Horizontal surfaces should be insulated after pressure testing. However, they may be insulated before
pressure testing upon Company approval provided the insulation is temporarily held back a minimum
distance of 150 mm on either side of welds, threaded, or bolted connections. After completion of
pressure testing, all missing insulation shall be installed and appropriately weatherproofed.

3.4

Valves and Flanges

In order to protect the flange mating faces, a removable flange protection made of AISI 316 stainless
steel shall be installed around the outer diameter of flanges. Tightness shall be reinforced with a

Insulation Application
Single layer pipe insulation shall be applied in a staggered circumferential joint arrangement. Multiple
layer pipe insulation shall be applied with all joints staggered. The following chart details when single
or multiple layer insulation shall be used.

Inside layer : 4 and 10

Outside layer : 3 and 9

The circumferential joints of multiple layer insulation systems shall be staggered 150 mm from the
circumferential joints of any adjacent preceding or succeeding layer.

minimum each extreme shall be secured.
4.2

Weatherproofing Application

All pipe fitting covers shall be banded on each extreme.

A watertight metal termination cover shall be installed where pipe insulation terminates. Insulation at
each termination shall be square cut. Band clips shall be equally spaced with one clip at the overlap.
Termination covers shall be with a band at each circumferential overlap and sheet metal screws
spaced on centers.

Irregularly shaped surfaces, which cannot be suitably weather proofed with metal jacketing, shall be
finished with a thick layer of finishing cement. A thick coat of weatherproofing mastic with reinforcing
fabric shall be applied over the cured cement. This finish shall extend at least 50 mm under the
adjacent metal jacketing. No porosity shall exist in the weatherproofing mastic when dry.
Sheet metal screws for fastening the metal weather proofing shall have a neoprene washer under its

5. INSULATION OF VESSELS AND REQUIREMENT

5.1

Insulation Application
If needed, insulation on vessels and tubular equipment shall be applied in a staggered joint
arrangement to fit the contour so that no gaps are evident.
The insulation shall be secured in place with bands spaced on 450 mm centers
Banding of insulation over the head of horizontal equipment and top heads of vertical equipment shall
be as follows:

A floating ring, large enough to clear the center nozzle flange, if one exists, shall be made
from 6 mm diameter stainless steel rod. The ring shall be placed in the center of the head.
A girth ring, made from two bands shall be installed on the shell at approximately 150 mm
below the tangent line of the head.

Bands shall be run radially from the floating ring to the girth ring. The radial bands shall be
spaced at 300 mm maximum centers on the girth ring.

the center of each stiffener ring.
Insulation shall be applied behind the name plate mounting bracket, when possible.
5.2

Weatherproofing Application
Vessel and tubular equipment shells shall be weatherproofed with aluminum jacketing, (1.0 mm thick
by 35 mm corrugated).
Vertical overlaps of corrugated metal jacket sections shall be a minimum of one and one half
corrugations but not less than 75 mm. Vertical overlaps of non-corrugated metal jacket sections shall
be a minimum of 75 mm.

Circumferential overlaps at the top tangent lines, transitions and stiffeners shall be a minimum of 150
mm. All other circumferential overlaps shall be a minimum of 75 mm.

Metal jacketing overlaps and seams shall be arranged to shed water. Seams shall be water and
weather tight.

Insulation on the heads and transitions shall be weatherproofed with metal jacketing fabricated from
gores shaped to fit and lapped a minimum of 75 mm to ensure a weather tight construction. The gores
shall be secured with screw spaced on 75 mm maximum centers. All overlaps on the top head shall
have sealant.

On vertical vessels and equipment, S-clips shall be used to keep the jacket sheets from sliding down.
S-clips shall be fabricated from 20 mm wide bands. The length of the S-clip shall equal the overlap.
They shall be spaced on 300 mm maximum centers but not less than three per each metal sheet.

Metal jacketing over shells less than 4.60 meters in diameter shall be secured with bands spaced on
300 mm maximum centers. Band spacing shall be calculated on an individual basis for shells greater
than 4.60 meters in diameter. Each circumferential overlap shall have a band installed. J- clips,
fastened to the jacket with screws, shall be used to prevent bands from sliding down. Each band shall

have J-clips on 1.80 meters maximum centers but not less than four J-clips per band. The band at the
overlap shall be installed over the S-clips.
Band shall be secured or fastened with closed seals. Wing type seals are not allowed on tank,
pressure vessel and equipment shells.

Insulated surfaces such as equipment bottom heads, which are not exposed to weather, may be
weatherproofed with mastic and scrim cloth in lieu of metal.

Heads of vessels and tubular equipment shall be weatherproofed with metal jacket. A minimum of 150
mm shall be turned down and overlap the shell jacketing. The jacketing shall be formed to fit the
contour of insulation. All seams shall be made up by lock-seam construction and secured with screws
spaced on 125 mm maximum centers. The head jacketing overlap shall be fastened to the jacketing
on the shell with sheet metal screws spaced on 125 mm centers. The head jacketing shall also be
secured in place at the circumferential overlap with a band.

6. MOISTURE PROTECTION
The cut surfaces of insulation segments at terminations and cut-outs shall be covered with 2 layers of
0.15 mm thick aluminium foil extending 300 mm on the underside and top of the insulation. The foil
shall be considered as a protective measure against rain water and not as a substitution for
weatherproofing.

A semi circular rain shield fabricated from 0.5 mm thick aluminium shall be installed immediately above
each uninsulated horizontal protrusion. The shield shall be at least 25 mm under the adjacent vertical
weatherproofing and project 25 mm to the side from the vertical surface.

-

-10C or below

+65C or greater

To avoid corrosion under insulation, insulation is not to be used for personnel protection. Expanded
metal or wire gauges are suitable and to be used.
However if insulation is to be used for personnel protection, mineral wool shall be used and thickness
shall not be less than 25mm.
Barrier system shall be consisting of perforated sheets or wire mesh. Barrier system used for

Protection
The distances between the perforated metal sheets/guards and bare surface and insulation thickness
