool, e) Expanded perlite. p iculite (loose granular fll) 2) Calcium silicate 1) Phenolic foam (not within buildings — toxic during combustion). }) Polyisocyanurate (not within buildings ~toxie during combustion). Growth of fungi. They must not cause a known hazard to health fon particles or toxic fumes, during application, whilst in use or on removal. Painting Inspection Grade 3/2 5 Appendix BProtective coverings Protective coverings include: Vapour seals ~ vapour sealing compound, preferably owelling grade, which has an interposed Sorin eloth made of woven glass cloth. Vapour sealing tape may also be used. Vapour seals are used for cryogenic applications, ‘Metal cladding ~ galvanized mild stee! must be used, unless stainless steel is being insulated, in Which case aluminium alloy sheet is used. Fixing materials To hold down insulating 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. >) Binding wire, c) Binding tape, @ Fixing bands. ©) — Selftapping screws. 4) Nuts, bolts and other fastenings. 2) Adhesives, 1) Anti-abrasion compound. i Joint sealant Application of materials The basic sequence for application for general heat conservation and protection: Preparation.
