Insulation in General
The installation of insulation material can be done in different PREPARATION
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:
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 con-
structions the position of pins must follow the official drawings.
CUTTING

to use an electrical saw. This will ensure a good and angular surface

VAPOUR BARRIER
In rooms where vapour will enter the insulation as a reason of tem-
perature/ 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:

Make sure that there is no grease, oil or dirt on the surface before

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.

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).

Penetrations
Penetrations of fire protection

When pipes, ducts or other go through a bulkhead or deck
it is called a penetration. There are special rules regarding
insulation when the decks or bulkheads with fire class are
penetrated.
The pipe going through a fire classed structure must be

made of steel and must have a length of minimum 900
mm. IMO suggests to use min. 450 mm on each side of the
construction.
The min. 900 mm insulation must have the same insulation

class weight as the structure that is penetrated.

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 con-
tinues 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 The benefits of correct thermal insulation for piping include:

Insulation with
Pipe Section
Generally, the best insulation is achieved by using
ROCKWOOL Pipe Section. The Pipe Sections can be used
up to max. service temperatures of 620°C acc. to EN 14707.
Facing max. 80°C. 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.
Their excellent fit and high compression resistance mean

that Pipe Sections can be applied in a single layer with-
out 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.
Spiral binding must be per section (i.e. tied off at each end
of each pipe section).
Multiple Layers
Where there is a requirement for more than one layer of

Pipe Section, it is recommended that both layers should be
banded to ensure a consistently tight fit of the insulation.
The outer layer(s) of the section should be applied with

staggered joints, both laterally and longitudinally.
83
Cut pipe section into segments
with a ROCKWOOL knife
Elbows/Bends
To form insulated elbows with Pipe Section, the section is

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.
Any minor gaps between segments can be filled with pieces

of ROCKWOOL insulation.
Insulation with
SeaRox Lamella Mat
SeaRox LM 900 consists of stone wool lamellas placed
edgeways, the majority of the fibres being perpendicular to
the facing. The SeaRox Lamella Mat can be used up to max.
service temperatures of 250°C. Facing max. 80°C.
Due to the alignment of the ROCKWOOL fibres in SeaRox

Lamella Mat, it has a high resistance to compression. It is
suitable for applications where there is a requirement for:
Compression resistance
Possible mechanical impact
Operational vibration loads
The surface finish on the SeaRox Lamella Mat, should be

taped at all joints.
The mats are secured with steel banding.

Insulation with

situations where the use of Pipe Sections is difficult or
impossible:

be filled with loose ROCKWOOL.

nally staggered joints and where applicable, with staggered

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 hu-
man hearing range. The weighting procedure is standardized
in ISO 717-1 for the sound reduction of airborne noise.
Rw , R’w: weighted sound reduction index, dB
R’w (dB) is the weighted apparent sound reduction index in

Dynamic Stiffness
The dynamic stiffness is an important parameter when opti-

mising 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 stiff-
ness also called compression strength.

Thermal and Comfort
Insulation
The requirements of the indoor climate and comfort have
become more stringent during the recent years. The insula-
tion 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 (λ)
It is important to note that the λ-value for any given material

varies with temperature.
pecification of the λ-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 Floor connection
other demand for the deck and bulkhead. When making a surface towards the exterior it is necessary
to end the insulation 50 mm above the floor to avoid rising
2: Thermal insulation can also be used together with fire insu- moisture. This to make sure that condensate from the
lation or sound insulation. bulkhead can be drained away.
When the minimum insulation thickness has been found

for protecting against sound or fire, the thermal trans-
mission (U-value) of this material can be calculated from
the λ-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.

Thermal Calculations
1m 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 indi-
cates 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 1°C).
1m In practice  is a numerical value expressed in terms of W/
(mK). The lower the  value, the better the insulation property
of the material.
Examples at 10°C
tK (t-1)K Steel:  = 50 W/mK
Concrete:  = 1.6 W/mK
Glass:  = 1.1 W/mK
Wood:  = 0.12 W/mK
 = W/mK
ROCKWOOL:  = 0.035 W/mK
Most materials will increase in  at rising temperatures.
U value
The transport of thermal energy through a structure is ex-
U = W/m2K pressed 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 tempera-

U= tures is 1 K (or 1°C). The thermal transmittance coefficient is
Thickness expressed in W/(m2K). The lower the coefficient, the better the
structure insulates.
u
R value
1 Thickness(m) Thermal resistance, R, is a measure used in a construction.
R = U or R =  ( W/mK) 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.

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 1,000°C 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 there-
fore 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

A very strong and durable thin 19 μ 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

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 ap-
plications 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 stud-
ies 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 ROCKWOOL’s 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 in-
creased safety margin in comparison with traditional mineral
wool. Roxul®1000 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)
