2.2

LOW TEMPERATURE PIPING AMBIENT to 599°F (315°C)

The pipe insulation shall be premolded and core formed.

A thermal calculation should be performed to determine the proper insulation thickness to ensure either personnel protection or process control.

2.2.1

COMPOSITION:

Basalt wool and organic binder which is non-combustible and asbestos free.

2.2.2

DENSITY:

The density to be between 6.8 and 8.6 pcf.

2.1.3

MAXIMUM THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY:

The thermal conductivity shall not exceed the following as per ASTM C547:

2.2.4

MAXIMUM NON-FIBROUS (SHOT) CONTENT:

The percentage of non-fibrous material (shot) shall not exceed 20% by weight.

2.2.5

WATER VAPOR SORPTION:

The water vapor sorption shall be less than 1% by weight.

2.2.6

STRESS CORROSION:

The material must not promote or contribute to the corrosion of austenitic stainless steel.

2.2.7

SURFACE BURNING CHARACTERISTICS:

Shall not exceed
Flame Spread 5 Smoke Developed 0

APPROVED MANUFACTURE (S): FIBREX INSULATIONS, INC.
Single or multiple layer - COREPLUS 1200 PIPE INSULATION

2.3

BELOW AMBIENT

The pipe insulation shall be premolded and core formed.

A thermal calculation should be performed to determine the proper insulation thickness to ensure either personnel protection or process control. Where the insulation thickness exceeds 3", a multiple layer system is recommended.

All below ambient applications require a proper vapor barrier.

2.3.1

COMPOSITION:

Basalt wool and organic binder which is non-combustible and asbestos free.

2.3.2

DENSITY:

The density to be between 6.8 and 8.6 pcf.
