18、 Standard specifies composition, moisture content, physical and chemical requirements for two types of calcium silicate preformed insulation (see clause4). 2 References The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. 3 Definitions For the purposes of
19、this Part of this British Standard, the definitions given in BS874, BS2972, BS3533, BS5422 and BS5970 apply. 4 Classification This standard covers two types of calcium silicate preformed insulation as follows. Type I: slabs, radiused and bevelled lags and pipe sections for use at temperatures up to6
20、50C or such higher temperatures recommended by the manufacturer. Type II: slabs and flat bevelled lags for use up to950C or at such higher temperatures recommended by the manufacturer. 5 Sampling and testing Sampling and testing shall be in accordance with the appropriate clause in BS2972 unless oth
21、erwise stated in this standard. For thermal conductivity determinations a flat slab shall be used for the tests. 6 Composition The material shall be composed predominantly of reacted hydrous calcium silicate reinforced with suitable fibres (see9.2, note2). 7 Moisture content When conditioned at medi
22、um humidity in accordance with40.3 of BS2972:1975, the moisture content of the material shall not exceed7.5% by mass. 8 Physical requirements 8.1 General. In the application of the physical requirements of8.3 to8.6,95% confidence limits shall apply. 8.2 Thermal conductivity. When tested in accordanc
23、e with the appropriate method of test for thermal conductivity given in BS874, at a cold face temperature within the range of10C to50C, the thermal conductivity shall not exceed the values given in Table 1. Table 1 Thermal conductivity values NOTEBS874 requires the test report to state which method
24、of test was employed, the bulk density of the material, the hot face temperature and cold face temperature, the conditioning procedure and the moisture content before and after the test. 8.3 Bulk density. The bulk density of the dry material shall lie within the range: type I:180kg/m 3to240kg/m 3 ;
25、type II:210kg/m 3to280kg/m 3 . 8.4 Flexural strength. The flexural strength shall be not less than: type I:250 kN/m 2 ; type II:250 kN/m 2 . 8.5 Compressive strength 8.5.1 Dry. The reduction in thickness shall not exceed5% under a compressive load of: type I:500kN/m 2 ; type II:550kN/m 2 . The minim
26、um load at onset of disruption 2)shall be: type I:500kN/m 2 ; type II:550kN/m 2 . 8.5.2 Wet. After18 h immersion in water, the reduction in thickness shall not exceed5% under a compressive load of: type I:170kN/m 2 ; type II:170kN/m 2 .

28、ing of thickness versus load, according to2.5.3 b) of BS2972:1975.BS3958-2:1982 2 BSI 07-1999 8.6 Heat stability. When tested in accordance with BS2972 under conditions of soaking heat at increasing temperatures the material shall be deemed suitable for normal use at operating temperatures at which
29、the following requirements are met. a) Maximum linear shrinkage: type I:2% type II:2%. b) Reduction in thickness not exceeding5% under a compressive load of: type I:400kN/m 2 ; type II:400kN/m 2 . c) Minimum load at onset of disruption 3)of: type I:400kN/m 2 ; type II:400kN/m 2 . 9 Chemical requirem
30、ents 9.1 Alkalinity. When tested by the method described in Appendix A the pH value recorded shall be between9.5 and11.0. 9.2 Corrosive attack. The material shall not include significant quantities of substances that will promote corrosive attack on the surfaces with which it is to be in contact. Wh
31、ere necessary, trace quantities of water-soluble chlorides shall be estimated in accordance with section 22 of BS2972:1975. NOTE 1Water-soluble chlorides are normally present in trace quantities in commercial calcium silicates as in most thermal insulating materials. In the presence of moisture and
32、oxygen and under certain adverse metallurgical conditions chloride ions are capable of initiating stress corrosion cracking in susceptible metal alloys such as austenitic stainless steels. It is not practical to indicate a safe upper limit for chloride content since water can leach out soluble chlor
33、ides from substantial volumes of insulating materials and allow them to be concentrated at the metal-insulation interface. In addition, water from outside sources such as the process itself or wind-driven spray can substantially increase the chloride content of the insulation. In conditions potentia
