1 Bridge

At the bridge it is important to secure a


high level of fire protection and sound
insulation.
See page 19-51 for A-Constructions
See page 75-77 for Floating Floor
See page 85-91 for Sound Insulation

2 Corridors

Corridors are part of the emergency


escape routes on a vessel. The numbers
of horizontal fire zones passed by the
corridor determine the fire insulation
class.
See page 19-51 for A-Constructions
See page 75-77 for Floating Floor
See page 85-91 for Sound Insulation

3 Storage and tank rooms

In the boiler room, storage rooms and


tank rooms it is often important to insulate surfaces, boilers and pipes.
See page 71 for Penetrations
See page 79-84 for Technical Insulation

4 Engine room

The engine room contains a lot of fire


risks so fire protection is essential. The
engine room is also source of high and
often disturbing noise. It is often filled
with pipes, tanks, containers and other
equipment where technical insulation
is required. It is important to have the
insulation protected so oil vapour does
not get into the insulation material.
See page 19-51 for A-Constructions
See page 79-84 for Technical Insulation
See page 85-91 for Sound Insulation
See page 109 for Surfaces

6 Disco

The discothque, cinema and bar areas


onboard cruise ships are big sources of
noise. It is important to have the right
sound insulation around these areas
towards the neighbouring areas.
See page 19-51 for A-Constructions
See page 75-77 for Floating Floor
See page 85-91 for Sound Insulation

7 Cabins

On board a passenger ship it is essential


to have the right insulation between the
cabins. It is crucial to have the needed
fire protection and it is getting more and
more important to have a high level of
sound and thermal insulation.

See page 19-51 for A-Constructions


See page 75-77 for Floating Floor
See page 85-91 for Sound Insulation

8 Stairways

The stairways are part of the emergency


escape routes on a vessel. The numbers
of vertical fire zones passed by the stairway determine the fire insulation class.

10

See page 19-51 for A-Constructions

9 Galley

In the galley you always have a risk of


fire, as you have a mixture of heat and
flammable materials. In this case it is
also necessary to be aware of the facings
as you have oil vapour in the air.
See page 19-51 for A-Constructions
See page 79-84 for Technical Insulation
See page 109 for Surfaces

10 Public area

The public area is requiring all kinds of


insulation, depending on the situation.
5 Control room

In the control room fire is to be held out


as long as possible as this is the last
place where all the technical equipment
can be controlled. The sound level needs
to be low, as engine crew has to spend a
lot of time here. It is moreover important
that no vapour gets to the machines and
computers and that the room has a reasonable sound level.

Insulation in General
The installation of insulation material can be done in different
ways. It is up to the insulation contractor to choose the best
way for each application. For fire rated constructions the
installation has to follow the official drawings according to
the fire test. Drawings can be found on our website,
www.rockwool-rti.com. In the following you will find
a general description of the way the insulation work can be
done:

Preparation

Fig. 1. Welding of pins to the plate (bulkhead/deck).


As first step the pins must be welded to the plate and stiffener.
Distance between pins should not exceed 300 mm. For fire rated constructions the position of pins must follow the official drawings.

CUTTING

Fig. 2. Painting of the plate.


To avoid corrosion the plate can afterwards be painted with anti
corrosion paint.

Fig.3A. Using an electrical saw to cut large amounts of ROCKWOOL


SeaRox products.
When cutting large quantities of SeaRox insulation it is recommended
to use an electrical saw. This will ensure a good and angular surface
that is easy to tighten against the next Slabs. 2-5 mm oversize
is recommended. The pieces of insulation should be min.150x150 mm.

Fig. 3B. Use a ROCKWOOL knife to cut ROCKWOOL SeaRox Insulation


ROCKWOOL SeaRox insulation can easily be cut with a ROCKWOOL
knife or a similar sharp knife. When the Slabs are cut in 2-5 mm
oversize (depending on density) the optimal tension and tightness can
be obtained when fitting the wool. The pieces of insulation should be
min. 150x150 mm

Fig. 3C. Using a scissors to cut Wired Mats


Wired Mats should be cut with a large shear. 2-5 mm oversize is
recommended. The pieces of insulation should be min. 150x150 mm.

installation

Alternative 1, fig. 4A. Insulation of stiffeners


Depending on the construction it is recommended to start with the
insulation of the stiffeners. First by filling out the space, behind the
stiffener, with SeaRox insulation. The insulation should fit exactly to
the profile structure. Afterwards insulate around the stiffener with the
required thickness of SeaRox insulation.

Alternative 1, fig. 5A. Insulation between stiffeners.


Insulate the plate between stiffeners with SeaRox insulation. Joints
must be tight and no air gaps must be found. In connection with solutions with more than one layer of insulation, the joints should be staggered by 150 mm to ensure that no joints go straight through
both layers.

Alternative 2, fig. 4A. Insulation between stiffeners


Depending on the construction it can be easier to start with insulation
of the plate. Joints must be tight and no air gaps must be found. In
connection with solutions with more than one layer of insulation, the
joints should be staggered by min. 150 mm to ensure that no joints go
straight through both layers.

