Design
3.1
General
3.1.1 The design and thickness of the Tarecpir thermal

insulation for pipework, vessels and equipment
equipment operating at cryogenic, low or dual
service temperatures shall be to provide:
prevention of condensation on the external
surface of the insulation;
temperature control of processes in pipework and
equipment;
personnel protection; and
sound control.
3.1.2 As an alternative to the prevention of condensation
on the external surface of the insulation, the
insulation thickness can be increased on the basis of
improved heat gain limits, which will yield higher
levels of insulation.
The insulation thickness required for the prevention
of condensation on the external surface of the
insulation and improved heat gain limits or the
control of process temperatures, will normally
exceed the required thickness for plant safety and
personnel protection.
For determination of the thickness of insulation
required for the prevention of condensation on the
outer surface of the insulation refer to Appendices
C1 & C2.
For determination of the thickness of insulation
required for improved heat gain limits and control of
process temperatures calculated for typical design
and external ambient conditions refer to Appendices
C3 & C4.
Insulation thicknesses for ambient conditions not
indicated in the Appendices need to be calculated
by the Kingspan Tarec Industrial Insulation Technical
Service Department.
3.1.3 It is essential that moisture does not penetrate the

insulation system. Moisture in the form of water
vapour, liquid or ice reduces the thermal and
structural properties of all insulation materials and
will eventually lead to the corrosion of unprotected
underlying metal surfaces.
3.1.4 Cryogenic and low temperature insulation of thickness
50 mm / 2" or greater on pipework, equipment and
fittings shall be applied with staggered joints. The
number of joints shall be kept to a minimum. The
minimum thickness of any layer in a multi layered
system shall be no less than 25 mm / 1".
3.1.5 A primary vapour barrier shall be applied to the
external surface of the Tarecpir Process Insulation
System.
3.1.6 A factory applied secondary vapour barrier shall be
applied to the inner layer of a double layered system
and to the intermediate layer of a triple layered system
respectively. The secondary vapour barrier shall be a
factory applied Triplex Foil Vapour Barrier Jacket sealed
with self adhesive Triplex Foil Vapour Barrier Tape.
3.1.7 Vapour stops shall be provided at each termination
or interruption in the continuity of the insulation
and vapour barrier. Vapour stops shall be installed at
each side of all fittings, flanges, valves and supports
at the lowermost point of vertical pipework greater
than 4 m / 13' in length and other components. For
detailed drawings refer to Appendices D20 & D21 .
3.1.8 The design of contraction joints and their positions
shall be based upon the expected differential
contraction between pipework or equipment and
insulant as a result of extreme temperatures. For
dimensions refer to Appendix C7. For detailed
drawings refer to Appendices D12 & D13.
3.1.9 Steel / aluminium cladding, if used, shall be installed
and secured in such a manner so that the underlying
insulation and the primary vapour barrier as specified
in the CINI Specification is not damaged.
3.2 Extent of Insulation
3.1.10 On vertical pipework and vessels, insulation support
rings shall be provided at intervals not exceeding
4.5 m / 14.75'. Support rings shall be designed in

contact with the cold surface and shall not extend
beyond half the thickness of the outermost layer of
insulation.
3.1.11 The layout of pipework, vessels and equipment
shall be designed in such a manner so as to provide
sufficient space for the application of the full
specified thickness of insulation and finish.
A minimum clearance of 75 mm / 3" between the
external surface of the insulation and the adjacent
surfaces or obstructions shall be provided.
3.1.12 Parallel pipelines or equipment shall not be
enclosed together with one covering of insulation,
unless specially indicated for 'bundling'.
3.1.13 Painting of the surfaces to be insulated shall be
carried out in accordance with the painting
specification and schedule.
3.1.14 Contact between dissimilar metals having potential
for galvanic corrosion shall be avoided.
3.2.1 Pipework and equipment within the scope of this

specification shall be completely insulated and shall
include for all pipe fittings, drains, equipment
nozzles and supports to the thickness and extent
specified. Instruments shall be insulated when
specified.
3.2.2 All metal components such as legs and supports etc.
protruding through the insulation shall be insulated
to the same thickness as the insulation for the
pipework, vessels or equipment and fully vapour
sealed. The length of the insulation shall be at least
four times the insulation thickness, with a minimum
of 300 mm / 11.75" bare metal after the
termination of the insulation, in order to maintain a
proper temperature rise and to prevent
condensation inside the insulation.
3.2.3 Where it is not possible to insulate protrusions as
described in 3.2.2, a thermal break of high density
material shall be incorporated into the design.
3.2.4 Where vessels or equipment are supported on metal
saddles, the saddles shall be insulated from the
lowest point of the shell for a distance of four times
the specified insulation thickness. The vapour barrier
shall be carefully fitted to the insulation.
3.2.5 Vessel skirts shall be insulated on both the inside
and outside of the skirt for a distance from the
bottom tangent line of the vessel equal to four
times the specified insulation thickness, but not less
than 300 mm / 11.75". Vents on skirts shall be filled
with rigid polyurethane foam and vapour sealed
with a primary vapour barrier.
3.2.6 Gauges shall be provided with extended
connections to allow the application of insulation
against condensation or frost.

