ACOUSTIC INSULATION SYSTEMS SPECIFICATION

1.0 GENERAL

1.1 Scope

This specification is provided to define requirements for acoustic insulation systems. It

describes the requirements for the design, application and extent of acoustic insulation on
piping and equipment operating at both high and low temperatures. It is provided in
support of Specification MQ-SP-M-4045, Hot Insulation.

1.2 Terminology

Application Data shall mean application instructions, recommendations and guidelines

described in the published literature of the insulation materials' Manufacturer, referenced
industry standards and any specific requirements noted in this specification and any
drawings issued to the Contractor. In case of conflicting requirements between the
documents, Contractor shall submit all conflicting information to the Buyer for
resolution. If the published literature of the Manufacturer does not contain required
information, Contractor shall obtain additional information from the parent corporate
office of the Manufacturer. Any deviations from or changes to Manufacturer's published
literature shall be subject to Buyer’s review, acceptance or rejection.

Note: Where recommendations, instructions and guidelines are given in permissive

language such as “may,” “should,” and “recommended,” compliance with those
recommendations, instructions and guidelines shall be considered mandatory
unless otherwise instructed by the Buyer.)

Approved Equal shall mean a product approved by the Buyer as equal to the product
specified in this specification.

Buyer shall mean the detailed engineering contractor, acting for the Owner.

Contractor shall mean the insulation contractor.

Insulated Surfaces shall mean steel surfaces that will be insulated.

Manufacturer shall mean the manufacturer of the specified insulation, jacketing and/or
accessories.

ACOUSTIC INSULATION SYSTEMS SPECIFICATION

Operating Temperature shall mean the maximum temperature of the substrate surface
exposed to weather (indoor and outdoor) during operating conditions. Owner shall mean
the Owner of the Project or its authorized representative.

Piping shall mean piping, pipe fittings, valves, pipe supports and accessories unless a
particular item and/or size limitation is stated.

Stainless Steel (SS) shall mean austenitic stainless steel such as Type 304, 316, 321 and
347.

Uninsulated Surfaces shall mean carbon steel or stainless steel and other alloy surfaces
which will not be insulated.

Work shall mean all labor, supervision, installed and consumable materials, services,
equipment, instruments, tools, and each and every item of expense necessary for
application of acoustic and thermal insulation materials, repairs, quality control, and
cleanup thereafter.

2.0 REFERENCES

The latest revision, including addenda, of the following references in effect on the latest date of
this Specification form a part of this Specification. Except as modified by the requirements
specified in this Specification or on the drawings, all Work performed shall comply with the
following references. Any conflicts between the following references and this Specification shall
be resolved by the Buyer.

Revision 1

ACOUSTIC INSULATION SYSTEMS SPECIFICATION

4.2 Revise Section 4.1.2 to read: “The general requirements for design and
installation of insulation contained in MQ-SP-M-4045.”

4.3 Revise the first sentence of Section 4.1.10 to read: “If insulation is required for
reasons other than for acoustic control, the appropriate thickness table in MQ-SP-
M-4045 shall be used to determine the minimum insulation thickness.”

4.4 Revise Section 4.4 to read: “Project specific requirements for acoustic insulation
on piping and equipment shall be specified in MQ-SP-M-4045.”

5.0 MATERIALS

The insulation and accessory materials for application to surfaces requiring acoustic treatment
shall be as specified in MQ-SP-M-4045 Specification for Hot Insulation.

6.0 QA/QC (QUALITY ASSURANCE AND QUALITY CONTROL)

6.1 Documentation

The Supplier and Contractor are solely responsible for all QA/QC activities regardless
of any QA/QC activities performed by the Buyer. The Supplier and Contractor shall
maintain documentation to comply with the guidelines of ASTM D3276. Inspection shall
also comply with the following additional requirements. Any approvals for products and
procedures submitted by the Supplier and Contractor shall be considered additional to
the requirements stated in the specification and shall not be considered as a substitution to
the requirements of this specification.

All QA/QC documentation for work performed shall be made available to the Buyer on
demand and without notice. If the Supplier and Contractor are unable to produce the
QA/QC documentation to the satisfaction of the Buyer, such absence of documentation
shall be sufficient cause for the Buyer to reject the work performed.

The Buyer’s review (or lack thereof) of quality control documents shall not be construed
as acceptance of omissions or defective work. Nor shall it in any way lessen the
Supplier’s responsibilities to provide a completely operative system or component in full
compliance with this specification.

6.2 Minimum Inspection Required Prior To and During Insulation Application

Verify that all oil, grease, dirt, chlorides and other contaminants have been removed.