Alternative 2, fig. 5A. Insulation of stiffeners


Insulate with SeaRox insulation around the stiffener. Fill out the space
behind the stiffener with SeaRox insulation, the insulation should fit
exactly to the profile structure.

Fig. 6 Fixing the insulation


Fix washers on the pins in order to secure fixing of the insulation.

SECURING THE PRODUCT

Securing the product


When installing the insulation all pieces must be fit firmly with
minimum one pin approx 10 mm longer than the nominal thickness of the insulation. On A-constructions the material has to be
fastened with spring washers.

PINS

Securing H-constructions
On H-constructions it is some times required that the pins are approx
40 mm longer than the nominal thickness of the insulation and are
bent in different directions to ensure that the wool is secured.
The additional application of wire mesh is not needed when using new
SeaRox H-constructions because the wire mesh is already part of our
Wired Mat. On H-constructions the material has to be fastened with
spring washers.

Different pins
Steel pins are used for steel decks and bulkheads. The steel pins are
coated with copper for corrosion protection. Stainless steel pins with
aluminium tip are used for aluminium constructions. The pins are
normally 3 mm in diameter and can be aquired in different lengths.

WASHERS

Washers
The spring washers used to slide over the pins for securing the insulation should be 38 mm in diameter and of corrosion protected material.

10

Covering the steel washers


The washer can be fit with a plastic cap to cover the steel tip and to
create a nice looking surface.

vapour barrier
In rooms where vapour will enter the insulation as a reason of temperature/ pressure differences, a vapour barrier is often a demand.
When water vapour is moving from the hot room towards colder
surfaces, it will often lead to problems with corrosion. If it is oil vapour
this will be collected in the wool and endanger the fire properties of
the wool.
To close the surface on the ROCKWOOL SeaRox products there are
several options e.g. reinforced alu foil:
 ll joints must be sealed with a tape width of 75-100 mm to ensure
A
an air tight surface.
Make sure that there is no grease, oil or dirt on the surface before
the tape is applied. This will cause the tape to come loose.
Make sure all holes in the surface are closed.
The surface must have a low flame spread approval if it is used
for marine applications.

Using tape to ensure an airtight surface between two batts


All joints must be sealed with a tape width of 75-100 mm to ensure
an air tight surface. Make sure that there is no grease on the surface
before the tape is applied. Pins and washers should be taped.

storage and stacking


In order to secure the right conditions for storage of ROCKWOOL
marine and offshore products a special set has of conditions been
prepared, e.g. the products:
Must at all times be stored dry indoor in closed warehouse
facilities.
Must not be stacked in more than two layers when delivered
on pallets.
Must only be stored on the flat side when delivered in packages and
must not be stacked in heights of more than three metres.
Must at all times during storage remain untouched and must not be
affected by any kind of treading, sitting or any other similar kind of
exposure.
Must be transported in closed compartments, e.g. trailers, containers and other cargo holds in order to avoid exposure to weather
elements and/or condensation etc.

Stacking of ROCKWOOL SeaRox products


The products must not be stacked in heights of more than three
metres.

Storage of ROCKWOOL SeaRox insulation


The products must at all times be stored dry indoor in closed warehouse facilities.

Do not sit on the ROCKWOOL SeaRox material


The products must at all times during storage remain untouched
and must not be affected by any kind og treading, sitting or any
other similar kind of exposure.

11

Calculation of Materials
Below you will find a rough guidance for estimated need of material. Check your drawings for more detailed calculations.

insulation

2
Based on a plate of X m2: The amount of Slabs
for stiffeners can as guidance be calculated
as X times 0.7

Based on a total amount of insulation for


plate + stiffeners:
The plate equals 60%.
The stiffeners equals 40%

Example:
100 m 2 of plate needs to be insulated.
Calculation of material for stiffener:
100 m 2 x 0.7 = 70 m 2

PINS AND WASHERS

1
As guidance the use of pins and washers can
be calculated as follows:
Plate in m2 times min. 12.
Stiffener in m2 times min. 10.

Alternatively the use of pins and washers can


be calculated by the total area of plate and
stiffener in m2 times min. 18.
Example:
A total quantity of 100 m2 plate needs to be insulated; also taking the insulation of stiffeners
into consideration. Estimated need of pins and
washers: 100 m2 x 18 pins/m2 = 1800 pins

Example:
100 m2 insulation of plate requires
100 m2 x 12 pins/m2 = 1200 pins
100 m2 insulation of stiffeners requires
100 m2 x 10 pins/m2 = 1000 pins

TAPE

WASTE

1
As guidance the amount of tape for joints can
be calculated by the insulated in m2 times
4 stated in running metres
Example:
Tape for 100 m2 of insulation;
100 m2 x 4 m/m2 = 400 metres

As guidance the following amount of waste


has to be included:
Insulation area < 100 m2 10% waste
Insulation area > 100 m2 5% waste

In general the customer is always responsible for calculations

12

Choosing the Right Product


To find the correct product it is necessary to know which application it has to be used for e.g.:

Depending on the experience, the labour cost and the


prioritisation it might be relevant to include parameters
as e.g.:

