1、Designation: C592 12Standard Specification forMineral Fiber Blanket Insulation and Blanket-Type PipeInsulation (Metal-Mesh Covered) (Industrial Type)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C592; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,
2、in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers the composition, dimensions,and physical properties of
3、mineral fiber (rock, slag, or glass)metal mesh covered and industrial type blanket and blanket-type pipe insulation (typically on 24 in. (610 mm) diameters orlarger). Its use is for cooled surfaces at temperatures operatingbelow ambient to 0F (18C) and on heated surfaces onexpansion joints to large
4、diameter vessels and tanks operatingat temperatures up to 1200F (649C). Specific applicationsoutside the actual use temperatures shall be agreed uponbetween the manufacturer and purchaser.1.2 For satisfactory performance, properly installed protec-tive vapor retarders or barriers shall be used on be
5、low ambienttemperature applications to reduce movement of moisture/water vapor through or around the insulation towards thecolder surface. Failure to use a vapor retarder can lead toinsulation and system damage. Refer to Practice C921 to aidmaterial selection. Although vapor retarder properties are
6、notpart of this specification, properties required in SpecificationC1136 are pertinent to applications or performance.1.3 The orientation of the fibers within the blanket isprimarily parallel to the heated surface. This specification doesnot cover fabricated pipe and tank wrap insulation where thein
7、sulation has been cut and fabricated to provide fiber orien-tation that is perpendicular to the heated surface.1.4 This standard does not purport to provide the perfor-mance requirements of hourly-rated fire systems. Consult themanufacturer for the appropriate system.1.5 See Supplementary Requiremen
8、ts for modifications tosections in this standard only when specified by purchaser inthe contract or order from the U.S. Military specificationsutilized by the U.S. Department of Defense, Department of theNavy, and the Naval Systems Command.1.6 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded
9、as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of
10、this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory requirements prior to use.2.

25、rt of the product.6.2 Facings:6.2.1 Types of facings for one or both sides of blanket unitsshall be specified. When both sides are to be faced, units arepermitted to have the same or different types on the two sides.6.2.1.1 The user of this specification is advised that themaximum use temperature of
26、 some facings and adhesives willbe lower than the maximum use temperature of the insulation.For example, usually galvanized hexagonal wire-woven net-ting and tie wires or stitching perform well under continuousexposure to temperatures up to 392F (200C). Exposure totemperatures above this limit will
27、cause the outer free zinclayer to peel. Though there are potential or occasional concernsfor corrosion conditions at various temperatures, galvanizedwire, stitching, or facings are not recommended for tempera-tures above 500F (260C). In addition, the user of thisspecification shall ensure that suffi
28、cient insulation thickness isinstalled so that none of the accessory items (facings, adhesive,coatings, and lagging) are exposed to temperatures above theirmaximum use temperature. As a general rule, Practice C680shall be used to determine surface temperatures.)6.2.2 Standard Types of Metal Mesh Use
