Provide piping, ductwork and equipment insulation as specified below. 1.02 Definitions: A. Cold Piping/Surfaces: Pipes or surfaces where the normal operating temperature is 60°F or lower. B. Third Party Supervision Testing: Verification testing by a nationally recognized independent testing organization that will conduct sampling of the product through to simulated end use testing. C. Thermal Conductivity: The amount of heat in Btu’s transferred in one hour through one square foot of homogeneous material one inch in thickness when there is a temperature difference of 1°F. D. Compression Fit Method: To allow for expansion and contraction of sheet and roll insulation, leave a 1/2” -wide uncoated border at the butt-edge seams on the surface to be insulated and the insulation surface. Overlap the insulation 1/4” at the butt-edge and compress the edges into place. Apply adhesive to the butt-edges of the insulation. 1.03 Quality Assurance: A. Material shall be delivered in unbroken, factory furnished packaging and stored in a clean, dry indoor space that provides protection against the weather. B. Insulation shall be applied by qualified personnel skilled in this trade. C. Progressive testing of the systems to be insulated shall have been completed, inspected and approved by the owners' representative before the insulation is applied. D. Insulation shall not be applied until all surfaces are clean; dry, and free of dirt, dust, grease, frost, moisture, and other extraneous elements. E. Work shall be performed at the temperatures recommended by the product manufacturer. Part 2 – Products 2.01 Elastomeric Insulation: 2.01.1 Acceptable Manufacturers – These specifications are based on products and data of Armacell and designate the type and quality of work intended under this section. Products of other manufacturers proposed as equivalent must be submitted for written approval by the specifying engineer ten days prior to the bid date. Supporting technical data, samples, published specifications and the like must be submitted for comparison. The contractor should warrant that proposed substitutions, if accepted, will provide performance equal to the materials specified herein.