Fire insulation
Easy handling
Sound insulation
Less cutting
Thermal insulation
Fast installation
Insulation of technical installations
Labour intensity
Floating floor insulation
Panels
Insulation of sub-sea pipelines
Combinations e.g. fire and sound insulation

When the application is known, the requirements for product


characteristics need to be evaluated e.g.:
Fire properties
Sound properties

ROCKWOOL Technical Insulation has a large number of certificates for the different products and applications from classification companies based on fire tests made at IMO approved
fire institutes.
When choosing a product it is necessary to choose a product
that is approved by the classification company that has to approve the application/newbuilding in the end.
Some customers prefer to work with constructions based on
Slabs, securing easy handling of small size and fixed products,
others prefer to work with constructions based on Wired Mats.
For some customers it is important to have the best and most
safe solutions typically based on a two layer solution where
other customers tend to focus on easy and fast installation.

Thickness
Thermal conductivity

Finally, it is important to focus on the right documentation


such as:

Mechanical strength

Type approvals

Water repellency

Type certificates

In some applications the weight could be of importance. In


such cases the lighter products can be chosen, but it is not
always the lightest solution that gives the best result. The light
products do not protect against noise in the same frequency
band as the more heavy products, so here it is necessary to
know what result is requested in the end.

When using ROCKWOOL SeaRox insulation onboard a vessel


carrying an EEA flag make sure that the product has the MED
approval symbol (wheelmark).

0575/year
All ROCKWOOL SeaRox products have good fire properties,
but when using the products on ships or offshore rigs it is
necessary to choose the right product fulfilling the needed
fire rating.
For marine and offshore application it is relevant also to
choose for the product with the best properties within water
repellency. All ROCKWOOL SeaRox products have very low
water absorption which secure the best product properties
also in the future.
Furthermore it can be relevant to evaluate the different solutions with regard to the working and installation method.

It is important to make sure that the products and constructions have the right approval needed in the specific project,
e.g. construction approval, non-combustible approval and low
flame spread approval. Remember to check if the certificate is
valid at the time where the insulation plan is approved by the
classification societies.
To secure the highest safety level on-board also remember to
check if the product and construction are tested according to
the latest standard fire test procedure, IMO 2010 FTP Code.

13

Regulations for Fire Insulation


According to SOLAS
The requirements for materials and constructions to meet
specified standards of safety are normally prescribed by international or national laws related to shipping and offshore
installations.
In addition to these regulations classification societies such
as Det Norske Veritas (DNV) and Lloyds Register of Shipping
(LRS) may have additional requirements.

Approvals and Certification


Suppliers of materials and constructions to the
marine and offshore industry must prove that their products, as a minimum, meet the statutory requirements.
 he MED directive (EC Council Directive 96/98/EC - Marine
T
Equipment Directive) has replaced the previous approvals from the maritime authorities within EEA countries.
All products supplied to marine carrying EEA flag must be
subject to the MED directive.
 ED-certificates are issued by
M
notified bodies accredited by an
EEA country. Approved products
bear the mark of conformity.
 lassification societies issue type approval certificates statC
ing the permission to use specific materials and constructions together with any relative restrictions.
 there are special circumstances or requirements for speIf
cial details, it may be required to obtain statements from
other authorities.

14

SOLAS, Chapter II-2, Regulation 5.3.1:


Use of non-combustible materials
Insulating materials shall be non-combustible,
except in cargo spaces, mail rooms, baggage
rooms and refrigerated compartments of service
spaces. Vapour barriers and adhesives used in
conjunction with insulation, as well as the
insulation of pipe fittings for cold service
systems, need not be of non-combustible
materials, but they shall be kept to the minimum
quantity practicable and their exposed surfaces
shall have low flame-spread characteristics.

Approval Requirements
To satisfy the national authorities and classification societies, materials and constructions must be proven to comply
with the national and international requirements. Tests
have to be done at internationally recognised test laboratories.
The tests have to be performed so that the materials or
products are exposed to a fire generated under controlled
conditions that simulate as closely as possible a worst case
scenario.
Test Requirements
There are several national and international requirements
regarding the use of materials on ships and offshore installations. These classifications are required to prove combustibility characteristics and include ignition properties, heat
release and development of toxic gases and smoke.
To prove that materials meet the required fire technical
classification, tests are carried out at recognised test
institutions according to standardised test methods.
Material Test Methods
Testing of materials fire resistance is done according to the
latest FTP code for non-combustibility and where a facing is
applied for low flame spread.
It is important to note that materials which meet the requirements for non-combustibility do not have to be tested for other
fire technical properties.
All ROCKWOOL A- and H-constructions are tested according to FTP-code. FTP-code is describing also the thickness
of the test specimen. The decision about the thickness of the
structural part is in responsibility of the ship designer and will
finally be approved by the responsible class society.
Construction Test Methods
Testing of a constructions fire resistance (decks, bulkheads,
structural steel, penetrations etc.) is normally carried out in a
standardised test furnace, where the construction specimen
is exposed to a fire according to a standardised time/temperature curve.
IMO 2010 FTP Code
As of 1st July 2012 a new fire test procedure within the
marine sector, IMO 2010 FTP Code, came into force. The test
procedures have been revised in order to maintain the highest
practical level of safety as well as the harmonisation of certified test institutes to the same level.