Triplex Foil Vapour Barrier Jacket, when used as a
secondary vapour barrier or as a component of a
primary vapour barrier, shall be sealed with
matching Triplex Foil Vapour Barrier Tape.
6.5.2 Installation of the mastic finishing layer as the primary
vapour barrier or as a component of the primary
vapour barrier should be carried out as follows:
The entire external surface of the insulation shall
be covered with mechanical bonding mastic in
accordance with Appendix B5 and shall be
applied to thoroughly dry insulation or to foil
surfaces which must be smooth, even and free
from voids, crevices or indentations.
The first coat shall be applied to the external
surface of the insulation. A layer of reinforced
no. 10 open weave glass cloth shall be applied in
a smooth wrinkle-free manner whilst the mastic
coating is still wet and shall be thoroughly
embedded within the mastic coating with an
overlap of 50 mm / 2" in accordance with
Appendix B6. A secondary layer of mechanical
bonding mastic of identical properties as the first
layer, shall be applied before the first coat dries.
The total dry film thickness shall be no less than
0.75.mm / 0.03". The finish shall ensure that the
reinforced fabric is completely hidden, showing
minimum profile.

Appendix B4 Polyurethane Adhesive
The Polyurethane Adhesive is a two part high strength
thermosetting urethane adhesive designed to bond various
types of low temperature insulation materials to
themselves and to metal and masonry substrates. After
curing, it forms a strong, yet flexible bond capable of
withstanding thermal shock and mechanical impact.
The Polyurethane Adhesive can be used as both an
attachment adhesive and joint sealant in low temperature
installations using cellular glass, polystyrene, or rigid board
stock polyurethane foam insulation. It can be top coated
with solvent base products without bleedthrough.
The Polyurethane Adhesive does not contain flammable
solvents, asphalt, asbestos, lead, mercury, or mercury
compounds.

Appendix B5 Mastic
The Mastic is a tough, flexible and fire resistant
elastomeric finish for the protection of outdoor thermal
insulation. It is an excellent vapour barrier for low
temperature insulation on pipework, ductwork, tanks,
vessels and fittings.
The Mastic provides outstanding weather barrier
protection, shows excellent colour retention, chemical
resistance, and durability.
Mastic trowels easily and smoothly without drag or
excessive stringing. It features higher than average volume
solid thus reducing the number of gallons that need to be
applied.

Appendix B6 Reinforcement Scrim
The Reinforcement Scrim has a synthetic fibre composition
that provides for significantly greater elongation, recovery
and freedom from stress breakage. The Reinforcement
Scrim has a leno weave that gives stability to the fabric,
eliminating the thread movement and distortion inherent
to plain weave cloths. It will not detectably affect the
flame spread and smoke developed ratings of the selected
mastic or coating.
The Reinforcement Scrim is easy to bond to and wets out
readily compared to glass cloth. This minimizes the
possibility of disbanding of tack and finish coats. Because it
weighs only 0.9 ounces per square yard, about half the
weight of glass cloth, the Reinforcement Scrim is easy to
work with. A full roll can easily be one handed for a
faster, trouble free installation.
The Reinforcement Scrim contains no asbestos, lead,
mercury, or mercury compounds.

Appendix B7 Joint Sealant

The Joint Sealant is a fire resistive, flexible butyl elastomer
based vapour barrier sealant. It is designed for sealing
joints in insulation (except polystyrene foam), metal and
masonry wherever the maintenance of a watertight and
airtight seal is required. It can be used as a joint sealant in
low velocity duct airconditioning systems and is ideal for
sealing the laps of aluminium jacketing to prevent the
ingress of moisture.
The Joint Sealant is a fast drying vapour barrier sealant that
can be top coated with most solventthinned, flexible,
light coloured coatings without danger of bleed through.
It is weather resistant and may be used outdoors without
top coating.
Joint Sealant is the preferred product for flashing
projections and terminations where a complete moisture
and vapour seal is required.

Appendix B8 Vapour Stop Sealant
Vapour Stop Sealant is a one part elastomer based product
used as a vapour barrier sealant in the joints of cellular
glass and urethane foam board stock insulation. It remains
soft and flexible, preventing damage to the insulation due
to thermal cycling through a wide range of temperatures.
Vapour Stop Sealant is primarily used with low
temperature insulation to prevent the migration of water
and water vapour into the insulation system via butt joints.
Vapour Stop Sealant is supplied in a special buttery
consistency, which facilitates application to insulation
surfaces without stringing or excessive drag. It may be
applied at temperatures as low as 10C/ 50F without
difficulty.
Vapour Stop Sealant does not contain asbestos, lead,
mercury or mercury compounds.

Appendix B9 Vapour Stop Adhesive / Cryogenic Coating

Vapour Stop Adhesive / Cryogenic Coating is a two part
black elastomeric Vapour Stop Adhesive / Cryogenic
Coating designed for use in cryogenic and specific chemical
resistance applications. It is suitable for application to
polyurethane foam, cellular glass and fibrous glass
insulation in conjunction with aluminium, steel, wood and
masonry construction materials. Vapour Stop Adhesive /
Cryogenic Coating has excellent resistance to moisture,
water vapour and other gases in addition to most oils, mild
solvents, inorganic acids, inorganic bases and salt solutions.
Vapour Stop Adhesive / Cryogenic Coating is suitable for
bonding and sealing lap joints in plywood and metal and
for adhering glass cloth to itself and other surfaces.
It can function both as a vapour barrier and adhesive in
very low temperature applications where a water vapour
tight insulation system is required. It is an excellent vapour
stop material.
Vapour Stop Adhesive / Cryogenic Coating does not
contain no lead, asbestos, mercury, or mercury compounds.
