Insulating with Arma-Chek D >> Using Pre-Covered Sheets

   100  mm Arma-Chek  D  self-adhesive  tape  with  the 
   same overlap as butt joints.
b.  Secure butt joints and edges on outdoor applications 
   in  the  same  way.  Note  the  special  installation 
   techniques  for  outdoors  described  in  chapter 
   “Application  of  pre-coated  material-straight  pipes” 
   (see page xx).

CIRCULAR DUCTWORK

Circular  ductwork  is  insulated  with Arma-Chek  D  pre-
coated sheets depending on the diameter of the duct-
work and the insulation thickness of the insulation mate-
rial used. (See table on page xx in chapter ”Application 
of sheet material“.)

HANGING DUCTWORK

Use the Armafi x duct supports to optimize the preven-
tion of thermal bridging and simplify the hanging of duct-
work.

VESSELS

1.  First  insulate  the  vessel  jacket  with  Arma-Chek  D 
   pre-coated sheet material.
   Position the jacket insulation at least 5 cm (position-
   ing mark) above the weld seam of the vessel head 
   (valid for vessels with an outer diameter of up to a 
   maximum of 1.5 m, for larger vessels the positioning 
   mark must be raised accordingly).
   Determine the length of the arc of the vessel head
   and the vessel bottom using strips of Arma-Chek D.

2.  Transfer the length of the arc to factory-coated Arma- 
   Chek D sheets using the previously mentioned strip.