Notified Body
ROCKWOOL Technical Insulation is certified
according to the MED directive. As notified body
we have chosen Det Norske Veritas which also
guaranties our quality by running audits.

opportunity to optimize the SeaRox product assortment
and simplify the range of constructions.
All 5 main constructions can be insulated with only one
product in two dimensions:

SeaRox SL 620, 30 mm and 50 mm.

Existing certificates
will still be valid
after the implementation of the new
test methods.

New Certificates
The range of new fire rated
constructions has been
approved by our notified body,
Det Norske Veritas, and new
certificates have been issued.
To clearly distinguish between
constructions which have been
tested according to either the old or new FTP Code, all new
constructions are issued on separate certificates. As existing
certificates tested according to the old standard expire, they
will be phased out.
To find our new MED-certificates and
to be updated on the status of new
certificates please visit our website:
www.rockwool-rti.com.

As a result of the new IMO 2010 FTP


Code, the existing solutions in the
market will be phased out over the
coming years.
According to the IMO 2010 FTP Code,
existing certificates will still be valid;
however the following limitations
regarding obtaining new certificates
or the renewing of existing
certificates have been implemented:
 ype approval certificates
T
will not be issued on the basis
of test reports more than
5 years old.

Symbol Guide
ROCKWOOL Technical Insulation has made symbols for all
fire rated applications explaining the advantages with each
application:

SYMBOL GUIDE

One layer solution


The construction is based on a solution where the
construction is made with one product in one layer.
This leads to faster installation.

Low construction weight


The construction is based on products with a low
density and/or low thickness which lead to low total
construction weight.

Fast installation
The construction is based on Mats which reduce
the cutting especially around stiffeners, and
consequently faster installation time.

Safe solution
The construction is based on a multiple, typical two
layer solution which results in more safe solutions
especially due to staggered joints.

Optimal sound properties


The construction is based on products with higher
density and/or more thickness which result in better
sound properties.

Easy handling
The construction is based on Slabs, where the small
size and fixed structure of the products give an easy
handling in respect to cutting and installation.

Low water absorption


The construction consists of products with low water
absorption which secure and maintain optimal
product properties.

Blast Resistance
General arrangement prior to testing - blast resistance
- class H

The regulatory requirements for the blast behaviour of
fire rated bulkheads are not normally well documented.
It is considered a general requirement that all parts of fire
divisions maintain the same fire and explosion resistance
and proof of this must be documented through physical
testing.

ROCKWOOL, in association with SINTEF (NBL) in Norway, has performed extensive testing on H-rated ROCKWOOL insulation
systems, using controlled gas explosions. The test results below refer to the same insulation construction with various types of
wire mesh.

Stiffeners
In most bulkhead and deck constructions stiffeners are used to secure the necessary strength in the construction. In order to
prevent heat transmission it is important to secure the right insulation. In general insulation of the stiffeners must follow the
official drawings as carried out in the fire tests.

Solas requires that the stiffeners must be insulated*. One way


is to insulate without filling the space behind the stiffeners.

Bulkhead and Deck Connections


When two plates are connected in a corner, the heat bridge should always be kept in mind when insulating. The structure
must have insulation so that heat transfer can not occur from one unexposed surface through the structure and onto another
unexposed surface. The heat must always go minimum 450 mm under the insulation before reaching an unexposed surface
(acc. to SOLAS MSC/circ. 1120 annex reg. 9.3.4).

Draught Stoppers
Draught stoppers are used above ceilings to avoid the spread
of smoke and flames in case of fire. Normally the classification companies request a B-0 fire insulation above the ceiling.
This can be made from SeaRox WM 640 or SeaRox SL 620 after
request from the local surveyor or the customer.

Installation
Step 1: First the pins are welded vertically to the underside of
the deck in alignment with the required position of the
Draught Stopper.
Step 2: The pins are then bent 90 in a staggered pattern as
shown.
Step 3: The ROCKWOOL product and wire mesh are then
pushed over the pins so that they protrude by a minimum of 25 mm. The insulation is secured by spring
steel washers.
Penetrations
Penetrations through the Draught Stopper are simply made
by cutting out the shape of the penetrating items in the
ROCKWOOL product, for example, pipes, HVAC ducts and
cable racks.

The cut edge of the Wired Mat must fit tightly to the edge of
the penetrating item and the slit in the insulation must be
stitched/taped back together using steel wire/alu tape.

This solution can be used for any type of penetration including multiple penetrations.

Floating Floor Constructions Class A-60


MED-B-7488 includes two different types of A-60 Deck class
Floating Floor constructions.
1) SeaRox SL 480
This solution consists of two layers SeaRox SL 480, each of
minimum 30 mm thickness, covered by minimum 2 mm steel
plate, spot welded at c/c 150 mm.
This construction combines the excellent properties of fire
protection, noise reduction, high compression strength and
thermal insulation.
The max free area recommended is 8 x 8 m. If larger free
areas are to be made, division flat bars should be made. This
allows the insulation to stay in position without the need of
gluing. It is recommended to make full overlap of the two
layers. All joints of the Slabs have to be tight butted joints.
Smaller weld marks, dents, etc. of an approx max diameter of
50 mm and 10 mm height will be absorbed.
If the deck is undulating, an approved self levelling compound
or floor screed will have to be used as first layer; a fire retardant PE compound, cement based filler or similar. If a water
based floor screed or levelling compound is used, it must be
given sufficient time to cure before the floating construction
is installed. It is very important to ensure not to encapsulate
water/moisture, as this will enhance corrosion and limit the
expected life time of the construction.

