Pages From 0000-SP-50-22 - 2 - Thermal - Insulation - Specification

This document provides specifications for thermal insulation on the Oyu Tolgoi Project. It specifies that blanket insulation will be used for most vessels, tanks, large piping, and equipment, with block insulation used for tops of vertical vessels and walkways. Fiberglass will be used for carbon steel piping and equipment, with exceptions, while expanded perlite will be used for stainless steel. Calcium silicate will be used for carbon steel tank roofs and tops of vessels. Jacketing will typically be aluminum, but stainless steel will be used in hazardous areas.

THERMAL INSULATION

G. The basic insulating material for vessels, tanks, exchangers, piping greater than 610 mm OD
(NPS 24), and equipment shall be blankets (called “board” by some manufacturers); the
exception would be horizontal piping that may be subject to human foot traffic, then block
insulation shall be installed.

H. Block insulation shall be used on the top of heads of vertical vessels and for walkways on
storage tank roofs. Blankets shall be used for bottom heads of vertical vessels, horizontal
vessels, and tubular equipment heads.

2.2 Insulation Materials

Fiberglass shall be used on all Carbon Steel pipe and equipment with the exception of the top of
tanks and vessels where Calcium Silicate shall be used. Expanded Perlite insulation shall be used
on all Stainless Steel pipe and equipment. Selection and use of alternate materials require prior
approval from the Buyer:

A. Application: Carbon Steel piping, tank shells and vessels (except top heads)

Material type: Fiberglass


Service temperature limit: 450°C
Specification: ASTM C547 or ASTM C612
Applicable forms: Pipe Covering, Board and Flexible Blankets

B. Application: Stainless Steel piping, tanks and vessels

Material type: Expanded Perlite


Service temperature limit: 649°C
Specification: ASTM C610
Applicable forms: Pipe sections and blocks

C. Application: Carbon Steel tank roofs and top heads of vessels

Material type: Calcium Silicate


Service temperature limit: 649°C
Specification: ASTM C533
Applicable forms: Block

2.3 Jacketing Materials

A. Jackets shall be aluminum except in hazardous areas where type 304 stainless steel shall be
used (refer to Attachment 5).

B. Metal jacketing systems shall have a moisture barrier to prevent galvanic corrosion at the metal
to insulation interface of the jacket and the pipe. Moisture barrier shall be applied to the
underside of the metal jacket.

C. Adhesive mounted non-skid material shall be placed on roof jacketing in areas where normal
maintenance access is provided.
