Lagging and Insulation (A8804)

This comprehensive inter active multimedia-training program consists of four lessons that train participants to select, measure, cut, and install piping properly.

Prerequisites

This lesson is designed for participants familiar with the proper use of hand tools and precision measuring instruments. A familiarity with pipefitting materials, layout, tubing, threaded pipe and the preparation for piping installation is also required.

Description

This lesson shows and explains the procedures for measuring and cutting block insulation for piping elbows and flanges, for installing the insulation, and for covering the insulation. The lesson includes information on the sequence in which the steps should be performed and the materials needed for each step.

Objectives

Calculate the size of each piece of insulation needed for a piping elbow. Mark and cut block insulation for a piping elbow. Install block insulation on a piping elbow. Cement the piping elbow insulation. Measure the amount of insulation needed for a flange. Score flange insulation so it will fit snugly on the flange. Install block insulation on a flange. Cement the flange insulation. Measure and cut the insulation cloth covering. Install cloth covering on piping elbows and flanges.
