INTRODUCTION
Coating of equipment and piping shall be selected and applied in accordance with BBS 04.00.4054 (new equipment) or BBS 04.00.4053 (maintenance). The preferred option for protection against chloride stress corrosion cracking of stainless steel equipment and piping shall be application of thermal sprayed aluminium (TSA). Aluminium foil can be used as an alternative in lieu of TSA to provide a physical barrier between austenitic stainless steel and the thermal insulation, but only after consultation with and approval of the civil engineering department. Organic coatings to protect stainless steel equipment and piping from external stress corrosion cracking shall only be considered when neither TSA nor its alternative of aluminium foil wrapping are technically viable options.

1.1

GENERAL
Scope This General Specification (GS) covers requirements for application of aluminum foil under thermal insulation for austenitic stainless steel equipment and piping. Comment: Aluminum foil can be used in lieu of conventional organic coatings that are used to provide a physical barrier between the austenitic stainless steel and the thermal insulation. Aluminum foil provides some physical barrier but acts primarily as a sacrificial anode to provide electrochemical (cathodic) protection against external chloride stress corrosion cracking. References Applicable requirements in the following referenced standards and specifications shall be considered an integral part of this GS. Unless otherwise specified, the latest edition/revision of the standards/specifications shall be used.

1.5

External Chloride Stress Corrosion Cracking 1. External chloride stress corrosion cracking (ECSCC) is cracking that may occur in austenitic stainless steel with or without insulation. 2. If there is corrosion under insulation (CUI), ECSCC is the result of ingress of water and chlorides. Chlorides are introduced if the insulation contains chlorides from manufacture and/or ingress of chloride containing water.

Comment: ECSCC is the same as chloride stress corrosion cracking (Cl-SCC) that can occur in austenitic stainless steels and certain other austenitic alloys exposed to aqueous, chloridecontaining environments above 120F (50C). 1.6 Temperature Considerations Applicable temperature range for use of aluminum foil under insulation is 120F (50C) to 400F (200C) for continuous service and 900F (480C) for cyclic conditions. Comment: Aluminum melts at 1215F (657C). Austenitic stainless steel is not susceptible to Liquid Metal Embrittlement (LME) when in contact with pure grades of molten aluminum. Zinc must be present in the aluminum to cause LME. 1.7 New Equipment and Piping 1. New uncoated austenitic stainless steel surfaces to be covered with aluminum foil shall be cleaned in accordance with SSPC SP-1 or EN-ISO 12944. 2. 3. 4. Cleaning shall remove all dirt, oil, grease, salts, moisture, chemicals, and other contamination. Chlorinated solvents shall not be used for cleaning. Abrasive blasting is not required.

1.8

Existing Equipment and Piping 1. Existing coated austenitic stainless steel surfaces to be covered with aluminum foil shall be washed with low pressure water cleaning (LPWC). 2. LPWC shall remove grime, loose and chalky paint, salt contaminants, and loose rust. If fresh water (water with less than 250 ppm chlorides) is used for LPWC, the surfaces shall be rinsed with water containing less than 10 ppm chlorides. LPWC shall be done with the water nozzle approximately perpendicular to the surface. Comment: Using excessive pressure and low nozzle angle may cause undue damage to the existing coating. Comment: Demineralized water may be used to clean chloride contamination from uncoated stainless steel. 4. 5. Existing aluminum foil shall be completely removed. Surfaces to be covered with aluminum foil shall be inspected for sharp edges, weld spatter, and protuberances. If any such conditions exist, the purchaser shall have them ground smooth or rounded.

3.

2.

MATERIAL
1. 2. 3. Aluminum foil shall have an aluminum content of 99%, equivalent to Alloy 1100. Aluminum foil shall have a minimum nominal thickness of 2.5 mils (64 micrometer) or 46 swg. Self-adhesive foil may be used for complex configurations, such as vessel heads and attachments. Adhesive shall contain less than 10 ppm chlorides. No other adhesive or sticky tape is allowed unless it contains less than 10 ppm chlorides.

3.

APPLICATION
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Aluminum foil shall be applied as soon as practical after the surfaces are cleaned. Foil shall not be applied if the cleaned surface temperature is less than 5F (3C) above the dew point. Unless otherwise specified, foil shall not be applied if the relative humidity is greater than 85%. Personnel who apply the foil shall wear gloves to avoid touching the stainless steel surfaces with bare hands. Torn or damaged foil shall not be used. Foil shall be applied as tightly as possible without any creases. Where partial coatings exist, stainless steel wire shall be used to hold the foil in place. Wire shall be grounded to equipment/piping flanges. Comment: The aluminum foil cannot provide electrochemical protection against chloride stress corrosion cracking unless there is elektrical contact between the foil and the metal. Paintings or coatings may act as an insulator and should preferably be removed unless sufficient elektrical contact exists between the aluminum wrapping and the austenitic stainless steel. 8. 9. Foil shall be applied prior to installing elektrical or steam tracing. Foil shall be applied bottom to top so that it sheds water.

10. Foil shall be applied so that it has a minimum overlap of 2 in. (5 cm) at joints. 11. Insulation and weatherproof finish shall be applied immediately after the foil is applied. 12. Application DOs and DONTs are provided in Appendix 2.
