9 9.1 9.1.1 INSULATION OF HOT SURFACES IN HAZARDOUS AREAS GENERAL Where in hazardous areas the surface temperatures of pipe/equipment exceeds 205C, the insulation shall apply to all components and the system shall be sealed to inhibit the possible ingress of gases QUALITY CONTROL, CERTIFICATION AND GUARANTEES GENERAL All work is to be carried out in accordance with the insulation Contractors Quality Control Plan which is to be approved by SEIC or their nominated representative. SEIC or their nominated representative shall have the right to test and inspect all work and materials on site or at the factory, to verify that the requirements of the specifications and codes with regard to manufacture, supply and installation have been met. Such inspection shall not relieve the Contractor from full responsibility for the quality and correctness of the materials and or work. ACOUSTIC INSULATION SPECIFICATION SCOPE This specification covers the minimum requirements for materials and application of acoustic insulation for pipe work and valves with reference to the Acoustic Insulation Schedule. It does not cover acoustic insulation of other equipment (vessels, machinery, etc). DESIGN AND MATERIALS The construction and installation of acoustic pipe insulation shall be generally in accordance with the requirements of ISO 9053 Acoustics;Materials for Acoustical applications;determinations of airflow resistance and with this specification. Where lines have combined classes, with the exception of cold insulation, the greater requirement for thickness and cladding of the two shall apply. The mineral wool insulation layer shall be of a semi-rigid or flexible blanket grade only. Where cold insulation is part of a combined requirement, both cold insulation and mineral wool shall be applied. The full cold system shall be applied first, including the vapour barrier, then the acoustic system shall be applied on top. Acoustic pipe insulation shall be either types A,B, C as defined below: Class A Acoustic insulation shall comprise of an insulating layer of mineral wool, 50 mm thick. The wool shall have a density of between 125-150 kg/m2 and a flow resistivity in the range of 25000-75000 Ns/m4. Flexible noise barrier, min 2.5 mm thick, density min 5 kg/m 2, (by Noisco, Revac or equivalent) Non-metallic top covering. Flanges and valves do not require insulation. Pipe supports shall be insulated down to steel base. Class B Acoustic insulation shall comprise of an insulating layer of mineral wool, 100 mm thick.

The wool shall have a density of between 125-150 kg/m3 and a flow resistivity in the range of 25000-75000 Ns/m4. Flexible noise barrier, min 2.5 mm thick, density min 5 k/m2 (by Noisco, Revac or equivalent) Non-metallic top covering. Flanges and valves do not require insulation. Pipe supports shall be insulated down to steel base. Class C Acoustic insulation shall comprise of an insulating layer of mineral wool, 100 mm thick. The wool shall have a density of between 125-150 kg/m3 and a flow resistivity in the range of 25000-75000 Ns/m4. Flexible noise barrier, min 2.5 min thick, density min 10 kg/m2. Non-metallic top covering. Flanges and valves do require insulation Pipe supports shall be insulated down to steel base. 11.2.4 11.2.5 Where localised reduction in thickness may occur, due to space constraints, the construction detail for the specified thickness shall be maintained. All materials shall be suitable for the operating temperatures and for the chemical nature of the environment. They shall conform to the specification for thermal insulation and to any relevant requirements for compatibility and surface spread of flame. To attain the rated performance of the specified insulation, it is essential that the flexible noise barrier is sealed to prevent noise leakage. This shall be achieved by provision of overlapped joints combined with self-adhesive metal foil tape. Suitable materials for anti-vibration seals are synthetic rubber and natural rubber. The antivibration seal may also be required to act as a waterproof seal, and the material shall be suitable for this duty. Where these materials are not compatible with the operating temperature, the seal shall be made from compressed porous-layer material, with continuity of vapour barrier maintained as far as practicable. Rigid spacers, as used in distance rings for thermal insulation, shall not be used in acoustic insulation. Where it is necessary to use spacers, they shall contain a resilient element to reduce the transmission of vibrations from the pipe. Where necessary the resilient element shall have a built-in mechanical stop in the direction normal to the pipe axis in order to limit its mechanical deflection. With vertical pipes, any supports which carry the weight of the cladding shall contain resilient elements to reduce the transmission of vibrations from the pipe. Where necessary, these resilient elements should contain mechanical stops to limit excess movement.

The vibration isolating materials shall be selected for the required mechanical properties as well as the acoustic properties.
