Rockwool Pipe

The Sections are designed for thermal and acoustic insulation of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning pipework operating in the temperature range 0°C to 250°C.

Advantages
- Resilient, high performance barrier provided by one-piece, reinforced foil with integral lap

- Fast and simple installation reduces costs and time on site Installation may be carried out in winter conditions
- Tape requirement reduced
- Limited combustible product with surface finish also complying to Class 0

Description
Rockwool Pipe are pre-formed sections of stone wool insulation. Manufactured pre-slit and provided with a factory applied foil facing complete with integral self adhesive lap. 

Standards and approvals
- Rockwool Pipe are CE marked in accordance with BS EN 14303. For more information please visit www.rockwool.co.uk/DOP

- Rockwool Pipe conform to BS 3958–4,‘Bonded preformed stone wool pipe sections’ and can be used to satisfy BS 5422: ‘Method for specifying thermal insulating materials..........’.

- The product has been authorised for use in LUL surface and sub-surface premises when installed in accordance with this data sheet – please refer to the LUL Approved Product Register website www.LU-apr.co.uk for specific details.

Density
The nominal density is not less than 120 kg/m3.

Performance
- Fire: Rockwool Pipe are rated Euroclass A2L-s1,d0 and Class 0 as defined within the Building Regulations.
- Water Resistance: Rockwool Pipe are water repellent. However, when used or stored in the open, the insulation should be protected with a waterproof covering. When used to insulate cold pipes, the joints should be sealed with foil tape to prevent condensation.
- Specific heat: The specific heat of ROCKWOOL stone wool is 0.84 kJ/kgK (nom.) at 20°C. 

- Service Temperature: Rockwool Pipe are used to insulate pipes operating at temperatures in the range 0 to 250°C. The sections are used to insulate against frost damage. For hot pipes, the limiting temperature of the outer foil face is 80°C to maintain facing bond strength.
- pH Neutrality: ROCKWOOL insulation is chemically compatible with all types of pipes, equipment and fittings. (Guidance is given in BS 5970 regarding the treatment of austenitic stainless steel pipework and fittings). Stone wool insulation is chemically inert. A typical aqueous extract of ROCKWOOL insulation is neutral or slightly alkaline (pH 7 to 9.5).
- Durability: ROCKWOOL stone wool insulation products have been proven in service for over 60 years, in a wide range of climates and degrees of exposure. ROCKWOOL insulation will generally perform effectively for the lifetime of the building, plant or structure.
- Biological: ROCKWOOL stone wool is a naturally inert and rot-proof material that does not encourage or supportthe growth of fungi, moulds or bacteria, or offer sustenance to insects or vermin.

Typical specification
Pipes to be insulated with ...... *mm thick ROCKWOOL Pipe, having a nominal density not less than 120 kg/m3 , with a factory applied facing which is a laminate of close mesh reinforcement between two layers of foil including integral lap for fixing. The whole to comply with BS 5422:2009 and BS 5970 water vapour permeance and Building Regulations Class O definition. Fixing to be in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions, by peeling protective tape from self-adhesive lap and pressing lap smoothly over joint. Where adjacent Sections abut, approved 75 mm wide aluminium tape to be used to maintain integrity of the vapour barrier. For external applications please see HVAC Specification Detail Guide for external finishes.
 

Handling
Rockwool Pipe are easy to cut to any shape with a sharp knife. When stored outside, avoid contact with the ground and cover with a securely anchored waterproof sheet.

Maintenance
Once installed Rockwool Pipe shouldn’t require any maintenance.