The top layer has to be made of minimum one layer of 2 mm


steel plate, according to the fire approvals.
Final floor covering has to be decided based upon requirements for mechanical strength and floor finish.
As flooring solution, this one is a safe solution, in the sense
that a SeaRox SL 480 of 200 kg/m3 is very ridged and strong,
and combined with a medium thick steel plate this is normally
adequate for all normal accommodation load up to 40 kN/m2.

ROCKWOOL Technical Insulation is preferred supplier for many marine flooring companies. These companies integrate the ROCKWOOL
products in their more sophisticated solutions.

Note: Deviations from the certified A-60 floating floor construction in


any form, could require new approval by the Class Society or National
Marine Authority.

2) SeaRox SL 436
This solution consists of one layer of SeaRox SL 436, minimum
60 mm thickness, covered by minimum 1.5 + 3 mm steel plate.
The construction gives in addition to the excellent properties
of fire protection, noise reduction and thermal insulation, also
reduction of structural noise/vibrations in the steel deck.

SeaRox SL 436 has been designed with focus on the dynamic


stiffness, i.e. best possible noise reduction. Please note that
the compression strength of this solution is lower than the
SeaRox SL 480 solution.

Sealing of edges to prevent structural noise transmission.

The first layer of steel plate must be 1.5 mm thick, installed


with 50 mm overlap and secured with pop rivets. The second
layer(top layer) must be 3 mm steel plate with butted joints
and spot welded at c/c 150 mm. Top covering has to be decided based upon requirements for mechanical strength and
finish.

Enclosing:
For the perimeter of the construction it is recommended
to finish the insulation with a rigid ROCKWOOL product i.e.
SeaRox SL 436 or SeaRox SL 480 placed edgeways and sealed
with a flexible sealant.

Many of the flooring companies are using ROCKWOOL SeaRox


Slabs in densities of 140 - 200 kg/m3, in combination with more
complex top layers. The max load for the complete flooring
construction will depend entirely on the top layer. The load
capacity of the specific construction is to be calculated and
tested by the flooring company.
ROCKWOOL Technical Insulation is preferred supplier for
many dedicated marine flooring companies. These companies
then create more sophisticated solutions for superb noise
reduction in both high and low frequencies.

Technical Insulation in General


To guarantee a correct process cycle, the condition of the media within the pipes must remain within the set limitations (e.g.
temperature, viscosity, pressure, etc.). In addition to the correct isometric construction and fastening of the piping, the piping
insulation also has an important function. It must ensure that heat losses are effectively reduced and that the installation continues to operate economically and functionally on a permanent basis. This is the only way to guarantee the maximum efficiency
of the process cycle throughout the design service life without losses as a result of faults.

Principally, a thermal insulation structure for piping consists


of an appropriate insulating material, usually covered by
sheet metal cladding. This protects the pipe and the insulation from external influences such as weather or mechanical
loads.
Spacers are also essential with insulation material such as
wired mats, which do not offer sufficient resistance to pressure to hold the weight of the cladding and other external
loads. These spacers transfer the loads from the cladding
directly onto the pipe to be insulated. In case of vertical piping, support structures are fitted to take on the loads of the
insulation and the cladding. In general, support structures
and spacers form thermal bridges.

HVAC Insulation - Pipes


For the HVAC (Heat Ventilation Air Condition) applications
onboard a ship it is most common to use Pipe Sections or
SeaRox Lamella Mats to insulate the pipes. The aim is to
prevent heat loss in heating systems and warm water supply.
It is necessary to supply heating and warm water also in the
last cabin away from the source.

80

The benefits of correct thermal insulation for piping include:


Reduction of heat losses
Cost savings
Reduction of CO2 emission
Frost protection
Process control: ensuring the stability of the process
temperature
Noise reduction
Condensation prevention
(Personal) Protection against high temperatures

Airducts
Today, many requirements are made on air ducts. Most
important is that the comfort on board the vessels or platform living quarters is considered and that no compromises
are made to the demands on fire safety. In connection with
ventilation of cabins and other rooms it must furthermore be
ensured that no condensation is formed and that the required
temperature is maintained all the time. This is obtained by
using one of the ROCKWOOL Technical Insulation products in
the correct thickness. Thickness calculation program can be
found on our webpage.

Insulation with
Pipe Section
 enerally, the best insulation is achieved by using
G
ROCKWOOL Pipe Section. The Pipe Sections can be used
up to max. service temperatures of 620C acc. to EN 14707.
Facing max. 80C. The Pipe Sections are supplied ready
split and hinged for quick and easy snap-on assembly and
are suitable for thermal and acoustical insulation of pipe
work.
 heir excellent fit and high compression resistance mean
T
that Pipe Sections can be applied in a single layer without any additional spacers. Consequently the number of
thermal bridges, which have a negative influence on the
insulation, is greatly reduced.

