Covering Of Insulated Objects >> Using Arma-Chek D Covering
VESSEL DOME END
When covering an Armafl ex-insulated vessel dome end
with Arma-Chek D covering material it is necessary to
cut out segments. (Use enough segments to ensure that
the material can be applied without wrinkles.)
1. Determine the arc length of the vessel dome end us-
ing a tape measure.
2. Calculate the circumference U = arc length x
π
and
divide the circumference by the number of segments
to be used.
3. Draw the fi rst segment on the covering material.
Version 1:
Cut out the segments adding an overlap
of 50mm to one side (segment to segment). All-over
adhesive coverage should also be used on the over-
lap. On outdoor applications these seams should be
secured with the Arma- Chek Mastic.
Version 2:
Draw the outline of the segments without
the 50 mm overlap. Using all-over adhesive coverage
and butting the segments against each other, apply
the covering material to the insulation material.
Secure the seams
- with Arma-Chek D self-adhesive tape on indoor
applications
- with 100 mm wide strips of the covering material,
applied with all-over adhesive coverage, on out-
door applications.
4. Make a template by gluing the fi rst segment onto a
piece of cardboard, for example.
5. Now use this template to draw and cut out the other
segments.
In general an overlap of at least 100 mm should be
added which is then feathered and applied to the
Armafl ex-insulated vessel dome end using all-over
adhesive coverage.
6. To achieve a tidy fi nish, a circular piece of the cover-
ing material can be used to cover the ends of the
selfadhesive tape or strips in the middle of the vessel
dome end.
7. Finally, covering material is applied to the Armafl ex
insulated vessel (jacket), beginning in the concentric
100 mm overlap of the vessel dome end. When cov-
ering the vessel observe a vertical overlap of 50 mm
for the covering material.
8. In the area where the coverings of the vessel jacket
and vessel dome end overlap, an aesthetic fi nish can
be achieved by applying Arma-Chek tape (indoor
appplications) or strips of the Arma-Chek covering
material (outdoor applications).
