Rockwool Marine & Offshore (RMO) has for many
years been one of the leading suppliers of insulation
within the shipbuilding industry. As part of a new
strategy within the Rockwool Group and a more glo-
bal strategic approach, world wide sales of insula-
tion for marine and offshore is now part of Rockwool
Technical Insulation (RTI). RTI is one of the biggest
suppliers of thermal and re-resistant insulation
products for technical insulation, and an indepen-
dent entity within the Rockwool Group. More than
ever, we want to market a uniform and transparent
product range throughout the world from the Uni-
ted Kingdom to China.
In the ship building industry, this is crucial. It makes
it easier for you to ensure the right material in your
own country and for your international projects
across borders.

Bridge
At the bridge it is important to secure a
high level of re protection and sound
insulation.
See page 17-44 for A-constructions
See page 69-72 for oating oor
See page 79-83 for sound insulation
2

Corridors
Corridors are part of the emergency
escape routes on a vessel. The numbers
of horizontal re zones passed by the
corridor determine the re insulation
class.
3

Storage and tank rooms
In the boiler room, storage rooms and
tank rooms it is often important to insu-
late surfaces, boilers and pipes.
See page 65 for penetrations
See page 73-78 for technical insulation
4

Engine room
The engine room contains a lot of re
risks so re protection is essential. The
engine room is also source of high and
often disturbing noise. It is often lled
with pipes, tanks, containers and other
equipment where technical insulation
is required. It is important to have the
insulation protected so oil vapour does
not get into the insulation material.
See page 103 for surfaces
5

Control room
In the control room re is to be held out
as long as possible as this is the last
place where all the technical equipment
can be controlled. The sound level needs
to be low, as engine crew has to spend a
lot of time here. It is moreover important
that no vapour gets to the machines and
computers and that the room has a rea-
sonable sound level.
6

Disco
The discothque, cinema and bar areas
onboard cruise ships are big sources of
noise. It is important to have the right
sound insulation around these areas
towards the neighbouring areas.
7

Cabins
On board a passenger ship it is essential
to have the right insulation between the
cabins. It is crucial to have the needed
re protection and it is getting more and
more important to have a high level of
sound and thermal insulation.
8

Stairways
The stairways are part of the emergency
escape routes on a vessel. The numbers
of vertical re zones passed by the stair-
way determine the re insulation class.
9

Galley
In the galley you always have a risk of
re, as you have a mixture of heat and
ammable materials. In this case it is
also necessary to be aware of the facings
as you have oil vapour in the air.
10

Public area
The public area is requiring all kinds of
insulation, depending on the situation.
See page 64 for draught stoppers
See page 87-90 for thermal insulation
11

Offshore
On offshore applications you have more
or less the same conditions as on a ship.
Furthermore you have the risk of hydro-
carbon re and need to protect people
and material from an HC re.

Insulation in General
Fig. 1. Welding of pins to the plate (bulkhead/deck).
As first step the pins must be welded to the plate and stiffener.
Distance between pins should not exceed 300 mm. For fire rated con-
structions the position of pins must follow the official drawings.
Fig.3A. Using an electrical saw to cut large amounts of Rockwool
SeaRox products.
When cutting large quantities of SeaRox insulation it is recommended
to use an electrical saw. This will ensure a good and angular surface
that is easy to tighten against the next Slabs. 2-5 mm oversize
is recommended. The pieces of insulation should be min.150x150 mm.
Fig. 3C. Using a shear to cut Wired Mats
Wired Mats should be cut with a large shear. 2-5 mm oversize is
recommended. The pieces of insulation should be min. 150x150 mm.
Fig. 2. Painting of the plate.
To avoid corrosion the plate can afterwards be painted with anti
corrosion paint.
Fig. 3B. Using a Rockwool knife to cut Rockwool SeaRox Insulation
Rockwool SeaRox insulation can easily be cut with a Rockwool knife
or a similar sharp knife. When the Slabs are cut in 2-5 mm oversize
(depending on density) the optimal tension and tightness can be
obtained when fitting the wool. The pieces of insulation should be min.
150x150 mm
PREPARATION
CUTTING
The installation of insulation material can be done in different
ways. It is up to the insulation contractor to choose the best
way for each application. For re rated constructions the
installation has to follow the ofcial drawings according to
the re test. Drawings can be found on our website,
www.rockwool-rti.com. In the following you will nd
a general description of the way the insulation work can be
done:

Fig. 6 Fixing the insulation
Fix washers on the pins in order to secure fixing of the insulation.
Alternative 1, fig. 4A. Insulation of stiffeners
Depending on the construction it is recommended to start with the
insulation of the stiffeners. First by filling out the space, behind the
stiffener, with SeaRox insulation. The insulation should fit exactly to
the profile structure. Afterwards insulate around the stiffener with the
required thickness of SeaRox insulation.
Alternative 2, fig. 4A. Insulation between stiffeners
Depending on the construction it can be easier to start with insulation
of the plate. Joints must be tight and no air gaps must be found. In
connection with solutions with more than one layer of insulation, the
joints should be staggered by min. 150 mm to ensure that no joints go
straight through both layers.
Alternative 1, fig. 5A. Insulation between stiffeners.
Insulate the plate between stiffeners with SeaRox insulation. Joints
must be tight and no air gaps must be found. In connection with solu-
tions with more than one layer of insulation, the joints should be stag-
gered by 150 mm to ensure that no joints go straight through
both layers.
Alternative 2, fig. 5A. Insulation of stiffeners
Insulate with SeaRox insulation around the stiffener. Fill out the space
behind the stiffener with SeaRox insulation, the insulation should fit
exactly to the profile structure.