Banding

ROCKWOOL recommends that the Pipe Section is secured
to the pipe by applying three steel bands per section length,
with the end bands approximately 100mm from the lateral
joints.
If wire ties or spiral binding are to be used, they should
only be considered on pipe sections with an outer surface
diameter of 200 mm or less.

In those cases, there should be:
At least three wires tie per section.
 piral binding must be per section (i.e. tied off at each end
S
of each pipe section).

Multiple Layers
 here there is a requirement for more than one layer of
W
Pipe Section, it is recommended that both layers should be
banded to ensure a consistently tight fit of the insulation.
 he outer layer(s) of the section should be applied with
T
staggered joints, both laterally and longitudinally.

81

Cut pipe section into segments


with a ROCKWOOL knife

Elbows/Bends
 o form insulated elbows with Pipe Section, the section is
T
cut at angles to form segments.
The amount of segments depends on the size of the pipe
and the angle of the elbow.
When the pipe section segments are fit around the pipe,
they are secured with steel banding or wire ties per section.
 ny minor gaps between segments can be filled with pieces

SeaRox Wired Mats.

Fixing

Multiple Layers

Where there is a requirement for more than one layer of
SeaRox Wired Mat, it is recommended that all layers are
stitched or clipped to ensure a consistently tight fit of the

The SeaRox Slabs are installed over metal strap ties. These

Slabs to retain them against the tank wall.
Where the insulation extends more than 4 m in height, intermediate support profiles must be installed onto the tank
wall. Special S-profiles can be used to ensure vertically
staggered joints, while supporting the SeaRox Slabs above
and retaining the SeaRox Slabs below.
 hen more than one layer of SeaRox Slabs is required, all

joints must be staggered and tightly butted together to avoid
thermal bridges.

Special S - profile holds slabs

The SeaRox Slabs must be covered with a flat or profiled


external cladding to protect them from the weather and
mechanical damage.

Cladding
Suitable cladding should be applied to protect the insulation
from weather influences, mechanical loads and (potentially
corrosive) pollution. Selecting the appropriate cladding depends on various factors, such as working loads, wind loads,
ambient temperatures and conditions.
When selecting the appropriate cladding, take the following
points into account:
 s a general rule, galvanised steel more than aluminium is
A
used indoors due to its mechanical strength, fire resistance
and low surface temperature (in comparison to an aluminium cladding).
In corrosive environments like outdoors on deck where salty
water leads to corrision, aluminised steel, stainless steel or
glass reinforced polyester (e.g. Rocktight) is used as cladding. Stainless steel is recommended for use in environments with a fire risk.

84

 he surface temperature of the cladding is influenced by


T
the material type. The following applies as a general rule:
the shinier the surface, the higher the surface temperature.
 o exclude the risk of galvanic corrosion, only use combiT
nations of metals that do not tend to corrode due to their
electrochemical potentials.
 or acoustic insulation, a noise absorbent material (Lead
F
layer, polyethyten foil) is installed on the insulation or inside
the cladding. To reduce the risk of fire, limit the surface
temperatures of the cladding to the maximum operating
temperature of the noise absorbent material.

High R =
good sound insulation
good sound reduction

When the sound hits a wall, the sound is reflected - some will
be absorbed and a small part will be transmitted.
The sound insulating property of the construction, its reduction power called R, is measured in dB and is a measurement
of the power of the construction to prevent the passage of the
sound.
In porous absorbers like ROCKWOOL materials the sound absorption takes place by the sound energy being converted into
frictional heat between the ROCKWOOL fibres. The sound absorption depends on the thickness of the material. The values
at the low frequencies are improved with increased thickness.
The same tendency can be obtained by moving the absorbers
away from the base.
Protection of the absorber by a cover plate does not change
the absorption as long as the plate has a sufficient number of
openings. A perforation of 15% could be sufficient for a 1 mm
thick cover plate of steel.
Thicker covers require a larger number of small holes.

Sound absorption is a material property which describes how


well sound waves are absorbed in a material. When a sound
wave is absorbed, it simply means that the sound wave is
transferred into another kind of energy i.e. heat. On this page
you will find the sound absorption coefficient, w for the most
common SeaRox products.

Sound Reduction
Sound reduction is an impression rating the reduction of
sound through a wall or a building element from one room
to the other. Since the sound reduction may be different at
different frequencies, test measurements are subjected to a
standard procedure which yields a single number that is about
equal to the average sound reduction in the middle of the human hearing range. The weighting procedure is standardized
in ISO 717-1 for the sound reduction of airborne noise.
Rw , Rw: weighted sound reduction index, dB

Rw (dB) is the weighted apparent sound reduction index in


a building, including flanking sound transmission. Rw is the
laboratory value for the weighted sound reduction without
flanking transmission.

