Committee:: B/540/7 - Thermal insulation for equipment and industrial applications
Categories:: Standardization. General rules | Engineering | Fluid storage devices | Pipelines. General | Energy and heat transfer engineering | Heat recovery. Thermal insulation | Thermal and sound insulating materials

Scope

This British Standard describes a method for specifying requirements for thermal insulating materials on pipes, tanks, vessels, ductwork and equipment for certain defined applications and conditions within the temperature range –40 °C to +700 °C. It also specifies some physical requirements for the insulating materials. It is intended for use by designers, specifiers, contractors and manufacturers of thermal insulation.

This revised British Standard will address the changes to the thickness at which pipework insulation is applied and to the Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA) scheme for pipework insulation.

This British Standard does not apply to pipelines that are embedded underground, nor does it refer to the insulation of building construction.

Purpose

This standard intends to specify the performance requirements of materials and insulation including its thickness to be selected according to the intended function of the insulation of materials and insulation thickness. It is intended to ensure that he insulation material specified is suitable for its intended application.