Securing the product
When installing the insulation all pieces must be fit firmly with
minimum one pin approx 10 mm longer than the nominal thick-
ness of the insulation. On A-constructions the material has to be
fastened with spring washers.
Different pins
Steel pins are used for steel decks and bulkheads. The steel pins are
coated with copper for corrosion protection. Stainless steel pins with
aluminium tip are used for aluminium constructions. The pins are
normally 3 mm in diameter and can be aquired in different lengths.
Washers
The spring washers used to slide over the pins for securing the insula-
tion should be 38 mm in diameter and of corrosion protected material.
Securing H-constructions
On H-constructions it is some times required that the pins are approx
40 mm longer than the nominal thickness of the insulation and are
bent in different directions to ensure that the wool is secured.
The additional application of wire mesh is not needed when using new
SeaRox H-constructions because the wire mesh is already part of our
Wired Mat. On H-constructions the material has to be fastened with
spring washers.
Covering the steel washers
The washer can be fit with a plastic cap to cover the steel tip and to
create a nice looking surface.

Using tape to ensure an airtight surface between two batts
All joints must be sealed with a tape width of 75-100 mm to ensure
an air tight surface. Make sure that there is no grease on the surface
before the tape is applied. Pins and washers should be taped.
Stacking of Rockwool SeaRox products
The products must not be stacked in heights of more than three
metres.
Do not sit on the Rockwool SeaRox material
The products must at all times during storage remain untouched
and must not be affected by any kind og treading, sitting or any
other similar kind of exposure.
Storage of Rockwool SeaRox insulation
The products must at all times be stored dry indoor in closed ware-
house facilities.
In rooms where vapour will enter the insulation as a reason of tem-
perature/ pressure differences, a vapour barrier is often a demand.
When water vapour is moving from the hot room towards colder
surfaces, it will often lead to problems with corrosion. If it is oil vapour
this will be collected in the wool and endanger the fire properties of
the wool.
To close the surface on the Rockwool SeaRox products there are
several options e.g. reinforced alu foil:
All joints must be sealed with a tape width of 75-100 mm to ensure
an air tight surface.
Make sure that there is no grease, oil or dirt on the surface before
the tape is applied. This will cause the tape to come loose.
Make sure all holes in the surface are closed.
The surface must have a low flame spread approval if it is used
for marine applications.
In order to secure the right conditions for storage of Rockwool
marine and offshore products a special set has of conditions been
prepared, e.g. the products:
Must at all times be stored dry indoor in closed warehouse
facilities.
Must not be stacked in more than two layers when delivered
on pallets.
Must only be stored on the flat side when delivered in packages and
must not be stacked in heights of more than three metres.
Must at all times during storage remain untouched and must not be
affected by any kind of treading, sitting or any other similar kind of
exposure.
Must be transported in closed compartments, e.g. trailers, contain-
ers and other cargo holds in order to avoid exposure to weather
elements and/or condensation etc.

Choosing the Right Product
To nd the correct product it is necessary to know which ap
plication it has to be used for e.g.:
Fire insulation
Sound insulation
Thermal insulation
Insulation of technical installations
Floating oor insulation
Panels
Insulation of sub-sea pipelines
Combinations e.g. re and sound insulation
When the application is known, the requirements for product
characteristics need to be evaluated e.g.:
Fire properties
Sound properties
Thickness
Thermal conductivity
Mechanical strength
In some applications the weight could be of importance. In
such cases the lighter products can be chosen, but it is not
always the lightest solution that gives the best result. The light
products do not protect against noise in the same frequency
band as the more heavy products, so here it is necessary to
know what result is requested in the end.
All Rockwool SeaRox products have good re properties,
but when using the products on ships or offshore rigs it is
necessary to choose the right product fullling the needed
re rating.
Furthermore it can be relevant to evaluate the different so-
lutions with regard to the working and installation method.
Depending on the experience, the labour cost and the prioriti-
sation it might be relevant to include parameters as e.g.:
Easy handling
Less cutting
Fast installation
Labour intensity
0575/year
Rockwool Technical Insulation has a large number of certica-
tes for the different products and applications from classica-
tion companies based on re tests made at IMO approved re
institutes.
When choosing a product it is necessary to choose a product
that is approved by the classication company that has to ap-
prove the application/newbuilding in the end.
Some customers prefer to work with constructions based on
Slabs, securing easy handling of small size and xed products,
others prefer to work with constructions based on Wired Mats.
For some customers it is important to have the best and most
safe solutions typically based on a two layer solution where
other customers tend to focus on easy and fast installation.
Finally, it is important to focus on the right documentation
such as:
Type approvals
Type certicates
When using Rockwool SeaRox insulation onboard a vessel
carrying an EEA ag make sure that the product has the MED
approval symbol (wheelmark).

It is important to make sure that the products and construc-
tions have the right approval needed in the specic project,
e.g. construction approval, non-
combustible approval and low ame spread approval.
Remember to check if the certicate is valid at the time where
the insulation plan is approved by the classication societies.
13
Regulations for Fire Insulation
According to SOLAS
The requirements for materials and constructions to meet
specied standards of safety are normally prescribed by in-
ternational or national laws related to shipping and offshore
installations.
In addition to these regulations classication societies such
as Det Norske Veritas (DNV) and Lloyds Register of Shipping
(LRS) may have additional requirements.
Approvals and Certication
Suppliers of materials and constructions to the
marine and offshore industry must prove that their prod-
ucts, as a minimum, meet the statutory requirements.
The MED directive (EC Council Directive 96/98/EC - Marine
Equipment Directive) has replaced the previous approv-
als from the maritime authorities within EEA countries.
All products supplied to marine carrying EEA ag must be
subject to the MED directive.
MED-certicates are issued by
notied bodies accredited by an
EEA country. Approved products
bear the mark of conformity.
Classication societies issue type approval certicates stat-
ing the permission to use specic materials and construc-
tions together with any relative restrictions.

