3.1.7 Insulation materials to be used over austenitic stainless steel surfaces shall be
zinc free and shall be inhibited w it h sodium silicate as per ASTM C-795.The
amount of leachable chloride in the insulation material (except for calcium
silicate) before application shall not exceed 10ppm. In case of calcium silicate it
should not exceed 50ppm. For the chemical analysis of insulation materials
ASTM C-871 shall be referred.
3.1.8 Dimensions and dimensional tolerances f or pipe sections, mattresses & slabs
shall generally be as per respective codes unless otherw ise ment ioned. The
number of pieces to be used shall be as less as possible. When installed the
insulation shall fit snugly and shall have a tight joint.
3.1.9 The insulation materials shall be as per ASTM/BS standards/codes for overseas
jobs unless otherw ise specified.