Dynamic Stiffness
The dynamic stiffness is an important parameter when optimising floating floors. This is true both with respect to air- and
structure-borne noise, as well as impact noise.
In principle, the dynamic stiffness should be as low as possible
in order to obtain a low natural frequency of the floating floor.
On the other hand, the load bearing capacity and the possible
unfavourable experience of walking on a floor that is too soft
may set a lower limit for the stiffness.
SeaRox SL 436 is the most common product used for floating
floors. This product is produced according to specific levels of
dynamic stiffness according to thickness and the static stiffness also called compression strength.
Read more about SeaRox SL 436 and
floating floors, on page 76.

SeaRox Acoustic Foil


Providing fire protection and noise reduction, in areas where
mechanical strength and resistance to oil contamination is
required has always been a problem. Now ROCKWOOL has a
system which addresses all these issues.
Traditional solutions of insulation incorporating either an
alu-foil or steel plate finish are very good for fire protection
and the prevention of oil contamination, but these surface
materials unfortunately reduce the otherwise excellent noise
absorption properties of the insulation behind.
By using the SeaRox Acoustic Foil system, the noise absorption properties of the SeaRox material will remain.
SeaRox Acoustic Foil is a very strong, thin and durable film
highly resistant to oilmist, which is expected to be found in the
environment of the engine room, compared to traditional solutions like alu-foil.

Easy installation
SeaRox Acoustic Foil must not be fixed directly to the
insulation. It is essential that the film is fitted loosely, with a
small gap between the insulation and the film. This is either
done by wrapping it around the slab or by utilising the welding
pins required to secure the wool to the substrate.
The film should be overlapped by 100 mm minimum. Although
the film is very strong, in some cases it may be necessary to
reinforce any penetration (from pins etc.) with self adhesive
tape. SeaRox Acoustic Foil can be combined with any approved
ROCKWOOL fire protection solution or with any SeaRox
thermal/acoustic insulation product.
Although the solution has been tested as a system, which
includes a perforated steel plate, ROCKWOOL does not supply
this item.

The film (which covers the mineral wool insulation and is


then covered by a perforated steel plate) has been tested for
surface flammability, according to IMO Res MSC.61(67), annex
1 part 5 and IMO res 653(16), by the Danish Institute of Fire
Technology. The result is in full compliance with SOLAS.
To obtain the optimal sound properties the film must be fitted
loosely with a small gap between the film and the insulation.
Documented sound properties
The system has also been tested for sound reduction proving
its unique acoustic perfomance.

Thermal and Comfort


Insulation
The requirements of the indoor climate and comfort have
become more stringent during the recent years. The insulation constitutes an important factor of this, as it ensures that
the correct temperature is obtained.
The most common way of expressing thermal properties is by
using the following nomenclature:
 oefficient of the Thermal Transmission
C
(U-value)
Thermal Resistance (R)
Thermal Conductivity ()
It is important to note that the -value for any given material
varies with temperature.
 pecification of the -value should therefore be referred to
S
as mean temperature and, if possible, to a standardised
method for measurement and calculation.

Solutions for
Thermal Insulation
1: Thermal insulation can be used alone where there is no
other demand for the deck and bulkhead.
2: T
 hermal insulation can also be used together with fire insulation or sound insulation.

Floor connection
When making a surface towards the exterior it is necessary
to end the insulation 50 mm above the floor to avoid rising
moisture. This to make sure that condensate from the
bulkhead can be drained away.

When the minimum insulation thickness has been found


for protecting against sound or fire, the thermal transmission (U-value) of this material can be calculated from
the -value. If a higher insulation level is requested the
construction can be improved by adding an extra layer of a
lower density product.
In all cases of insulating towards cold temperatures the wool
must always be covered by a vapour tight surface. This surface
can be aluminium foil or another kind of vapour barrier. The
gaps should be tightly sealed with alu tape.
When adding additional insulation to a fire construction it
should be documented and approved by the local surveyor.

94

In front of the gab, a piece of flat iron can be fit to guide the
condensate to a drain.

Lambda value/ thermal conductivity ()


The lambda() value, also referred to as thermal conductivity,

1m

is a value indicating how well a material conducts heat. It indicates the quantity of heat (W), which is conducted through 1 m2
wall, in a thickness of 1 m, when the difference in temperature
between the opposite surfaces of this wall equals 1 K (or 1C).
In practice is a numerical value expressed in terms of W/
(mK). The lower the value, the better the insulation property
of the material.

R = U or R = ( W/mK)

The transport of thermal energy through a structure is expressed by a coefficient, U (Thermal transmittance coefficient).
It represents the flow of heat (in W) through 1 m2 of a structure,
when the difference between the two surrounding temperatures is 1 K (or 1C). The thermal transmittance coefficient is
expressed in W/(m2K). The lower the coefficient, the better the
structure insulates.

R value
Thermal resistance, R, is a measure used in a construction.
The R value is the reciprocal value U-value. Increasing the
thickness of an insulating layer increases the R value.

Examples
The steel plate is not taken into consideration due to the low
added value.