If there are special circumstances or requirements for spe-
cial details, it may be required to obtain statements from
other authorities.
Approval Requirements
To satisfy the national authorities and classication socie-
ties, materials and constructions must be proven to comply
with the national and international requirements. Tests
have to be done at internationally recognised test labora-
tories.
The tests have to be performed so that the materials or
products are exposed to a re generated under controlled
conditions that simulate as closely as possible a worst case
scenario.
Test Requirements
There are several national and international requirements
regarding the use of materials on ships and offshore instal-
lations. These classications are required to prove combus-
tibility characteristics and include ignition properties, heat
release and development of toxic gases and smoke.
To prove that materials meet the required re technical
classication, tests are carried out at recognised test
institutions according to standardised test methods.
Material Test Methods
Testing of materials re resistance is done according to the
latest FTP code for non-combustibility and where a facing is
applied for low ame spread.
It is important to note that materials which meet the require-
ments for non-combustibility do not have to be tested for other
re technical properties.
All Rockwool A- and H-constructions are tested according
to FTP-code. FTP-code is describing also the thickness of
the test specimen. The decision about the thickness of the
structural part is in responsibility of the ship designer and will
nally be approved by the responsible class society.
Construction Test Methods
Testing of a constructions re resistance (decks, bulkheads,
structural steel, penetrations etc.) is normally carried out in a
standardised test furnace, where the construction specimen
is exposed to a re according to a standardised time/tempera-
ture curve.
SOLAS, Chapter II-2, Regulation 5.3.1:

Use of non-combustible materials
Insulating materials shall be non-combustible,
except in cargo spaces, mail rooms, baggage
rooms and refrigerated compartments of service
spaces. Vapour barriers and adhesives used in
conjunction with insulation, as well as the
insulation of pipe fittings for cold service
systems, need not be of non-combustible
materials, but they shall be kept to the minimum
quantity practicable and their exposed surfaces
shall have low flame-spread characteristics.
14
Class B Fire Divisions
Class B re divisions must be of non-combustible materials
and must prevent the propagation of ames for at least 30
minutes during a standard re test.
The divisions must be insulated so that the average tem-
perature on the unexposed side of the division does not
exceed 140C above the initial temperature.
Furthermore, the temperature at any single point on the
unexposed side must not exceed 225C above the initial
temperature within the time limits.
Class A Fire Divisions
Class A re divisions must be of non-combustible materials
and insulation materials must be re tested at a recognised
institution. They must be sufciently braced and must pre-
vent the propagation of ames and smoke for a minimum of
one hour during a standard re test.
The divisions must be insulated so that the average temper-
ature on the unexposed side of the division does not exceed
140C above the initial temperature.
Class H Fire Divisions
Class H re divisions must be of non-combustible materials
and insulation materials must be re tested at a recognized
institution. They must be sufciently braced and must pre-
vent the propagation of ames and smoke for a minimum of
two hours during a standard re test for a hydrocarbon re.
The divisions must be insulated so that the average tem-
perature on the unexposed side of the division does not
exceed 140C above the initial temperature.

One layer solution
The construction is based on a solution where the
construction is made with one product in one layer.
This leads to faster installation.
Low construction weight
The construction is based on products with a low
density and/or low thickness which lead to low total
construction weight.
Fast installation
The construction is based on Mats which reduce
the cutting especially around stiffeners, and
consequently faster installation time.
Safe solution
The construction is based on a multiple, typical two
layer solution which results in more safe solutions
especially due to staggered joints.
Optimal sound properties
The construction is based on products with higher
density and/or more thickness which result in better
sound properties.
Easy handling
The construction is based on Slabs, where the small
size and xed structure of the products give an easy
handling in respect to cutting and installation.
Rockwool Technical Insulation has made symbols for all
re rated applications explaining the advantages with each

General arrangement prior to testing - blast resistance
- class H

The regulatory requirements for the blast behaviour of
re rated bulkheads are not normally well documented.
It is considered a general requirement that all parts of re
divisions maintain the same re and explosion resistance
and proof of this must be documented through physical
testing.
General arrangement after testing - recommended
design limits

All the above tests were carried out without any significant damage to the insulation material.
According to the Norwegian Fire Research Laboratory (SINTEF) a fire will not affect the fire integrity or stability of the insulation.
Due to the test methods used, SINTEF has assessed the above results to be conservative.

Rockwool, in association with SINTEF (NBL) in Norway, has performed extensive testing on H-rated Rockwool insulation systems,
using controlled gas explosions. The test results below refer to the same insulation construction with various types of wire mesh.

Solas requires that the stiffeners must be insulated*. One way
is to insulate without lling the space behind the stiffeners.
In other situations the insulation can follow the shape of the
stiffener or the void behind the stiffener can be lled
out.
If the stiffener is more than 450 mm wide the insulation can
be stopped at 450 mm. The insulation of stiffeners should be
nally approved by local surveyor.

In most bulkhead and deck constructions stiffeners are used to secure the necessary strength in the construction. In order to
prevent heat transmission it is important to secure the right insulation. In general insulation of the stiffeners must follow the
ofcial drawings as carried out in the re tests.

