Method for specifying thermal
insulating materials for pipes,
tanks, vessels, ductwork and
equipment operating within
the temperature range –40 °C
to +700 °C
This British Standard describes a method for specifying requirements
for thermal insulating materials on pipes, tanks, vessels, ductwork
and equipment for certain defined applications and conditions
within the temperature range –40 °C to +700 °C. It also specifies some
physical requirements for the insulating materials. It is intended for
use by designers, specifiers, contractors and manufacturers of thermal
insulation.
This British Standard does not apply to pipelines that are embedded
underground, nor does it refer to the insulation of building construction.
