3.0 HD PUF Cradle construction 6.0 PACKING

The Standard Binder HD PUF pipe support is a
single layer monolithically moulded high density
polyurethane cradle in two 180º sections without
longitudinal or circumferential seams. Where the line
insulation thickness exceeds 60mm a step is provided
at each end to prevent a direct vapour path to the
insulated surface. (Shiplap Joint)
All Binder HD PUF support cradles are moulded
under rigidly controlled temperature and humidity
conditions and over packing is used to ensure
complete filling of the mould and to produce sharp
square corners for “no gap” joining to the line
insulation.
Binder HD PUF supports may be either clamped to
the pipe or bonded with an appropriate cryogenic
adhesive. The higher density integral inner and
outer moulded skins provide an excellent bonding
surface.
Binder supports are sized to match the outside
diameter of the mating line insultion. Standard
Binder HD PUF supports are sized in accordance
with ASTM C-585.
Binder HD PUF supports are shipped with a factory
installed weather/vapour barrier mastic layer to all
exposed surface of the PUF. The weather/vapour
barrier mastic is fire retarded and has a vapour
permeance of not more than 0.02 perms.
4.0 BEARING PLATE ASSEMBLES
4.1 Full 360º Bearing plate assemblies are manufactured
with formed ears or welded lugs to accept bolts and nuts.
4.2 Half-pipe sections (180º) assemblies have welded
banding clips to accept line insulaton band strapping.
5.0 MARKING
Major components will be clearly marked with pipe
support or mark number.
All HD PUF supports will be individually wrapped and
sealed in moisture proof plastic packages. They will be
suitably crated or otherwise to avoid mechanical
damage to PUF and steel components.
7.0 RECOMMENDED FIELD INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS (Supports bonded to pipe)
7.1 Trial fit the shoe and trim where required to
overcome any excessive ovality in the pipe.
Shoe must be kept moisture free at all times.
7.2 Clean and prepare pipe in accordance with the
adhesive manufacturer’s recommendations. This
may include removal of paint, loose scale and
other foreign material. Pipe must be cleaned
and thoroughly dried prior to the application
of the shoe.
7.3 Installation of the shoe is to be performed in a dry
enviroment and all necessary steps must be taken to
ensure that the pipe/shoe interface remains dry.
7.4 The pressure sensitive tape is removed from the
bore of the suppprt and the adhesive applied and
trowelled to ensure coverage as per the
manufacturer’s recommendations. Fit the shoe
to the pipe and hold in place with cable clamps
or similar until the adhesive is set. Excessive
adhesive should be trimmed when the adhesive
is partially cured. A vapour seal is then applied
to the exposed edges of the adhesive before
it has fully cured.
7.5 Care is to be taken throughout the installation and
curing acitivities to avoid damage to the insulation
or the protective seals. The support assembly
is to be kept dry thoughout the whole of the
fitting operation.