When two plates are connected in a corner, the heat bridge should always be kept in mind when insulating. The structure
must have insulation so that heat transfer can not occur from one unexposed surface through the structure and onto another
unexposed surface. The heat must always go minimum 450 mm under the insulation before reaching an unexposed surface
(acc. to SOLAS MSC/circ. 1120 annex reg. 9.3.4).
Bulkhead and Deck - Construction details
In connection with insulation it is important to pay special attention to the details related to junctions, corners etc. in order to avoid
potential heat bridges. Below you will nd examples of construction details:
Connections between
A-60 and A-0 construc-
tions should be insulated
by adding a layer of
A-60 insulation on the
A-0 construction in a
minimum width of 450
mm. This is to minimize
the effect of the heat
bridge.
Another alternative to insulate the heat bridge can be done
by installing min. 450 mm* of insulation on the other side
of the construction.
This will reduce the
transferred heat and
thereby minimise the risk
of self ignition inside the
connecting room.

Installation of Surface Steel Plate
A surface protection of sheet metal can be installed in
different ways, depending on the layout of the stiffeners and
the amount of insulation.
It is important to make the xing in a way that minimises the
heat bridges and structural noise transmitted via the hull.

Corrugated Structural Steel
A-60 Fire Rated Constructions
In some projects the standard IMO structural core is replaced
with a light structural core consisting of a corrugated steel
plate.
To ease the insulation Rockwool Technical Insulation has got
an assessment from DBI (Danish Fire Institute) which allows
insulation using our standard re rated constructions without
lling out the corrugation.
The assessments are valid for A-60 re rated constructions
as follows:
SeaRox WM 640, 75 mm, 1 layer
SeaRox WM 620, 45 mm, 2 layer
SeaRox SL 640, 30 mm, 2 layer
SeaRox SL 620, 60 mm, 1 layer
The assessment is provided under the following restrictions:

Draught Stoppers
Draught stoppers are used above ceilings to avoid the spread
of smoke and ames in case of re. Normally the classica-
tion companies request a B-0 re insulation above the ceiling.
This can be made from SeaRox WM 640 or SeaRox SL 620 after
request from the local surveyor or the customer.

SeaRox SL 620, min. 60 mm, with reinforced aluminium foil.

SeaRox SL 620 must be covered with wire mesh. Insulation
xed with 3 mm pins and secured with 38 mm washers.
Installation
Step 1: First the pins are welded vertically to the underside of
the deck in alignment with the required position of the
Draught Stopper.
Step 2: The pins are then bent 90 in a staggered pattern as
shown.
Step 3: The Rockwool product and wire mesh are then pushed
over the pins so that they protrude by a minimum of
25 mm. The insulation is secured by spring steel
washers.
Penetrations
Penetrations through the Draught Stopper are simply made
by cutting out the shape of the penetrating items in the
Rockwool product, for example, pipes, HVAC ducts and cable
racks.

The cut edge of the Wired Mat must t tightly to the edge of
the penetrating item and the slit in the insulation must be
stitched/taped back together using steel wire/alu tape.

This solution can be used for any type of penetration includ-
ing multiple penetrations.

Penetrations
Penetrations of re protection
When pipes, ducts or other go through a bulkhead or deck
it is called a penetration. There are special rules regarding
insulation when the decks or bulkheads with re class are
penetrated.
The pipe going through a re classed structure must be
made of steel and must have a length of minimum 900
mm. IMO suggests to use min. 450 mm on each side of the
construction.
The min. 900 mm insulation must have the same insulation
class weight as the structure that is penetrated.
SOLAS, Chapter II-2, Regulation 9, sec 3:
The duct spool must be insulated with A-rated re
insulation for a distance of either side of the bulkhead
or deck (L1 + L2 = 900 mm)

Fire Protection of
Sprinkler Pipes
New amendment to SOLAS regulation about protection
of sprinkler pipes on passenger vessels
Seen in the light of the increasing sizes of passenger
ships and growing number of passengers, an amendment
to SOLAS regulation Safe return to port is applicable to
all passenger ships built on or after 1st July 2010 stating
that sprinkler pipes on passenger vessels need to remain
operational in case of re.
The amendment is valid for:
All passenger ships of 120 m or more, or...
Having three or more main vertical zones
Applicable also for ROPAX vessels and large offshore
accommodations.
Safe return to port
Regulation 21.4
Wet steel pipes carrying water based liquids and passing through and not serving
spaces affected by a fre casualty are considered to remain operational, provided
they are of substantial thickness (ref. ICLL 66 Reg. 22(3) as interpreted by IACS
UI LL36/Rev.1 paragraph (b)) or insulated to class A-60 and fully welded.
If provided with fttings, they are to be tested according to IACS UR P2.11.5.5.6

Floating Floor Constructions Class A-60
MED-B-7488 includes two different types of A-60 Deck class
Floating Floor constructions.
1) SeaRox SL 480
This solution consists of two layers SeaRox SL 480, each of 30
mm thickness, covered by minimum 2 mm steel plate, spot
welded at c/c 150 mm.
This construction combines the excellent properties of re
protection, noise reduction, high compression strength and
thermal insulation.
The max free area recommended is 8 x 8 m. If larger free
areas are to be made, division at bars should be made. This
allows the insulation to stay in position without the need of
gluing. It is recommended to make full overlap of the two
layers. All joints of the Slabs have to be tight butted joints.
Smaller weld marks, dents, etc. of an approx max diameter of
50 mm and 10 mm height will be absorbed.
If the deck is undulating, an approved self levelling compound
or oor screed will have to be used as rst layer; a re retard-
ant PE compound, cement based ller or similar. If a water
based oor screed or levelling compound is used, it must be
given sufcient time to cure before the oating construction
is installed. It is very important to ensure not to encapsulate
water/moisture, as this will enhance corrosion and limit the
expected life time of the construction.

