GENERAL REQUIREMENT

Piping shall be insulated for the purposes of conserving heat, maintenance of process temperature,
condensate prevention and personnel protection.
Contractor has to provide shop drawings detailing all typical and specialized methods for fabricating
and installing all insulation, jackets and weatherproofing for all items requiring insulation.

MATERIAL

4.1 General

All materials are to be new.

Alternative materials and application methods may be used only with prior written approval
of the BMR.

4.2 Handling and Storage of Material

The handling of all material shall be undertaken safely and in such a manner as to ensure that
no damage is incurred.

4.3 Manufacture Handling Data

Contractor shall be keep all completeness document of manufacturer, and all materials must
be protected from damage that could occur.

4.4 Material Insulation

The material used for thermal insulation is generally such lose mineral wool, calcium silicate,
perlite, etc. Calcium Silicate is preferred for easily during installation. However, other material
application may be used corresponding approval by BMR.

4.5 Fastening Material

a. Wire
Fastening insulation wire shall be 16 gauge, 1.6mm diameter galvanized steel for fastening
insulation.
b. Band

e. Pop Rivets and Screw
If used, pop rivets shall be aluminium or galvanized steel with both shaft and rivet heads
made of same material. Minimum size is 4 mm diameter by 8 mm long. Screws shall be
stainless steel pan head or hex head slotted self-tapping sheet meta screws not less than
10 gauge by 19 mm.

APLICATION REQUIREMENTS

5.1 General

Any piping which is normally cold shall be painted accordance with Doc No. BMR-QAC-PRC-
ST-0002 Painting Procedures.
The insulating materials shall be protected against rain and water, during and after application.
All surfaces to be insulated shall be cleaned of all dirt, oil, grease and other foreign matters.

5.2 Insulation Thickness

Insulation shall be applied with thickness 50mm on each along of pipe.

5.3 Installation in Straight Pipe

Insulation shall be applied to clean, dry, bare or painted.

For multiple layers installation, inner insulation shall be secured with wire. Following for
provision :
 Pipe size up to 12” : Wire
 Pipe size 12” over : Band

5.4 Installation in Elbow

Insulation shall be installed to fit the curvature of elbow/ bends.

Following shall be applied :
a. For the pipe size up to 2”, insulation shall be cut with 45° angles and installed so call “Right
angle installation”.
b. For the pipe size over 2”, insulation shall be multiple mitered cut and secured with wire.

5.5 Installation Adjacent to Flange

Insulation adjacent to flanges shall be installed in a manner to permit removal of flange bolting
without damage to the insulation. The insulation shall be stopped short of the flanges by a
distance equal to the stud or bolt length plus 25mm on each side of the flange.