34、lly conducive to stress corrosion cracking, appropriate safeguards should be adopted (see BS5970). Special forms of calcium silicate incorporating corrosion inhibitors are commercially available. NOTE 2Some organic matter may be present either in fibrous form or as a bonding agent. It is suggested t
35、hat the composition of the product be checked with the manufacturer for use in process conditions where organics may present a hazard, e.g.processes involving powerful oxidizing agents or thermal insulation on pipework and plant in a flammable atmosphere. 10 Identification of asbestos-free material
36、10.1 In order to identify those materials which are not subject to control by Government regulations, (see note), asbestos-free calcium silicate preformed insulation, manufactured in accordance with Part2 of this standard, shall be distinctively coloured yellow. The colouring matter shall remain suf
37、ficiently stable and permanent under service conditions to permit the ready identification of the outer surface of the insulation. NOTEGovernment regulations 4)concerning asbestos-containing insulation require that special precautions be observed in order to safeguard the health of individuals who a
38、re handling these materials or who are working in the vicinity. 10.2 Materials which contain asbestos fibre shall not be other than self-coloured. 11 Standard shapes and sizes 11.1 Preformed calcium silicate shall be supplied in the form of flat slabs, bevelled lags, pipe sections or radiused and be
39、velled lags, complying with the following. NOTENot all suppliers provide the full range of standard shapes and sizes listed ina) tod). Conversely other shapes and sizes may be available. Suppliers literature should be consulted for details of the range offered. a) Flat slabs: types I and II Length:6
40、00mm to1000mm Width:150mm to1000mm Thickness:25mm to100mm; b) Pipe sections: type I only Length:914mm Diameter: to fit standard mild steel pipes of external diameter up to329mm Wall thickness:25mm to75mm. c) Flat bevelled lags: types I and II Length:600mm to1000mm Major width:150mm to166mm Thickness

42、 graph obtained from an automatic recording of thickness versus load, according to2.5.3 b) of BS2972:1975. 4) Statutory Instruments 1969, No. 690, Factories, The Asbestos Regulations 1969.BS3958-2:1982 BSI 07-1999 3 11.2 Flat slabs shall be free from warp. Mating faces shall be plane and edges shall
43、 be square to the surfaces and to one another. 11.3 Pipe sections and lags shall be concentric and free from warp. Mating faces shall be plane and ends shall correspond with a plane at right angles to the long axis. 11.4 Bevelled edges of radiused and bevelled lags shall correspond with the radii of
44、 the curved surface to be insulated. 12 Dimensional tolerances The insulation shapes shall be in accordance with the dimensions stated by the manufacturer (or supplier, as appropriate), subject to the following tolerances. a) Slabs and lags Length and width: 3mm Thickness: 1.5mm,+3mm. b) Pipe sectio
45、ns Length:3mm Inside diameter: 0mm,+5mm Thickness (average): 1.5mm,+3mm Uniformity: the local thickness at any point shall not vary from the average thickness by more than3mm. 13 Marking Each package shall be indelibly marked with the following: a) the manufacturers name, mark or symbol; b) the manu
46、facturers type designation and maximum service temperature limit: if the material contains asbestos, this shall be clearly indicated; c) the nominal dimensions; d) the number of this British Standard, i.e.BS3958-2 5) . 5) Marking BS3958-2 on or in relation to a product is a claim by the manufacturer
47、 that the product has been manufactured in accordance with the requirements of the standard. The accuracy of such a claim is therefore solely the manufacturers responsibility. Enquiries as to the availability of third party certification to support such claims should be addressed to the Director, Qu
48、ality Assurance Division, British Standards Institution, Maylands Avenue, Hemel Hempstead, Herts HP24SQ in the case of certification marks administered by BSI or to the appropriate authority for other certification marks.BS3958-2:1982 4 BSI 07-1999 Appendix A Method of test for alkalinity A.1 Prepar
