5. Background
The insulation system described herein has been specifically developed for Chemetics® acid plant
equipment, ducting and piping. Contact section equipment operates at temperatures up to 650C
(1200F). Thermal growth will be very significant under these conditions. The insulation system
described herein will:
 Allow the equipment to expand without significant radial movement of the cladding
 Prevent damage to the cladding and insulation due to thermal growth of the equipment
 Provide a weather tight system
 Prevent joints in the insulating materials from opening as the equipment expands (cold spots
on the equipment and hot spots on the cladding are thus avoided)
 Achieve superior heat conservation because insulating materials are not excessively
compressed as the equipment expands
6. Scope of Supply
6.1. General

The total insulation thickness will be achieved by layers of 50mm (2”) and/or 25mm (1”) thick mineral
wool mattresses, semi-rigid boards, or formed hollow cylinders as applicable.
9. Installation
9.1. General
The completed installation will be suitable to properly conserve heat, protect personnel, shed water,
resist the corrosive atmospheric conditions present, and accommodate thermal expansion of the
equipment without disrupting the insulation or cladding.
SPCC
Chemetics Inc.
Ilo Peru
The installation methods described herein are approved by Chemetics, but are by no means the only
acceptable methods. Any deviations from the requirements of this Specification must, however, be
noted in the Installer’s proposal and must be approved by Chemetics.
Materials will not be placed or stored directly on the ground.
All precautions recommended by the insulation manufacturers will be followed.
The Installer will ensure that all surfaces to be insulated are dry and clean prior to any welding or
installation of insulation.
The Installer will maintain working areas in a clean and orderly fashion, free of debris and refuse. All
loose, damaged or other unusable materials will be removed to a suitable refuse container on a daily
basis.
The Installer will not cause any equipment, structural steel or buildings to be soiled or damaged.
9.2. Cladding Supports
Large equipment (> 4m (13’) diameter) will have significant thermal growth. Consequently, the
cladding must be supported independently of the insulation by means of cladding support rings and
expansion spacers.
Cladding support rings will be attached to the shell by means of expansion spacers (see Figure 8).
The maximum circumferential distance between expansion spacers will be 600mm (24”). Expansion
spacers will be of sufficient length to allow for thermal expansion of the equipment per the following
table:
Table 1
Equipment Diameter Expansion Allowance
> 4m to 5m (13’ to 16’) 32mm (1 ¼”)
> 5m to 6m (16’ to 20’) 40mm (1 ½”)
> 6m to 7m (20’ to 23’) 45mm (1 ¾”)
> 7m to 8m (23’ to 26’) 50mm (2”)
Cladding support rings will be spaced at 900 to 1200mm (36 to 48”) intervals. The location of support
rings will be selected to minimize circumferential interruptions due to nozzles. When a support ring
intersects a nozzle, continuity of the ring (and hence its load carrying capacity) will be maintained by
installation of an additional ring around the nozzle circumference as shown in Figure 13.
Cladding support rings will be attached to the roof by means of expansion spacers (see Figure 10).
The maximum circumferential spacing between expansion spacers will be 900mm (36”). Radial
spacing between cladding support rings will be the cladding sheet width less 75mm (3”).
All welding will be in accordance with 4-SPC-0060: Equipment Welding Carbon Steel or 4-SPC-0061:
Equipment Welding Austenitic Stainless Steel as applicable.
9.3. Insulation Supports
Capacitor discharge weld pins will be attached to the vessel by capacitor discharge welding. Other
attachment methods require approval by Chemetics.
Pins will be installed on a square pitch. Maximum permissible spacing will be as follows:
SPCC
Chemetics Inc.
Ilo Peru
 Vertical surfaces 500mm (20”)
 Upward facing surfaces 600mm (24”)
 Downward facing surfaces 300mm (12”)
The Subcontractor will indicate the actual pin spacing on the installation drawings. Spacing will be
such that each individual insulation blanket or board is impaled by at least four pins. Pins will not be
used for insulation over duct expansion joints (see Figure 2).
When used with semi-rigid board, pins will be 13mm (1/2”) shorter than the insulation thickness and
no speed washers will be used. When used with mineral wool blankets, the pins will be longer than
the insulation thickness and the ends bent back to below the insulation surface after installation of
speed washers (Figure 4).
9.4. Insulation
Insulation will be installed in a staggered pattern. Minimum offset between seams will be 300mm
(12”). Outer layers will overlap seams in the underlying layers.
Mineral wool blankets will be installed with the wire mesh facing outwards. Adjacent edges of
blankets will be loosely wired together. Additionally, the outermost layers will have a minimum of two
bands in contact with each blanket. Each band will have four CHIL-SPRINGS®.
Semi-rigid mineral wool board will be cut to fit the vessel contour. Voids will be filled with loose
mineral wool insulation.
9.5. Cladding
Cladding sheets will be securely installed such that rain water, melting snow or other atmospheric
moisture cannot come in contact with the insulation.
9.5.1. Large Equipment (> 4m (13’) diameter)
Cladding will be installed in such a manner that the radial and vertical growth of the equipment is
accommodated. Cladding on vertical surfaces may be installed either in horizontal courses or
vertical panels.
Horizontal installation is detailed in Figure 9A. Details are as follows:
 Each horizontal (circumferential) cladding course will be attached to the uppermost support
ring only.
 Horizontal seams will overlap by 75mm (3”) and vertical seams will overlap by 100mm (4”)
minimum.
 Vertical seams in adjacent courses will be offset 300mm (12”) minimum.
 Each horizontal cladding course will be held with a minimum of two spring loaded bands.
Bands will be held in place with loops spaced at 1200mm (48”) intervals.
 Circumferential overlaps between courses will be maintained with “Z” clips on 600mm (24”)
centers.
Vertical installation is detailed in Figure 9B. Details are as follows:
 Each vertical panel will be attached to the uppermost support ring only.

minimum.
 Spring loaded bands will be installed at each support ring. Bands will be held in place with
loops spaced at 1200mm (48”) intervals.
 Cladding sheets will be secured to the lowermost support ring by means of S clips.
Cladding on equipment roofs will be installed as shown in Figure 11.
9.5.2. Small Equipment (< 4m (13’) diameter) and Ducts
 Cladding will be held in place with spring loaded stainless steel bands spaced at 600mm (24”).
minimum (see Figure 5).
 At least one longitudinal seam per cladding course must be designated for expansion (i.e. free
to move as the vessel or duct expands).
 Circumferential overlaps between courses will be maintained with “Z” clips on 600mm (24”)
centers.
 Horizontal joints between roof and shell cladding will be secured by self-tapping screws as
shown in Figure 6.
 Radial seams on equipment roofs will be overlapped using a watertight slip joint as shown in
Figure 7.
 Cladding on equipment and vertical duct runs will be supported by angle cleats resting on
support rings (Figures 5 and 6).
9.5.3. Pipe
 Cladding will be held in place with spring loaded stainless steel bands spaced at 600mm (24”).
 Seams will overlap by 50mm (2”) minimum.
10. Details by Subcontractor
The following details are left to the discretion and experience of the Subcontractor:
 Removable insulation covers on manways
 Details at junctions between vessel and nozzle insulation
 Minor flashing and sealing details
All such details will be defined in the installation drawings and approved by Chemetics prior to
installation. In developing these details, the Subcontractor will ensure that the function and integrity
of the insulation system is not compromised.
