PREFORMED FIBROUS PIPE INSULATION -
SPECIFICATION
( First Revision )
FOREWORD
This Indian Standard ( First Revision ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the
draft finalized by the Thermal Insulation Materials Sectional Committee had been approved by
the Chemical Division Council.
Preformed fibrous pipe insulation can be used with a suitable finish and vapour barrier to avoid
ingress of moisture, for a temperature range of -40 to 700°C. Use at lower temperatures has not
been covered in this standard as the methods for testing preformed fibrous pipe insulation
at lower temperatures have not been fully established yet. Possibility of use at lower tempera-
tures is being examined along with the application techniques which are equally important.
This standard was first published in 1981. Based on experience gained during the last decade the
requirements of dimensions and heat resistance test have been modified and sampling proce-
dure has also been modified in this revision.
The composition of technical committee responsible for preparation of this standard is given in
Annex D.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with,
the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded
off in accordance with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised )‘. The number
of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified
value in this standard.