Thermal Insulation

Surfaces
There are many reasons for choosing insulation products with facings. In most cases it is done to obtain a vapour barrier, which
prevents formation of condensation on the cold side of a construction. If vapour is the reason for choosing a new surface
ROCKWOOL markets different products with reinforced aluminium foil. In other cases it is necessary to have a better look than the
pure wool; ROCKWOOL markets different surfaces such as glass tissue and glass cloth. If the need is to secure the product then a
surface with wire mesh might be preferable.
rockwool

Plain ROCKWOOL:
This is the basic ROCKWOOL product which is approved and suitable
for almost any purpose. The products are based on stone wool which
can withstand temperature above 1,000C without melting.
wired mat

Wired Mat with wire mesh:


Some of our fire rated constructions are based on Wired Mat and the
wire mesh can form an additional safety to secure the product. Within
technical insulation a Wired Mat is often used for high temperature
applications or if you need to bend the insulation around e.g. a pipe.
wired mat reinforced alu

Wired Mat with reinforced aluminium foil and wire mesh:


This surface has the same properties as the Wired Mat but has further
more the property of securing a dust free surface. Please notice that
the alu foil will be perforated due to the stitching process and therefore not usable as vapour barrier.
reinforced alu (ALU)

Reinforced aluminium foil:


The reinforced aluminium surface will be the best solution if you need
a vapour barrier. The product will secure that no vapour will enter the
product and result in corrosion of steel and damaged wool.

Glass CLOth - 200 g/m2 (GW200) + 400 g/m2 (GW400)

Glass cloth:
This surface has three major properties: impact resistant, dust free
surface and a nicer outlook. This surface will in many cases save the
use of an extra metal cladding as the woven cloth is strong enough to
resist most impact from the surroundings.
glass tissue black (TB)

Black glass tissue:


The thin black tissue is often used in ventilation shafts or behind a
perforated plate as it secures a dust free surface and a nice outlook.

glass tissue Neutral (TN)

Neutral glass tissue:


The thin neutral surface will secure a dust free surface.
The white/transparent look will give a bright surface.

SEAROX acoustic foil

SeaRox Acoustic Foil


A very strong and durable thin 19 PET-film, which is resistant to
oil, water and most other substances expected to be found in
the environment of the engine room. Also the noise absorption
properties will stay at their full capacity (the film is market
as a separate commodity).

Aquaduct - Thermal Insulation


Solutions for Sub-sea Pipelines

Traditional solution;
Aquaduct CL used
for Pipe in Pipe

ROCKWOOLs unique product properties are


also available for thermal insulation of
Sub Sea Pipelines.
Advantages
Resistant to high temperatures
Resilient; good recovery following deformation
Unaffected by welding of field joints
Free from HFCs and other blowing gases
Reliable performance; thermal conductivity cannot degrade
due to loss of entrapped gas
Easy to handle and install
ROCKWOOL insulation is recyclable and its life cycle
analysis proves that it contributes actively to improve the
environment.

Aquaduct CL
Aquaduct CL are special patented ROCKWOOL products
where the vertical direction of the fibres provides an excellent
compression resistance at low thicknesses (down to 10 mm
thickness). The fibres are bonded to a reinforced aluminium
foil outer facing and the product can be supplied with very low
tolerances. In most cases Aquaduct CL will be the optimal
choice for Pipe in Pipe solutions.

Alternative Aquaduct Solutions

Due to the flexibility of the product range of Aquaduct Solutions we have the capability to offer specific solutions to meet
specific demands, regardless of the complexity of Pipe Bundle
configurations. These are some examples of the solutions that
we have previously offered.
ROCKWOOL insulation products can be tailor made for individual projects and purposes. The most typical products are
described below.

Aquaduct Sections
Aquaduct Sections are rigid pre-formed circular units of
ROCKWOOL insulation supplied with or without an outer
covering. Aquaduct is available in almost any combination of
diameter, thickness and length and can be adapted to individual needs and specifications. Aquaduct Sections are the optimal
choice for bigger sizes of pipe.

Health and Safety - Green Passport


Scientific research of man-made mineral fibres goes back to
1930; to the beginning of the production of these fibres, which
has expanded enormously in a wide range of insulation applications since. The growth in the use of mineral fibres - also
known as Man-Made Vitreous Fibres (MMVFs) - has meant
that scientists have needed to describe the effects on public
health. Independent institutes worldwide have, consequently,
been carrying out extensive animal and epidemiological studies of mineral (glass, rock and slag) wool workers for more
than seventy years.
ROCKWOOL Technical Insulation is part of the ROCKWOOL
Group and one of ROCKWOOLs largest R&D projects ever
resulted in the high-alumina low-silica wool generation. This
is a quality wool with higher bio-solubility as a result of its
chemical composition (see box) and thus a wool with an increased safety margin in comparison with traditional mineral
wool. Roxul1000 fibers are world wide exonerated from any
classification. The product quality of this wool is, of course,
consistently high, retaining all technical features.

Green Passport (Hong Kong International Convention)


All ROCKWOOL Technical Insualtion stone wool insulation
materials for the marine and offshore market, produced at any
of the European ROCKWOOL production plants, will NOT be
classified as hazardous materials in relation to the mentioned
IMO resolution guideline A.980(24).
Therefore ROCKWOOL Insulation has no impact on the inventory of hazardous material.
