8.O ACOUSTIC INSULATION

8.1 This section defines the spec¡al requirements of acoustic insulation for
pipes, valves and flanges with the a¡m of reducing the no¡se emitted. The
specification defines minimum acoustic insulation in terms of the
requirements for insertion loss.

8.2 lnsertion loss is the d¡fference in the sound pressure level at a given point
near the pipe (not influenced by other noise sources) before and after the
applicatidn'of the acoust¡c iniulation. lt is not appropriate to express
insertion loss as a slngle number, such as db(Al, because it varles with
frequency. lt is therefóre quoted as decibels in octave bands.

â. Hard Set Cements, Armour Set BD6 or Equivalent

An asbestos-fiee composition consisting of Portland cement

reinforced with long-grâded glass sllk fibres. lt provides a low-
cost protective coàtiñg with a hydraullc set and glves a high
degrde of mechanical [rotection. lt should be used for seallng
enãs of plpe runs at flanges (in hydrocarbon service even where
-
the flarigàs are being insulatedl, and shall be used over
mattresses on heat exchanger end covers, pumps, etc.

b. Sheeting Sealants

For sealing joints in metat sheeting, mast¡c s.ealants such as

Foster Ehõtõlar Metal 95-44, or equivalent shall be used.

c. Bandages

These shall be used in areas partlcularly prone to ¡ngress of fluids

into lnsulatlon, e.g., pipe ends over armour $et or sheeting in
below grade Iagged drain lines. An example with good fluid
resistant propert¡bs is Evode Rok'Rap cement bandage.

10.2.1 Personnel protect¡on is required where the non-lnsulated wall

operating temperature is higher than 70oC and within reach of
plant personnel.

10,2.2 Personnel protection by means of insulation is not preferred on

piping and equipment operating at temperatures below l2OoC or
used only intermittently as they are vulnerable to severe
corrosion.

10.2.3 lf personnel protection is req uired, consideration should first be

given to the use of expand ed metal s cages (see
