This guide lists ASTM, federal and military specifications that pertain to the thermal insulation industry. It encompasses both industrial and commercial mechanical insulations as well as building envelope and fire resistance insulations. Related application and finishing accessory materials also are included. Some government construction agencies (General Services Administration, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Department of Defense, Corps of Engineers, etc.) issue specifications or standards that designated insulation materials. This guide is intended to serve the limited purpose of describing, in a general way, the specifications and standards so designated. It should be kept in mind that the materials listed in this guide are subject to change, as are the specifications and standards themselves. This guide organizes each specification by type (ASTM, federal, or military), number and title, and description of its scope. NIA Associate Members that manufacture products that conform to the referenced specification are listed below each specification.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Do not rely upon the guide to determine whether a product meets contract specifications or to obtain approvals under purchase orders or contracts. Those types of determinations must be made by careful examination of the contract specifications, the manufacturer's literature and the provision of the government specification or standard referred to in the contract documents. For specific product information and specifications compliance, consult the particular manufacturer.<\/p>\n<h3>NACE International<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/store.nace.org\/sp0198-2016\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NACE SP0198<\/a>, \"Standard Recommended Practice, Control of Corrosion Under Thermal Insulation and Fireproofing Materials\u2014A Systems Approach\".<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nfpa.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NFPA<\/a>, 2002.

Each video is generic in nature, incorporates consensus recommendations of the sponsoring manufacturers and the applications demonstrated were completed by experienced field mechanics on piping and equipment mockups representing project applications. The videos are a great industry resource for supplementing existing craft training programs, educational programs for new or existing sales, service, and administrative employees, and for indirect users to obtain an overview of application practices for the respective insulation materials. They can be used by contractors, distributors, fabricators, laminators, manufacturers, and their respective customers or other parties interested in mechanical insulation best practices.<\/p>\n<p>Each video is generic in nature and incorporates consensus recommendations of the sponsoring manufacturers. A summary overview of the video content includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Overview\u2014introduction and objective of video series<\/li>\n<li>General service definitions<\/li>\n<li>Finish material overview<\/li>\n<li>General Safety Precautions<\/li>\n<li>General application practices<\/li>\n<li>Inspection and maintenance<\/li>\n<li>Resource and sponsor listing<\/li>\n<li>Specific product information for the respective video\n<ul>\n<li>Product introduction<\/li>\n<li>Insulation application demonstrations<\/li>\n<li>Piping, fittings, equipment, ducts, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Finish (protective jacketing) application demonstrations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The videos are organized by content so you can easily access the specific areas.
