performance and the requirements given herein shall be regarded as the minimum acceptable. The
Contractor shall ensure that all work is carried out in accordance with the best practices of
insulation application with the minimum of waste and debris and the final job shall present a neat,
efficient and workmanlike appearance.
5.1.2 All hydrostatic tests on piping and equipment, including steam tracing systems, shall be carried out
before insulating material is applied. The Contractor shall only commence insulating those
sections of the plant that have been specifically released for such work. Subject to PetroVietnam

that all loosely adhering scale and dirt is removed by an appropriate method that does not scar,
scour or damage the metal surface.
5.1.4 Insulated carbon, low alloy and 300 series stainless steel piping and equipment require protective
coatings as specified in Project Standard 8474L-000-JSD-2310-001. Where coatings are applied

its protective cover shall be adequately protected from damage, rain, and contamination by oils,
spent welding rods, paint etc.

equipment, pipe or structural members shall be maintained. Contractor shall ensure that where
insulation is shop applied, to ens ure this minimum clearance is maintained.
5.1.14 Where voids occur in the insulation they shall be filled with suitable fibrous loose fill material.
Loose fill used for shop applications shall be protected from possible damage during subsequent
lifting and transporting.
5.1.15 Contractor shall define where expansion joints are necessary to accommodate any movement from
thermal expansion. Where installed, expansion joints shall comprise of compressible mineral fibre
of sufficient density and composition to operate efficiently as both insulant and expansion facility
at the given operating temperatures.
5.1.16 Insulation supports shall not project proud of the insulation outer surface and shall be given
sufficient coverage of insulating material to avoid hot spots on the insulation metallic weatherproof
cover at support positions.
5.1.17 Weatherproof jacket shall be designed and installed to shed water at all times. Flat horizontal
surfaces are not acceptable. Contractor shall ensure that any shop applied insulation is designed to
avoid flat surfaces when equipment is installed at site.
5.2 Piping

turned into the insulation mater ial.
5.2.5 Each layer of insulation on piping requiring two or more layers shall be secured in exactly the same

and damage of the insulating material. At these positions the insulation shall be straight edged and
sealed against water ingress with a metal closure.
5.2.11 Insulation at solid welded or clamped pipe supports shall be cut and shaped to fit around the

supports designed to allow the pipe to move independently shall be insulated to allow movement to
take place without damage to the insulating material.
5.2.12 Traced pipe and fittings shall be insulated with oversized insulating sections to allow
accommodation of both parent pipe and tracer without damage or deformation of the insulation.

bands with the edge of the sheets with the longer dimension applied around the circumference of
the equipment insulation.
5.3.19 The panels shall have a minimum of 75mm overlap on both longitudinal and circumferential edges,
both overlaps being finished with a simple ball swage and rendered water tight with a metal seam
sealer applied between overlapping metal edges.
5.3.20 Horizontal overlaps shall be secured with No. 8 x 15mm long, self tapping screws set in the overlap
at 75mm intervals, and shall be so arranged that staggered bands of panelling encircle the
equipment. Vertical overlaps shall not be screwed.
5.3.21 The metal protective finish shall be banded and sealed at 450mm centres ensuring that one band is
set over each vertical overlap.
5.3.22 The insulated heads of vertical and horizontal equipment shall be fabricated from flat metal in an
"orange peel" construction with all radial seams overlapping a minimum of 50mm and secured with
self tapping screws at 75mm centres. All overlaps shall be ball swaged and be rendered water tight

5.3.23 Projections from the heads shall be sealed using metal flashings neatly cut to fit around the
projections and extending over the jacket for a minimum of 75mm. The seal between flashing and
jacket shall be weatherproofed with self tapping screws and seam sealing mastics.
5.3.24 Insulation on bottom heads of fully skirted equipment does not require weatherproofing, only
temporary shop insulated covering in accordance with paragraph 5.3.10.
5.3.25 Heads of equipment 550mm OD and smaller shall be finished and waterproofed with square ended
fabricated covers.
5.3.26 In shop insulated items at temporary shop supports, the insulating system shall be terminated and
sealed, and closure pieces shall be designed and fabricated to fit the open positions. Designs of
closure pieces shall take into account the insulating requirements together with support and
securing and the necessity of maintaining waterproofing and weatherproofing after closures are in
place. Contractor shall submit details of these closure pieces for PetroVietnam review and
approval.
