1. Insulation work on industrial plant – ancilliary work – calculation 
 O9/2008 approved as a current document 
This paper proposes a measurement method for pipes and equipment that are/are to be insulated. It provides an inventory of calculation bases for the measurement of all elements of which the insulation of industrial plant consists including:
- Pipes and ducts
- Distributors and collectors
- Appliances, vessels and columns
- Caps and dome ends

2. Rules for carrying out thermal insulation work – hot

4. Working manual : system for measurement and recording of industrial insulation cladding 
   02/1995 under review
This manual creates a system of measurement for sheet metal preparation and assembly for cladding pipes, fittings, vessels and tanks in industrial installations.

5. Problems with associated with the warranty of specified surface temperatures 
UNDER REVIEW: 09/2008 approved as a current document
This paper highlights the problems associated with warranting surface temperatures with theoretical calculations as the surface temperature is dependant on a number of physical parameters that cannot be calculated or estimated with the necessary degree of certainty.

6. High profitability through ecologically based insulation thicknesses 
  09/2008 approved as a current document
This paper shows that if insulation thicknesses are increased beyond the optimum ‘economic thickness’ to meet an ‘ecological’ standard, the pay back period is only marginally increased particularly on larger bore pipework.

7. Heat insulation of refrigerated premises and buildings – technical clauses
09/2008 approved as a current document
This paper provides technical clauses that define the heat insulation works of refrigerated premises and buildings. They give instructions concerning the materials and products required and corresponding rules for installation.

8. Principles of cold insulation 
  09/2008 approved as a current document
This paper discusses the prime requirement to minimise risk of moisture entering cold insulation systems and how to achieve this by use of an efficient vapour retarder and closed cell insulation effectively bonded together.

9. Prevention of corrosion on insulation cladding  
  05/2007 approved as a current document
This paper explains the nature of and mechanism for metal corrosion. It considers the relative corrosion risks for the various metal traditionally used for insulation claddings and their fixings and considers strategies to minimise corrosion.
 
10. Corrosion under insulation: Problems and solutions
  09/2008 approved as a current document
This paper considers the factors that can cause the corrosion under insulation that can lurk undetected with disastrous consequences. It explains separately how the designer and the insulation contractor can play their part in preventing this. It goes on to give practical guidance for effective insulation work and finally provides pointers to what the operator should consider to control deterioration of the insulation system.

11. Problems of thermal stress in metal reinforcements of large dimensional objects with elevated service temperatures 
  09/2008 approved as a current document
This paper explains the problems caused by the reinforcing stiffeners required on hot large dimensioned ducts particularly found in power stations. The temperature differentials between the inner and outer edges of the stiffeners can lead to cracking of welded seams. It explains the considerations needed to calculate the appropriate insulation thickness to maintain the maximum admissible temperature differentials.

12. Design of cold insulation to prevent formation of condensation 
 09/2008 approved as a current document
The most frequent reason for cold insulation is to prevent condensation on the insulation cladding surface. The paper provides a checklist of the information needed to design effective cold insulation systems whether provided by client or contractor.

13. Preventive fire protection in buildings
 Part 1 Insulation works / executive directions
 Part 2 Guidelines for executions

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since 1970 FESI is the independent European Federation representing the insulation contracting sector. FESI promotes insulation as one of the best, the most cost effective and sustainable manner to save energy. FESI represents the insulation associations from 16 European countries who's members are active in insulation for industry, commercial building sectors, ship insulation, soundproofing, fire protection etc.

FESI represents more than 3.300 insulation contracting companies with around 47.500 employees.
