- At vessel heads above 600mm outside diameter are provided flats having
6mm dia holes. The flats are for insulation support and holes provided in them
are to be used for insulation securement. Also provided on either head is a
central ring made of 10 dia galvanized steel rod. For vessels which do not
have central nozzle, these rings shall not be provided by vessel fabricator. For
such vessels, insulation contractor shall provide these rings.
- Boot of vessel, if any, is provided with circular support ring with holes, as
indicated in sketch.
2 Blanket shall be applied over the surface with joints tightly butted and laced together
with Imm dia galvanized lacing wire
Other block insulation shall be applied with the longer dimension parallel to the axis
of the vessel or equipment. When blocks are applied in multiple layers, all joints in
successive layers shall be parallel to the long axis, shall be staggered and sealed with
insulating cement for calcium silicate or suitable adhesive for others. In all cases, the
insulation is to fit the contour of the vessel or equipment, so that the use of a leveling
coat of insulating cement should not be normally necessary to get an acceptable
smooth exterior.
3 Special considerations for insulating high temperature Vessels (Required only if
provided with calcium silicate insulation) (Fig. 15)
This provision is required to take care of the effects of equipment circumferential
thermal expansion on insulation,
This provision is required only for vessels and Exchangers provided with calcium
silicate insulation.
Calcium silicate insulation should be installed in bevelled or curved segments only, to
avoid voids and provide an efficient insulation system,
For equipments upto 3000mm in diameter and 200°C, to take care of equipment
circumferential expansion, the circumferential block is-cut and fitted to be 13mm
greater in circumference than the equipment and secured so that tension of the bands
produces compression on the butt edges rather than on the surface towards the vessel;
the little annular space and the compressiveness of the blocks would suffice to take
care of circumferential expansion of equipment.
If the vessel is above 3000mm in diameter or if temperature is above 200°C or both, a
25mm thick Rockwool fibre blanket insulation shall be applied around the equipment
prior to the application of calcium silicate. This acts as an expansion area around the
‘equipment to act as mechanical and sometimes thermal cushions. The calcium silicate
block must be cut and fitted to the outside radius of the equipment plus the thickness
of the Rockwool spacer insulation. The insulation, when installed, should not
compress the fibrous blanket.
Above provision to take care of circumferential expansion is required both for shell
and head.
4.3.3 Insulation Securement (for all insulation materials) (Refer Fig-13 and 14)
Each layer of insulation on shells of equipment shall be secured by bands at every 225 centres.
Each band shall be machine stretched and tensioned to remove slack only.

applied to the surface of the insulation as soon as possible, after erection, to reduce the
time the insulation is exposed to the weather, to a minimum. Whilst this coat is stil
wet, glass cloth shall be laid over the surface and embedded in the mastic. Care shall
be taken to ensure that the glass cloth is laid smooth and free from wrinkles and that
no pockets of air are trapped beneath the surface. At junctions in the glass cloth, the
overlap shall not be less than 75mm. A second 3mm thick coat of mastic shall be
applied after approximately 12 hrs. When dry this coating shall be a minimum of
1.50mm thick. Care must be taken, however, to ensure that the individual coats are not
greater than 3mm (especially comers) otherwise some cracking of dried coat may
result, The mastic shall not be applied over wet insulation or until the adhesive is dry.
During the drying time, the insulation shall be protected from the weather by
"Alkathene” film type tarpaulin or similar materials approved by Engineer-in-Charge.