Steel Deck Plate
The top layer has to be made of minimum one layer of 2 mm
steel plate, according to the re approvals.
Final oor covering has to be decided based upon require-
ments for mechanical strength and oor nish.
As ooring solution, this one is a safe solution, in the sense
that a SeaRox SL 480 of 200 kg/m
3
is very ridged and strong,
and combined with a medium thick steel plate this is normally
adequate for all normal accommodation load up to 40 kN/m
2
.
71
2) SeaRox SL 436
This solution consists of one layer of SeaRox SL 436, 60 mm
thickness, covered by minimum 1.5 + 3 mm steel plate. The
construction gives in addition to the excellent properties of re
protection, noise reduction and thermal insulation, also reduc-
tion of structural noise/vibrations in the steel deck.
SeaRox SL 436 has been designed with focus on the dynamic
stiffness, i.e. best possible noise reduction. Please note that
the compression strength of this solution is lower than the
SeaRox SL 480 solution.
The rst layer of steel plate must be 1.5 mm thick, installed
with 50 mm overlap and secured with pop rivets. The second
layer(top layer) must be 3 mm steel plate with butted joints
and spot welded at c/c 150 mm. Top covering has to be de-
cided based upon requirements for mechanical strength and
nish.
Rockwool Technical Insulation is preferred supplier for many marine
flooring companies. These companies integrate the Rockwool
products in their more sophisticated solutions.

Many of the ooring companies are using Rockwool SeaRox
Slabs in densities of 140 - 200 kg/m
3
, in combination with more
complex top layers. The max load for the complete ooring
construction will depend entirely on the top layer. The load
capacity of the specic construction is to be calculated and
tested by the ooring company.
Rockwool Technical Insulation is preferred supplier for many
dedicated marine ooring companies. These companies then
create more sophisticated solutions for superb noise reduction
in both high and low frequencies.
Note: Deviations from the certified A-60 floating floor construction in
any form, could require new approval by the Class Society or National
Marine Authority.

Technical Insulation
Principally, a thermal insulation structure for piping consists
of an appropriate insulating material, usually covered by
sheet metal cladding. This protects the pipe and the insula-
tion from external inuences such as weather or mechanical
loads.
Spacers are also essential with insulation material such as
wired mats, which do not offer sufcient resistance to pres-
sure to hold the weight of the cladding and other external
loads. These spacers transfer the loads from the cladding
directly onto the pipe to be insulated. In case of vertical pip-
ing, support structures are tted to take on the loads of the
insulation and the cladding. In general, support structures
and spacers form thermal bridges.
HVAC Insulation - Pipes
For the HVAC (Heat Ventilation Air Condition) applications
onboard a ship it is most common to use Pipe Sections or
SeaRox Lamella Mats to insulate the pipes. The aim is to
prevent heat loss in heating systems and warm water supply.
It is necessary to supply heating and warm water also in the
last cabin away from the source.
Airducts
Today, many requirements are made on air ducts. Most
important is that the comfort on board the vessels or plat-
form living quarters is considered and that no compromises
are made to the demands on re safety. In connection with
ventilation of cabins and other rooms it must furthermore be
ensured that no condensation is formed and that the required
temperature is maintained all the time. This is obtained by
using one of the Rockwool Technical Insulation products in
the correct thickness. Thickness calculation program can be
found on our webpage.
To guarantee a correct process cycle, the condition of the media within the pipes must remain within the set limitations (e.g.
temperature, viscosity, pressure, etc.). In addition to the correct isometric construction and fastening of the piping, the piping
insulation also has an important function. It must ensure that heat losses are effectively reduced and that the installation con-
tinues to operate economically and functionally on a permanent basis. This is the only way to guarantee the maximum efciency
of the process cycle throughout the design service life without losses as a result of faults.
The benets of correct thermal insulation for piping include:
Reduction of heat losses
Cost savings
Reduction of CO
2
emission
Frost protection
Process control: ensuring the stability of the process
temperature
Noise reduction
Condensation prevention
(Personal) Protection against high temperatures
Technical Insulation in General
74
Multiple Layers
Where there is a requirement for more than one layer of
Pipe Section, it is recommended that both layers should be
banded to ensure a consistently tight t of the insulation.

The outer layer(s) of the section should be applied with
staggered joints, both laterally and longitudinally.
Insulation with
Pipe Section
Generally, the best insulation is achieved by using Rock-
wool Pipe Section. The Pipe Sections can be used up to
max. service temperatures of 620C acc. to EN 14707. Fac-
ing max. 80C. The Pipe Sections are supplied ready split
and hinged for quick and easy snap-on assembly and are
suitable for thermal and acoustical insulation of pipe work.
Their excellent t and high compression resistance mean
that Pipe Sections can be applied in a single layer with-
out any additional spacers. Consequently the number of
thermal bridges, which have a negative inuence on the
insulation, is greatly reduced.
Banding

Rockwool recommends that the Pipe Section is secured to
the pipe by applying three steel bands per section length,
with the end bands approximately 100mm from the lateral
joints.

If wire ties or spiral binding are to be used, they should only
be considered on pipe sections with an outer surface diam-
eter of 200 mm or less.

In those cases, there should be:
At least three wires tie per section.
Spiral binding must be per section (i.e. tied off at each end
of each pipe section).

