Standards Development
This British Standard gives recommendations for the installation of thermal insulation systems on pipework, ductwork and associated equipment in the temperature range −40 °C to +700 °C.
It is intended for use by designers/specifiers, contractors and manufacturers of thermal insulation.
The prime focus of each section within this British Standard is:
• design (Section 2), for manufacturers, contractors, and designers/specifiers;
• site considerations (Section 3), for all users;
• application (Section 4), for all contractors installing or interfacing with thermal insulation systems and including pre-insulated and off-site installations; and
• post-installation inspection (Section 5), for operators.
It does not cover, but might interface with, acoustic insulation, structural insulation of buildings and cold stores, fire protection of structures and services, refractory linings of plant, aircraft and all external buried/underground services.
NOTE Annex A provides further guidance on adhesives. Annex B provides guidance on water vapour pressure and the relation to water vapour barriers. Annex C provides guidance on the water vapour diffusion resistance ratio.
Required form fields are indicated by an asterisk (*) character.
