PIP INSR1000
Installation of Flexible, Removable/Reusable
Insulation Covers for Hot Insulation Service
PURPOSE AND USE OF PROCESS INDUSTRY PRACTICES
In an effort to minimize the cost of process industry facilities, this Practice has
been prepared from the technical requirements in the existing standards of major
industrial users, contractors, or standards organizations. By harmonizing these technical
requirements into a single set of Practices, administrative, application, and engineering
costs to both the purchaser and the manufacturer should be reduced. While this Practice
is expected to incorporate the majority of requirements of most users, individual
applications may involve requirements that will be appended to and take precedence
over this Practice. Determinations concerning fitness for purpose and particular matters
or application of the Practice to particular project or engineering situations should not
be made solely on information contained in these materials. The use of trade names
from time to time should not be viewed as an expression of preference but rather
recognized as normal usage in the trade. Other brands having the same specifications
are equally correct and may be substituted for those named. All Practices or guidelines
are intended to be consistent with applicable laws and regulations including OSHA
requirements. To the extent these Practices or guidelines should conflict with OSHA or
other applicable laws or regulations, such laws or regulations must be followed.
Consult an appropriate professional before applying or acting on any material
contained in or suggested by the Practice.

Installation of Flexible, Removable/Reusable
Insulation Covers for Hot Insulation Service
Table of Contents
1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose
This Practice provides requirements for the installer of flexible, removable/reusable
insulation covers for hot service insulation systems.
1.2 Scope
This Practice describes the minimum requirements for materials, fabrication, and
installation of flexible, removable/reusable hot service insulation covers, ambient to
538°C (1000°F).
2. References
Applicable parts of the following Practices, industry codes and standards, and references shall
be considered an integral part of this Practice. The edition in effect on the date of contract
award shall be used, except as otherwise noted. Short titles are used herein where appropriate.
3. Definitions
supplier: Party responsible for furnishing and/or installing the insulation system
owner: The party who owns the facility wherein the installation system will be used
purchaser: The party who awards the contract to the supplier. The purchaser may be the
owner or the owner's authorized agent.
manufacturer: Party responsible for making the insulation covers for hot insulation service
4. Requirements
4.1 Materials
4.1.1 General
4.1.1.1 Insulation and accessory materials shall be furnished in accordance
with the requirements of this Practice, including the specific grade
or type.
4.1.1.2 Insulation and accessory materials shall be formulated without
asbestos.
4.1.1.3 Materials shall be new and shall be used prior to the expiration
date.
4.1.1.4 Use of materials other than those specified in this Practice shall
require prior written approval of the purchaser. Requests for
substitutions shall be included as an alternate in the bidder’s
proposal.
4.1.1.5 Alternative insulation materials may be specified by the purchaser
on data sheet INSR1000-D3, as needed.
4.1.2 Testing
4.1.2.1 All materials shall be qualified for use on austenitic stainless steel
in accordance with ASTM C795. If requested, test reports shall be
furnished.
4.1.2.2 Material manufacturer shall also furnish a chemical analysis in
accordance with ASTM C871 for materials. This chemical analysis
shall not vary by more than 50% from the chemical analysis of the
production lot tested under ASTM C692.
4.1.2.3 Unless otherwise specified in the purchase order, certification of
chemical analysis is not required for each production lot from
which material is furnished for this project. However, the
manufacturer shall state that the chemical analysis will not vary by
more than 50% from those done during the production lot tested
under ASTM C795.
the insulation core, but not the hot face jacketing. Point protectors
shall be used to prevent penetration of the hot face jacketing.
4.2.3 Tie-Down/Anchor Strap Construction
4.2.3.1 The terminal ends of splits in covers shall be constructed with flaps
or drawcord/flaps to seal the covers from wind and water. Flaps
shall have no gaps where they contact adjacent insulation.
4.2.3.2 D-ring type buckles and/or hook-and-loop tie-down/anchor straps
shall be used.
4.2.3.3 Lacing Hooks
1. Lacing hooks and wire shall not be used unless approved by the
Purchaser.
2. If Purchaser approves the use of lacing hooks and wires, the
lacing hooks shall be tufted to the cold face jacketing.
3. If lacing hooks penetrate the hot face, the hooks shall be
secured by self-locking washers with a patch of the hot face
jacketing material sewn over the washer.
4. A silicone rubber patch shall be placed between the washer and
the cover.
4.2.3.4 Ends of straps shall be turned under 6 mm (1/4 inch) to 13 mm
(1/2 inch) and double stitched to prevent unraveling.
4.2.3.5 Strap length and number of straps for covers shall be sufficient to
ensure a snug and proper fit without gaps or sagging of the cover.
4.2.3.6 Tie-down strap length shall have a minimum of 150 mm (6 inches)
excess length for pulling and securing.
4.2.3.7 Drawcords
1. Drawcords shall be used if terminal ends of covers need to be
drawn down around adjacent insulation, valve bonnets, nozzles,
etc., to seal the covers from wind and water.
2. Covers shall incorporate flaps at the terminal ends. Drawcord
shall be located within this flap.
3. Tie-down/anchor straps adjacent to the covers terminal ends
shall be spaced a minimum of 50 mm (2 inches) back from the
drawcord flaps.
4. Cord length shall be sufficient to allow a minimum of 150 mm
(6 inches) of cord to protrude from each end of the flap when it
is drawn down.
5. Cut ends of braided sleeving cord shall be turned back inside
the sleeving a minimum of 25 mm (1 inch) and double-stitched
to prevent fraying.
6. A double stitch shall be located at the middle of the flap to
secure the cord and prevent it from pulling out.
4.4 Inspection
4.4.1 The Purchaser reserves the right to inspect the covers during manufacture.
4.4.2 Any materials or installations that do not meet the requirements of this
Practice shall be replaced or corrected.
4.6 Documentation
4.6.1 Documents required to define the scope of work shall be listed on
Documentation Requirements Sheet INSR1000-D1.
