Q

What is the purpose of moisture barriers?

A

To prevent chemical attack at the metal insulation interface.

33
Q

What is a muffle jacket?

A

A cladding material that has an inside rubber liner added to lower sound levels.

34
Q

Pressed elbows fit nominal pipers ranging in which sizes?

A

1” ti 36” inside pipe size (IPS)

35
Q

What is the most common finish used in cladding and lagging?

37
Q

What is the advantage of using a corrugated finish instead of a smooth finish?

A

They are stronger and more scratch/dent resistant than the smooth finish.

38
Q

What are corrugated sheets usually used for?

A

To protect equipment and insulation in abusive areas.

39
Q

What finish is not commonly used in cladding and lagging?

A

Corrolon

40
Q

What is the advantage of using a corrolon finish?

A

It is the strongest and therefore the most scratch/dent/resistant of all the finishes.

41
Q

Which finish in cladding and lagging has a rough, bumpy appearance, which adds to its ability to resist scratching and denting?

A

Stucco embossed finish

42
Q

When are gore elbows mainly used in cladding and lagging?

A

On large mitered elbows, sweeps, or where it is difficult or impractical for you to use pressed elbows.

43
Q

What is the advantage of using pressed elbows in cladding and lagging?

A

You are able to fabricate the elbows in a shop off-site

44
Q

What is the disadvantage of using pressed elbows in cladding and lagging?

A

They take longer to install than pressed elbows.

45
Q

What are the two main types of end caps used in cladding and lagging?

A

The crimp type end cap and the lock form type end cap

46
Q

What do you use in cladding and lagging when you cut the insulation back at a 45 degree angle to accommodate the removal of bolts on flanges or valves, or to allow access to equipment?

A

You use metal bevels to cover the ends of the insulation

47
Q

What are used to support the banding between the sheets used in cladding and lagging and to prevent them from sliding to become uneven?

A

Tear drops

48
Q

What is used on piping or equipment in order to fasten the cladding to the insulation?

A

Banding

49
Q

What are used with banding in cladding lagging?

A

Clips

50
Q

What widths and styles do the the clips typically come in when used with banding in cladding and lagging?

A

1/2” to 3/4” widths, and come in the wing seal type or the crimp type.

52
Q

Expansion springs are used with any common width of banding at a maximum of one spring for every ___ of banding?

Q

What are permanent mechanical fasteners made from either stainless steel or aluminum?

A

Should be placed on the concealed side of the pipe

69
Q

When referring to pipe sized in cladding and lagging, they refer to the ___ diameter of the pipe. This dimension is also known as what?

A

Inside diameter of the pipe and is known as the callout size.

A

The square method

71
Q

When laying out a bevel using the square method, what 3 pieces of info do you need?

A

The outside diameter of the pipe, the outside diameter of the insulation, and the amount of crimp

72
Q

What end cap is generally used on larger projects where more stability is required?

A

The lock formed end cap