75
SeaRox LM 900 consists of stone wool lamellas placed
edgeways, the majority of the bres being perpendicular to
the facing. The SeaRox Lamella Mat can be used up to max.
service temperatures of 250C. Facing max. 80C.
Due to the alignment of the Rockwool bres in SeaRox
Lamella Mat, it has a high resistance to compression. It is
suitable for applications where there is a requirement for:
Compression resistance
Possible mechanical impact
Operational vibration loads

The surface nish on the SeaRox Lamella Mat, should be
taped at all joints.

The mats are secured with steel banding.

Elbows/Bends
To form insulated elbows with Pipe Section, the section is
cut at angles to form segments.

The amount of segments depends on the size of the pipe
and the angle of the elbow.

When the pipe section segments are t around the pipe,
they are secured with steel banding or wire ties per section.

Any minor gaps between segments can be lled with pieces
of Rockwool insulation.
Insulation with
SeaRox Lamella Mat
76
SeaRox Wired Mat is a lightly bonded stone wool mat faced
with a galvanised wire mesh. SeaRox WM can be used up
to max. service temperatures of 680C acc. to EN 14706.
Facing 80C.
Due to their exibility and high temperature resistance,
SeaRox Wired Mat can easily be cut and xed onto the pip-
ing.
SeaRox Wired Mats have a relatively low resistance to
pressure and from a practical point of view should only be
installed in combination with spacers. Due to the thermal
bridges of this combination the better insulation perfor-
mances are often achieved in the lower and middle tem-
perature range with Pipe Sections rather than with SeaRox
Wired Mats.
Fixing
Any gaps created by the type of support ring installed, must
be lled with loose Rockwool.

SeaRox Wired Mats are secured to the pipe by stitching the
edges of the wire mesh together with binding wire or by
clipping the mesh together with C-Hooks.

On pipes with a diameter greater than 350 mm, steel straps
or additional pins and spring washers are applied on the
underside of the pipe, it may be necessary to prevent sag-
ging.

On vertical pipes, the wire mesh of each mat must be tied to
the support ring above.
Multiple Layers

Where there is a requirement for more than one layer of
SeaRox Wired Mat, it is recommended that all layers are
stitched or clipped to ensure a consistently tight t of the
insulation.

The outer layer(s) of mat should be applied with longitudi-
nally staggered joints and where applicable, with staggered
joints laterally.
Insulation with
SeaRox Wired Mat
These SeaRox Wired Mats are ideal for application in
situations where the use of Pipe Sections is difcult or
impossible:
Temperatures above 300C
Pipe diameters 350 mm
Piping with a high number of shaped pieces such as
elbows or T-joints.
77
78
Cladding
Suitable cladding should be applied to protect the insulation
from weather inuences, mechanical loads and (potentially
corrosive) pollution. Selecting the appropriate cladding de-
pends on various factors, such as working loads, wind loads,
ambient temperatures and conditions.
When selecting the appropriate cladding, take the following
points into account:
As a general rule, galvanised steel more than aluminium is
used indoors due to its mechanical strength, re resistance
and low surface temperature (in comparison to an alumini-
um cladding).
In corrosive environments like outdoors on deck where salty
water leads to corrision, aluminised steel, stainless steel or
glass reinforced polyester (e.g. RockTight) is used as clad-
ding. Stainless steel is recommended for use in environ-
ments with a re risk.
The surface temperature of the cladding is inuenced by
the material type. The following applies as a general rule:
the shinier the surface, the higher the surface temperature.
To exclude the risk of galvanic corrosion, only use combi-
nations of metals that do not tend to corrode due to their
electrochemical potentials.
For acoustic insulation, a noise absorbent material (Lead
layer, polyethyten foil) is installed on the insulation or inside
the cladding. To reduce the risk of re, limit the surface
temperatures of the cladding to the maximum operating
temperature of the noise absorbent material.
Tanks and vessels can be insulated with SeaRox Slabs
min. density 45 kg/m
3
if there are no requirements for high
operational temperatures. The products can be used up to
max. service temperatures of 250C.
The SeaRox Slabs are installed over metal strap ties. These
ties are bent over the edge of the outer layer of SeaRox
Slabs to retain them against the tank wall.

Where the insulation extends more than 4 m in height, in-
termediate support proles must be installed onto the tank
wall. Special S-proles can be used to ensure vertically
staggered joints, while supporting the SeaRox Slabs above

When more than one layer of SeaRox Slabs is required, all
joints must be staggered and tightly butted together to avoid
thermal bridges.

The SeaRox Slabs must be covered with a at or proled
external cladding to protect them from the weather and

Rules and
Regulations
In general for commercial vessels the rules concerning noise
levels onboard are quite simple and few. It is basically a set of
dB(A) levels given for a range of different positions onboard.
These settings are given in the IMO res. A.468(XII).
Limits for noise levels are specied for various maximum
spaces as follows:
Work spaces dB(A)
Machinery spaces (continuously manned) 90
Machinery spaces (not continuously manned) 110
Machinery control rooms 75
Workshops 85
Non-specied work spaces 90
Navigation spaces dB(A)

When the sound hits a wall, the sound is reected - some will
be absorbed and a small part will be transmitted.
The sound insulating property of the construction, its reduc-
tion power called R, is measured in dB and is a measurement
of the power of the construction to prevent the passage of the
sound.
In porous absorbers like Rockwool materials the sound ab-
sorption takes place by the sound energy being converted into
frictional heat between the Rockwool bres. The sound ab-
sorption depends on the thickness of the material. The values
at the low frequencies are improved with increased thickness.
The same tendency can be obtained by moving the absorbers
away from the base.
Protection of the absorber by a cover plate does not change
the absorption as long as the plate has a sufcient number of
openings. A perforation of 15% could be sufcient for a 1 mm
thick cover plate of steel.
Thicker covers require a larger number of small holes.
High R =
good sound insulation
good sound reduction

Overview - absorption measurements
Sound absorption is a material property which describes how
well sound waves are absorbed in a material. When a sound
wave is absorbed, it simply means that the sound wave is
transferred into another kind of energy i.e. heat. On this page
you will nd the sound absorption coefcient,
w
for the most
common SeaRox products.

