AP Armafex Pipe

(Tube)

lnsulation is

a black flexible

elastomeric thermal

insulation. The expanded

closed-cell

structure

makes it

an efficient

insulation.

lt is manufactured

without the

use of CFC's,

HFC's

or

HCFC's.

All AP

Armaflex

products

are made with Microban@ antimicrobial

product

protection

for added defense against mold

on

the

insulation.

requirements

The recommended temperature

usage range forAP Armaflex

Pipe lnsulation is -297 F

to +220'F

(-183 C

to +105 C). For

use

on cold

pipes,

thicknesses

have

been calculated

to

control

condensation on the insulation

outer surface,

as shown in

the table

of

thickness

recommendations.

AP Armaflex

Code

(IECC)

and other

building codes.

:lApplication

rl'

:r:' r,,'

AP

Armaflex Pipe

lnsulation in

unslit tubular form

can be slipped

onto

piping

before it is

connected, or it

can be slit lengthwise

and snapped over

piping

already connected. Fitting

covers are

fabricated from

miter-cut tubular

form. ln

all cases, butt

joints

and seams are to be

sealed with one

of

our Armaflex adhesives:

Armaflex

520,520

Black or, where

a

low

VO.C.

adhesive

is

required,

520 BLV 520 Adhesives

are

contact adhesives;

therefore, in

all cases, both

surfaces to be

joined

are coated

with

adhesive.

For

pipes greater

than

6 lPS, use AP/Armaflex

SheeVRoll

insulation.

For

thicknesses

greater than

1 ,

sleeve

the

insulation.

See

technical

bulletin #030 for

additional information.

AP/Armaflex

pipe

insulation is

available in1-1/T wall thicknesses

with 25150 rating for lD

size range from 7/t

to

4'lPS.

AP Armaflex normally requires

no supplemental vapor-retarder

protection

but additional

vapor-retarder

protection

may

be

necessary when installed

on

very-low-temperature

piping

or

exposure to

continually high humidity

conditions.

AP

Armaflex is designed for installation

above

ground.

Outdoors, a weather-resistant

protective

finish is to

be applied

and ArmaflexWB Finish

is recommended.

Armaflex

insulation

products

must be installed

according

to

lnstallation of Armaflex lnsulations

brochure.

Proper installation is required

to

assure Armaflex

insulation

performance.

Notes

O

On

the

heating cycle, AP

Armaflex

Pipe

lnsulation will

withstand

temperatures

as high

as

220'F

(105"C).

520,520 Black

or 520 BLV

Adhesive

may be

used

with

pipe

insulation

applications

up to 220"F

(105.C).

@

At temperatures

below

-20"F

(-29'C),

elastomeric insulation

starts to

become less flexible.

However, this

characteristic does

not

affect thermal efficiency

and

resistance

to water vapor

permeability

of Armaf lex insulation.

.BASED

ON NORMAL DESIGN

CONDITIONS AP

Armaflex

in the thicknesses noted and within the

specified temperature

ranges will

control outer insulation

surface condensation

indoors under. normal design

conditions, a

maximum.severity of

85"F

(29'G)

and 70%

tiH.

Armacell-research

and field

experience

indicate that indoor

conditions

anywhere in

the

United States seldom exceed

this

degree of severity.

*BASED

ON MILD DESIGN

COND|IIONS AP Armaflex in the thicknesses noted and within the specified

temperature ranges

will control

outer insulation surface

condensation indoors

under

mild

design conditions,

a maximum severity of 8O"F

(27"C)

and 50% RH. Typical

of these

Conditions are most

air-conditioned

spaces and arid climates.

*BASED

ON SEVERE DESIGN CONDITIONS

AP Armaflex in the thicknesses noted and wiihin the specified

temperature ranges

will control outer insulation

surface condensation indoors under

severe design conditions, a maximum severity of 90'F

(32'C)

and

8O%

RH.

Typical

of these conditions

are indoor areas in

which excessive moisture is introduced

or

in

poorly

ventilated confined areas where the temperature

may be depressed

below ambient.
