SCOPE
This procedure covers the requirements for materials and application of thermal
insulation and weather proofing to piping and equipments specified at CUI Programme
release for assessment and mitigation.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
1. Insulators shall meet the safety coordinator for general safety guidelines before
commencing any insulation activity.
2. Insulators shall take appropriate preventive measures and precautions to reduce
personal exposure to mineral fiber dust and crystalline silica. Such measures and
precautions shall include at least the following:
3. Insulators are responsible to train their assistants and helpers in proper material
handling, fabrication and use of insulation materials.
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Insulation Removal or Delagging
Cladding and insulation shall be removed on specified piping and equipment that
was confirmed with Technologist and Operation(with approval via e-mail).
Care must be taken on removal of cladding and insulation for possible re-use (fillup insulation cladding delagged form).
Delagged section of equipment and piping must be reported immediately to
inspection team for inspection and assessment thru inspection request and letter of
transmittal.
2. Reinsulation
3. Cladding Installation
Metal cladding shall be overlapped 50mm minimum at all seams (see Fig.1),
arranged to completely shed water, and preferably located on the bottom side on
the horizontal pipe (see Fig 2.). Joints shall be staggered 100mm between
sections (see Fig 3.). The edges of the aluminum cladding at the overlapped
should be furrowed or crimped with a 15mm radius bead. (see Fig 4).

Should the insulation and cladding be terminated near flanges on vertical pipes,
end cap should be installed on top termination with sealant on end cap
circumference touching pipe while end flushing should be installed on lower
termination with no sealant at all points. End cap will also be installed on
horizontal pipe termination with sealant on cladding touching pipe (see Fig. 5).

1. Quality control activities shall include at least the following activities at the time of
receipt of the materials.
Appropriate checks to verify materials received at the site are same as the
specified or approved materials. Such checks shall include verification of labels,
material safety data sheets, delivery receipts, and thicknesses. If unspecified or
unapproved insulation, weatherproofing, and accessories are located at the site,
such materials must be removed from the site.
Warehousing of materials to assure product dryness and life.
2. Quality control activities shall include at least the following prior to insulation
application:
3. Quality control activities shall include at least the following during insulation
application:
Appropriate checks to verify materials applied are the same as the specified or
approved materials.
Verify product temperature limit against the operating temperature of the insulated
item, insulation code (applied versus the insulation code on the PEFS), thickness,
and weatherproofing.
Check for insulation supports (location, type, width, and length as applicable)
Verify installation of insulation to ensure that surface is continuous without gaps
or voids.
Verify tightness of joints and fasteners.
Verify location, width, and installation of expansion joints.
4. Quality control activities shall include at least the following prior to and during
weatherproofing:
The insulator is solely responsible for all quality control activities and documentation. If
the insulator is unable to conform to this specification, he shall inform inspector for
resolution.