Sound reduction Sound absorption
Sound reduction is an impression rating the reduction of
sound through a wall or a building element from one room
to the other. Since the sound reduction may be different at
different frequencies, test measurements are subjected to a
standard procedure which yields a single number that is about
equal to the average sound reduction in the middle of the hu-
man hearing range. The weighting procedure is standardized
in ISO 717-1 for the sound reduction of airborne noise.

Dynamic Stiffness
The dynamic stiffness is an important parameter when opti-
mising oating oors. This is true both with respect to air- and
structure-borne noise, as well as impact noise.
In principle, the dynamic stiffness should be as low as possible
in order to obtain a low natural frequency of the oating oor.
On the other hand, the load bearing capacity and the possible
unfavourable experience of walking on a oor that is too soft
may set a lower limit for the stiffness.
SeaRox SL 436 is the most common product used for oating
oors. This product is produced according to specic levels of
dynamic stiffness according to thickness and the static stiff-
ness also called compression strength.
Read more about SeaRox SL 436 and
oating oors, on page 69.
The graph shows the relation to dynamic stiffness, thickness and
compression.

Easy installation
SeaRox Acoustic Foil must not be xed directly to the
insulation. It is essential that the lm is tted loosely, with a
small gap between the insulation and the lm. This is either
done by wrapping it around the slab or by utilising the welding
pins required to secure the wool to the substrate.
The lm should be overlapped by 100 mm minimum. Although
the lm is very strong, in some cases it may be necessary to
reinforce any penetration (from pins etc.) with self adhesive
tape. SeaRox Acoustic Foil can be combined in any approved
Rockwool re protection solutions or with any SeaRox ther-
mal/acoustic insulation products.
Although the solution has been tested as a system, which
includes a perforated steel plate, Rockwool does not supply
this item.

Providing re protection and noise reduction in areas where
mechanical strength and resistance to oil contamination is
required has always been a problem. Now Rockwool has a
system which addresses all the these issues.
Traditional solutions of insulation incorporating either an
alu-foil or steel plate nish are very good for re protection
and the prevention of oil contamination, but these surface
materials unfortunately reduce the otherwise excellent noise
absorption properties of the insulation behind.
By using the SeaRox Acoustic Foil system, the noise reduction
properties of the SeaRox material will remain.
SeaRox Acoustic Foil is very strong, thin and durable lm,
which is resistant to oil/ oil mist, water and most other sub-
stances expected to be found in the environment og the Engine
Room.
The lm (which covers the mineral wool insulation and is
then covered by a perforated steel plate) has been tested for
surface ammability, according to IMO Res MSC.61(67), annex
1 part 5 and IMO res 653(16), by the Danish Institute of Fire
Technology. The result is in full compliance with SOLAS.
To obtain the optimal sound properties the lm must be tted
loosely with a small gap between it and the insulation.
Documented sound properties
The system has also been tested for sound reduction proving
its unique acoustic perfomance.

The requirements of the indoor climate and comfort have
become more stringent during the recent years. The insula-
tion constitutes an important factor of this, as it ensures that
the correct temperature is obtained.
The most common way of expressing thermal properties is by
using the following nomenclature:
Coefcient of the Thermal Transmission
(U-value)
Thermal Resistance (R)
Thermal Conductivity ()
It is important to note that the -value for any given material
varies with temperature.

Specication of the -value should therefore be referred to
as mean temperature and, if possible, to a standardised
method for measurement and calculation.
Solutions for
Thermal Insulation
1: Thermal insulation can be used alone where there is no
other demand for the deck and bulkhead.
2: Thermal insulation can also be used together with re insu-
lation or sound insulation.

When the minimum insulation thickness has been found
for protecting against sound or re, the thermal trans-
mission (U-value) of this material can be calculated from
the -value. If a higher insulation level is requested the
construction can be improved by adding an extra layer of a
lower density product.
In all cases of insulating towards cold temperatures the wool
must always be covered by a vapour tight surface. This surface
can be aluminium foil or another kind of vapour barrier. The
gaps should be tightly sealed with alu tape.
When adding additional insulation to a re construction it
should be documented and approved by the local surveyor.
Floor connection
When making a surface towards the exterior it is necessary
to end the insulation 50 mm above the oor to avoid rising
moisture. This to make sure that condensate from the
bulkhead can be drained away.
In front of the gab, a piece of flat iron can be fit to guide the
condensate to a drain.

All Rockwool SeaRox products fulfil the IMO rules of
noncombustibility and low flame spread. Besides this the
products have excellent water repellent properties which are also
important as thermal insulation is often placed directly up against
the outer construction with changing temperatures.

