SCOPE OF WORK FOR THERMAL INSULATION (BOQ SLNO. 1 TO 5), GI SHEET CLADDING

(BOQ SLNO. 6): supply and erection of thermal insulation and GI sheet

cladding for pipe lines, ducts and other equipments etc., in CO&CCP at

various evaluations & locations.

The process of steel making in an integrated steel plant like Visakhapatnam

Steel Plant requires utilities like steam, Dematerialized water, chilled

water, feed water, fuel oils etc. All these utilities are supplied to

various consumers from the generation plant/storage unit through yard

piping and normally either at a higher temperature or at a lower

temperature than the ambient air temperature. These pipelines need to be

thermally insulated to prevent heat loss to the environment or heat gain

from the environment to effectively serve the purpose for which they are

meant.

Besides the above utility pipe lines, there are numerous other equipments

like Fuel Oil Tanks, Product Tanks, Tar tanks, Pitch over head tanks,

Bunkers, Cyclones, Compensators, Valves, Electro Static Precipitators,

Steam Boilers, Flue Gas Ducts, De-aerators, Gas lines, Reactors,

Saturators, Heat Exchangers etc., installed at various units of steel

making and used in the process of iron and steel making. All these

equipment need to be thermally insulated to maintain the process

parameters, prevent heat loss and maintain the desired thermal balance for

smooth and efficient functioning of the various units of the plant.

The application of thermal insulation involves the following steps:

Preparation of insulation mattresses with loose mineral/ slag/ rock wool

with Galvanised Iron mesh on both sides. The thickness of the mattresses

depends upon the application i.e. the temperature of the medium in the

equipment/ pipelines.

Application of the insulation on the bare surface of the equipment/ pipe

lines with the help of lugs to be welded on the equipment binding wire,

stitching wire and securing them onto the equipment/ pipe lines.

Cladding of the insulation with Galvanised iron sheets is carried out to

protect the insulation from climatic conditions like rain, wind etc., The

G.I sheets are cut to the required size and fabricated depending upon the

application, firmly fixed and secured over the insulation with G.I screws

and G.I straps.

In VSP the thermal insulation and cladding jobs are executed throughout the

plant and is basically maintenance oriented. Thermal insulation and

INSULATION REQUIREMENTS: The thermal insulation shall be applied on the

outer surface of piping, valves, fittings and equipments as specified

herein to prevent abnormal loss of heat from all expected parts and to

limit the surface temperature within 10 deg C in excess of the ambient

temperature for the safety of operating personnel.

General Requirements of Application:

The insulation application procedures will be as per Indian Standard

specification IS 7413 or British Code of Practice CP 3005.

Prior to applying insulation, the surface to be insulated shall be made

clean and dry i.e. from dirt and grease.

Welding on equipments and piping shall be carried out only with Site

Engineer's written approval.

Before applying insulation, the contractor must ascertain from site

engineer whether all instruments have been installed in proper places on

piping and equipments.

The contractor shall not apply any insulation until pressure testing of

piping and equipments has been made and clearance is given by the site

engineer. In certain cases the site engineer may give directions to

insulate piping, leaving welded joints exposed for hydraulic test. The

contractor shall subsequently close these surfaces with insulation after

the hydraulic test is conducted. The flanges in no case shall be

permanently covered until, the piping in which they are located are

tightened and tested.

Where protective covering to be provided is of aluminium, corrosion shall

be prevented by carefully avoiding permanent contact of aluminium cladding

with copper, copper alloys, tin lead nickel, nickel alloys including monel

metal. Where cladding is attached to carbon steel or low alloy steels, the

steel shall be first painted with zinc chromates and then painted with

aluminium painting. Use of lead base paints shall be avoided for this

purpose.

Piping Insulation Application Procedure:

For insulation of horizontal piping with performed pipe sections, the same

will be applied over the pipes and held in position with binding wires

provided circumferentially at 300 mm intervals.

Format insulation on horizontal piping, the required length and shapes

shall be cut out from the blankets and wrapped on the piping and held in

position with proper support and by fastening the binding wire

circumferentially at 300 mm intervals. Adjacent pieces shall be well

fitted to each other and shall be laced together with soft lacing wire.

The ends of the binding wire shall be lightly twisted together, heat over

and pressed into the insulation.

Performed insulation on vertical or near vertical piping must be supported

in position by means of metal rings or studs at intervals not greater

than 3.6m and also immediately above each expansion break in the

insulation. The support attachment may be welded or clamped to the pipe,

subject to approval of the site engineer.

The mat insulation for vertical for vertical piping shall also be suspended

from above, and for this purpose, securing attachments such as metal rings

or studs must be used. The confining wire netting of the mattress shall be

anchored to the securing attachments by means of wire ties.

Pipe Insulation shall be cut to fit neatly around anchors and supports. On

horizontal lines, which are supported directly on pipe racks, the

insulation, such as pipe clamps, supports of small piping, instrumentation

take off etc., shall be covered to the thickness as that of the adjacent

insulation except for hanger rods.

For outdoor location and where necessary the hanger rod protrusion shall be

suitably shielded.

that direct metal contact between the insulated surface and outer metal

cladding is reduced to minimum. All joints shall be vapour tight and shall

be able to accommodate thermal movement.

Metal Jacketing on piping shall be screwed with self tapping screws on

200 to 300 deg. C 3.5 M

301 to 400 deg. C 3.0 M

Above 400 deg. C 2.0 M

All joints in the insulation shall be staggered.

For multiple layers of insulation the different layers shall be applied so

that the butt joints of one layer cannot coincide with those of other

layers. At the joint of each layer of insulation, loose insulation

material shall be packed firmly.

Equipment insulation application procedure:

For vertical equipment and shells insulation support shall be welded to the

vessel to support vertical insulation. The material of the supports shall
