3. DESIGN - GENERAL
3.1 In this Project Standard, insulation for reducing heat gain is designed to provide thicknesses that

3.2 Contractor shall install personnel protection for unlined equipment and piping with exposed surface
temperatures of minus 10°C and below.
3.3 Contractor shall identify equipment and piping requiring acoustic attenuation insulation in
accordance with Project Standard 8474L-000-JSD-6000-001.
3.4 Contractor shall identify Items requiring low level vapour relief load and systems required to
operate during a fire, for fire protection insulation.
3.5 Equipment, vessels and piping shall be insulated with the thickness of insulation appropriate to the
insulation classification and operating temperature.
3.6 The insulation codes are the following:

- CC Prevention of heat gain insulation – cold proc. Services,
- BIC Acoustic insulation for cold insulated surfaces,
- FPC Fire hazard protection insulation for cold insulated surfaces,
- BFC Fire hazard protection insula tion for cold insulated surfaces and Acoustic insulation.
- PG Personnel protection using metal guards,
- NI Not insulated.
3.7 Contractor shall ensure that the design of the insulation system, including the selection of
adhesives, weather coatings, vapour seals and joint sealers takes into account that piping and
equipment may be subject to elevated temperatures during purging, cleaning and flushing
operations.
3.8 Each line shall be insulated as a single unit. A minimum clearance of 50mm shall be maintained
between the outer surface of insulation and any obstruction such as structural steel, electrical
conduit, piping or other insulated lines.
3.9 Instruments and associated piping subject to operating flow and/or temperature conditions
approximating those in the piping or equipment to which they are connected, shall be insulated to
the same requirements as that piping or equipment in accordance with Table 1.
3.10 Contractor shall identify all equipment and piping where differential thermal movements exceed
15mm. For all such equipment and piping, insulation contraction joints shall be provided and shall
be positioned under insulation layer support rings, clips and lugs when they are used. Contraction
joints shall be constructed as stated in Section 17.
3.11 Insulation for vessels and similar equipment shall be adequately supported by clips and supports
lugs, welded around the equipment item. Contractor shall submit details of support lugs for
PetroVietnam review and approval.
8474L-000-JSD-2220-001- 2.doc
8474L 000 JSD 2220 001 2 7 / 51

3.12 On vertical pipe lines or lines inclined more than 45° from horizontal where straight runs are in
excess of 3m length, a bolted insulation support shall be installed at the bottom and every 3m
thereafter.
3.13 The width of support rings shall be such that the inner layer(s) and one-half of the outer layer of the
insulation shall be supported.
3.14 Pipe supports and hangers shall be attached to the outside of the insulation and shall not be in
contact with the pipe.
3.15 For fire hazard protection stainless steel sheeting of 0.5mm thk shall be used for piping up to
200mm (8 ins) NPS and 0.8mm thk for piping 200mm (8 ins) NPS and greater, including
equipment.

4. DESIGN - PIPING INSULATION
4.1 Piping systems requiring insulation shall be fully insulated, including all piping fittings and
components together with supports, piping and tubing of insulated instruments, drains, valves and
flanged joints. Valves shall be insulated up to the packing gland.
4.2 Insulation shall not be applied to piping and piping components which become cold intermittently
(i.e. blowdown or pumpout systems, drain or filling systems etc) unless required for acoustic
attenuation, personnel protection or as otherwise specified by PetroVietnam. If this piping is
connected to an insulated cold source, it shall be treated as a projection and insulated in accordance
with paragraph 4.3.
4.3 All metal protrusions through the insulation shall be insulated in accordance with Table 3.
Protruding metal parts include, but are not limited to, pipe trunnion supports, pipe support clips,
pipe hangers and uninsulated piping connections such as vents, sample connections and uninsulated
instrumentation.
5. DESIGN - EQUIPMENT
5.1 Equipment items requiring insulation shall be fully insulated including all nozzles, manways,
bolted flanges, stiffener rings, exchanger channels and bonnet flanges.
5.2 Insulation shall not be applied to pumps, fans, compressors, blowers or other rotating or
reciprocating equipment unless required for acoustic attenuation, personnel protection or as
otherwise specified by PetroVietnam.
5.3 Vessels and their skirts or saddles shall be thermally isolated from their holding down bolts.
Hardwood blocks or other suitable material shall be used for this purpose.
5.4 Where equipment is supported on metal saddles, the insulation shall be carried down the saddle to
the junction of the saddle and the thermal isolation material. The vapour barrier shall continue
down over the isolation material.
5.5 Where equipment is supported through the use of attached support lugs resting on unattached
structural steel members, the insulation shall be extended not less than four times, the insulation
thickness in each direction, measured from junction of equipment with insulated support lug.
Thickness of insulation over structural steel members shall be one-half that specified for body of
equipment. Thickness of insulation over support lugs shall be the same as the body insulation.
8474L-000-JSD-2220-001- 2.doc
8474L 000 JSD 2220 001 2 9 / 51

5.6 Equipment support legs shall be insulated with insulation blocks as part of equipment area.
Insulation is to extend down legs a distance of four times, insulation thickness, measured from
leg/equipment junction. Thickness shall be as specified for body of equipment. The body
insulation shall be brought up to and butted firmly against the leg flange. Spaces between flange
and webs of structural members shall be filled with block cemented in place with specified
insulation adhesive.
5.7 Skirts supporting vertical equipment shall be insulated inside and outside. Insulation shall extend
downward from junction of skirt with bottom head for a distance of not less than four times the
thickness of insulation, but in no case less than 300mm. Thickness shall be specified for body of
equipment. Insulation shall be secured to inside of skirt with specified insulation adhesive.
Insulation inside skirt shall be supported on angle or plate support.
5.8 All metal such as insulation support rings or stiffeners except vacuum stiffening rings, which are an
integral part of the vessel, shall be insulated with two thirds the total of multi-layer insulation
thickness with thicknesses rounded up to the nearest 10mm. Full thickness insulation is required
for single layer application.
5.9 For metal projections not provided with insulation for the entire length, vapour weather barrier
material shall be continued along the uninsulated metal for a minimum of 150mm to ensure a tight
joint. A low operating temperature valve bonnet extension through the insulation represents a
specialised case of metal projection. A mastic seal shall be provided between the bonnet and the
insulation around it, as well as providing a continuance of the vapour barrier along the metal.
5.10 The insulation shall be taken over any nameplate without a break. The position of the nameplate
shall be marked on the outer covering and where warning notices occur, these shall be copied on
the outside of the insulation finish. A duplicate nameplate shall be installed over the outside
surface of the insulation system. The method of attachment used shall not puncture the vapour seal.
Before insulation work is commenced, Contractor shall make a certified copy or rubbing of the
nameplate and submit to PetroVietnam.
5.11 The pre-insulation of vertical vessels in the horizontal position prior to erection is not permitted.