Lambda value/ thermal conductivity ()
The lambda() value, also referred to as thermal conductivity,
is a value indicating how well a material conducts heat. It indi-
cates the quantity of heat (W), which is conducted through 1 m
2

wall, in a thickness of 1 m, when the difference in temperature
between the opposite surfaces of this wall equals 1 K (or 1C).
In practice is a numerical value expressed in terms of W/
(mK). The lower the value, the better the insulation property
of the material.
Examples at 10C
Steel: = 50 W/mK
Concrete: = 1.6 W/mK
Glass: = 1.1 W/mK
Wood: = 0.12 W/mK
Rockwool: = 0.035 W/mK
U value
The transport of thermal energy through a structure is ex-
pressed by a coefcient, U (Thermal transmittance coefcient).
It represents the ow of heat (in W) through 1 m
2
of a structure,
when the difference between the two surrounding tempera-
tures is 1 K (or 1C). The thermal transmittance coefcient is
expressed in W/(m
2
K). The lower the coefcient, the better the
structure insulates.
R value
Thermal resistance, R, is a measure used in a construction.
The R value is the reciprocal value U-value. Increasing the
thickness of an insulating layer increases the R value.

Surfaces
Plain Rockwool:
This is the basic Rockwool product which is approved and suitable for
almost any purpose. The products are based on stone wool which can
withstand temperature above 1,000C without melting.
Wired Mat with wire mesh:
Some of our fire rated constructions are based on Wired Mat and the
wire mesh can form an additional safety to secure the product. Within
technical insulation a Wired Mat is often used for high temperature
applications or if you need to bend the insulation around e.g. a pipe.
Wired Mat with reinforced aluminium foil and wire mesh:
This surface has the same properties as the Wired Mat but has further
more the property of securing a dust free surface. Please notice that
the alu foil will be perforated due to the stitching process and there-
fore not usable as vapour barrier.
Reinforced aluminium foil:
The reinforced aluminium surface will be the best solution if you need
a vapour barrier. The product will secure that no vapour will enter the
product and result in corrosion of steel and damaged wool.
Glass cloth:
This surface has three major properties: impact resistant, dust free
surface and a nicer outlook. This surface will in many cases save the
use of an extra metal cladding as the woven cloth is strong enough to
resist most impact from the surroundings.
Black glass tissue:
The thin black tissue is often used in ventilation shafts or behind a
perforated plate as it secures a dust free surface and a nice outlook.
Neutral glass tissue:
The thin neutral surface will secure a dust free surface.
The white/transparent look will give a bright surface.
A very strong and durable thin 19 film, which is resistant to
oil, water and most other substances expected to be found in
the environment of the engine room. Also the noise absorption
properties will stay at their full capacity (the film is market
as a separate commodity).
There are many reasons for choosing insulation products with facings. In most cases it is done to obtain a vapour barrier, which
prevents formation of condensation on the cold side of a construction. If vapour is the reason for choosing a new surface Rockwool
markets different products with reinforced aluminium foil. In other cases it is necessary to have a better look than the pure wool;
Rockwool markets different surfaces such as glass tissue and glass cloth. If the need is to secure the product then a surface with
wire mesh might be preferable.

Aquaduct - Thermal Insulation
Solutions for Sub-sea Pipelines
Advantages
Resistant to high temperatures
Resilient; good recovery following deformation
Unaffected by welding of eld joints
Free from HFCs and other blowing gases
Reliable performance; thermal conductivity cannot degrade
due to loss of entrapped gas
Easy to handle and install
Rockwool insulation is recyclable and its life cycle analysis
proves that it contributes actively to improve the environ-
ment.
Due to the exibility of the product range of Aquaduct Solu-
tions we have the capability to offer specic solutions to meet
specic demands, regardless of the complexity of Pipe Bundle
congurations. These are some examples of the solutions that
we have previously offered.
Rockwool insulation products can be tailor made for individual
projects and purposes. The most typical products are de-
scribed below.
Aquaduct CL
Aquaduct CL are special patented Rockwool products where
the vertical direction of the bres provides an excellent
compression resistance at low thicknesses (down to 10 mm
thickness). The bres are bonded to a reinforced aluminium
foil outer facing and the product can be supplied with very low
tolerances. In most cases Aquaduct CL will be the optimal
choice for Pipe in Pipe solutions.
Aquaduct Sections
Aquaduct Sections are rigid pre-formed circular units of
Rockwool insulation supplied with or without an outer cover-
ing. Aquaduct is available in almost any combination of diam-
eter, thickness and length and can be adapted to individual
needs and specications. Aquaduct Sections are the optimal
choice for bigger sizes of pipe.
Rockwools unique product properties are
also available for thermal insulation of
Sub Sea Pipelines.

Health and Safety - Green Passport
Scientic research of man-made mineral bres goes back to
1930; to the beginning of the production of these bres, which
has expanded enormously in a wide range of insulation ap-
plications since. The growth in the use of mineral bres - also
known as Man-Made Vitreous Fibres (MMVFs) - has meant
that scientists have needed to describe the effects on public
health. Independent institutes worldwide have, consequently,
been carrying out extensive animal and epidemiological stud-
ies of mineral (glass, rock and slag) wool workers for more
than seventy years.
RTI is part of the Rockwool Group and one of Rockwools larg-
est R&D projects ever resulted in the high-alumina low-silica
wool generation. This is a quality wool with higher bio-solubil-
ity as a result of its chemical composition (see box) and thus
a wool with an increased safety margin in comparison with
traditional mineral wool.
Roxul1000 bers are world wide exonerated from any classi-
cation. The product quality of this wool is, of course, consist-
ently high, retaining all technical features.
Green Passport
All RTI stone wool insulation materials for the marine and
offshore market, produced at any of the European Rock-
wool production plants, will NOT be classied as hazardous
materials in relation to the mentioned IMO resolution guide-
line A.962(23). Therefore Rockwool insulation should not be
mentioned in any Green passport listings.
