Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONA committee of ASTM International initiated this guide to improve industry-wide understanding ofthe components in an insu
3、lated piping system that affect the installed cost of insulating the system. Themethod of measurement standard used as a bias for this guide is the National Commercial andIndustrial Standards.2ASTM International defines a guide as a series of options or instructions that does not recommenda specific
4、 course of action. A guide only suggests a course of action. Its purpose is to offer guidancebased on a consensus of viewpoints, but not to establish a fixed procedure. A guide is intended toincrease the awareness of the user to available techniques in a given subject area and to provideinformation
5、from which subsequent evaluation and standardization can be derived.It is the intention that this guide will help gain wider acceptance and understanding of the conceptsin the MICA standard.1.

The components should be categorized bypipe size, type of insulation system, insulation thickness, andpressure rating, if n
16、ecessary. Table 2 may be used as a checklistto assist in the categorization.6.4 The method of pricing (unit price per component orfitting factors) for each category will be determined by theterms of a request for quotation or commercial contract.However, users of this guide must be aware that select
17、ion ofelements to be counted, categories, and method of measuringpipe, have a direct bearing on the final total price. Knowledgeof this fact is critical to the selection of the most qualifiedinstaller.6.5 For a unit price contract, each component shall have itsown table categorized by pipe size, typ
18、e of insulation system,insulation thickness, and pressure rating, if necessary.7. Piping Components7.1 Table 2 lists a sample of components which affect thecost of insulation on a piping system. The “Note” column isused when additional information is required to explain acomponent as it generally ap
19、plies to the insulation industry.7.2 Table 2 may be used as a checklist when choosing whichcomponents will be counted and when determining difficultyfactors. However, for inclusion in contract or request for quotedocuments, a summary similar to Appendix X1 may be used.8. Industry Examples8.1 Example
20、s of how components are categorized and madepart of a unit price contract are shown in Appendix X1 andAppendix X2. These examples provide a range of possibilities.8.2 Examples of unit pricing by component are shown inAppendix X3. One of these schedules, fitting factors, ormultipliers will be require
