ArmaSound Industrial Systems

Armaflex shall always be installed according to the recommendations given in the Armaflex installation manual.
Additional application advice may also occasionally be
published on the Armacell website and installations shall
be compliant with this advice in addition to that stated in
the installation manual.
All materials shall be kept free from contamination and
shall be clean, dry and damage free.
4. No PVC tape or any form of self adhesive tapes shall
be installed on any seams or joints without the
permission of the client/Armacell.
INSTALLATION OF ARMASOUND 240 LAYER
ArmaSound 240 shall always be installed as according
to the recommendations given for Armaflex sheet in the
Armaflex Installation Manual.
The following shall be implemented as a minimum:
The following recommendations shall also be implemented:
1. When the insulated pipework or equipment has an
outer diameter greater than 500mm Armaflex sheet
materials shall be installed with all over adhesive
coverage to both the Armaflex surface and the
under-laying substrate. Flat surfaces shall also
require all-over adhesive coverage.
1. All over adhesive coverage is required only on flat
surfaces and vessels.
Note: the requirement for all over adhesive coverage on pipes with diameters greater than 500mm
does not apply to this ArmaSound 240 layer.
2. All seams and joints shall be staggered on all
layers. All Armaflex shall be fitted under compression on all “butt joints”.
Note: It is very important that all material layers are
fitted under compression with no gaps present. The
installation of materials shall be treated as “cold work
process” at all times.
Staggering Pipes > 500mm & flat surface
2. All seams and joints shall be staggered on all layers.
3. All ArmaSound 240 shall be fitted under compression on all “butt joints” where possible.
4. Where possible seams and joints shall be kept to a
minimum.
3. All “butt” joints shall be adhered to the pipe/underlying insulated pipework and “wet sealed” with the
correct type of Armaflex Adhesive as per Armaflex
Installation manual.
5. No PVC tape or any form of self adhesive tapes shall
be installed on any seams or joints without the
permission of the client/Armacell.
6. Armaflex adhesive shall be used on all fixing seams
and joints on straight lines and other pipework fitting
fabrications. In addition, any seams and joints that
have gaps shall be filled with Arma-Chek mastic.
7. Following the application process until this point, all
ArmaSound 240 materials shall be finally secured

For Bends
8. When installing ArmaSound 240 materials onto bend
fabrications, the ArmaSound 240 sheet shall be
fabricated into segments and secured with the 20mm
wide stainless steel band fixings, » see 7 above.

a minimum of 3 fixing bands installed.
2. All fabricated items shall, where applicable, have a
minimum of 50mm overlapping on all seam and
jointing details.
The barrier mat - seam and jointing details shall be
staggered away from the under-laying insulation seam
details, and be positioned to avoid a direct pathway for
possible water ingression in external locations.
INSTALLATION OF ARMA-CHEK R COVERING
Arma-Chek R covering shall be installed as detailed
within the Arma-Chek installation manual and other current Armacell published literature relating to the installation of Arma-Chek R covering.
The following shall be implemented as a minimum:
Note: For smaller pipe sizes the use of 1-2mm stainless steel insulation wire may be appropriate. Please
consult our Technical Department for details.
9. All gaps present around the installed segmented
bend fabrications shall be filled with Arma-Chek
mastic. All mastic shall be allowed to dry before
covering with additional layers of insulation.
1. All Arma-Chek R covering shall be fixed to all
under-laying insulation with all over adhesive coverage on both fixing surfaces, when pipework installations outer diameter is above 500mm. All flat
surface applications shall follow this application
process.
Note: It is not advisable to “spot” apply the adhesive
in any situation.
2. All fixing seams and “butt joint” overlap details shall
be a minimum of 50mm.
3. All overlaps shall have Armaflex adhesive applied to
both overlapping surfaces and allow to tack dry
following instructions of the Arma-Chek installation
manual.
10. No PVC tape or any form of self adhesive tapes shall
be installed on any seams or joints without the
permission of the client/Armacell.
11. Avoid using damaged material!
Note: Stainless steel band fixings shall be used in all
situations for fixing security of the material on pipework, flat surface and vessel equipment types.
INSTALLATION OF ARMASOUND BARRIER T
Where the barrier mat material is required, the following
application process shall be followed.
4. All bend and fitting fabrications shall be installed as
per Arma-Chek installation manual. Always allow a
minimum of 10mm overlap on segment fabrications
on bend applications.
5. All bend and fitting fabrications shall be installed with
all over adhesive coverage on both fixing surfaces.
Note: It is not advisable to “spot” apply the adhesive
in any situation.
6. On the final outer Arma-Chek R Covering layer
apply a “bead” of Arma-Chek mastic, minimum
10mm wide - 3mm thick, to all seams and joints in
order to finish the installation process.
1. The barrier mat shall be fixed and secured tightly
around the insulated equipment throughout. The
barrier mat shall be secured with 20mm wide by
(0.50mm) thick Type 304 stainless steel bands and
wing seal fixings. Each one metre length shall have

APPLICATION GUIDE
PIPE SUPPORTS & STEEL WORK
STORAGE OF ARMACELL PRODUCTS
a.) For pipe supports and steel work installations, where
the complete specified insulation thickness cannot
be implemented, due to space restrictions, the
insulation layer shall, where applicable, be cut
around the steel leg support. The “cut outs” shall be
neat/tidy and accurate with no gaps present.
Store in a safe place, following all procedures of the client and Armacell relating to Health + Safety, storage and
handling procedures. Armacell publication relating to installation procedures
b.) The “cut out” details shall be sealed at all times with
Armaflex adhesive / Arma-Chek mastic at all times.
Note: In order to gain the maximum performance from
both the materials and the acoustic value requirements
it is important that a high standard of workmanship is
achieved during this type of application.
All installers shall have attended an Armacell Installation
Training Course and be certificated before commencing
application process’s as detailed below.
ARMASOUND INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS_
c.) For optimum performance, in order to avoid
acoustic bridging, all steel work directly attached to
the main equipment shall be insulated to the same
thickness and product combination
d.) Final system appearance
All unwanted Armaflex adhesive marks and spillages
on the final outer Arma-Chek R covering layer shall
be easily cleaned away using Armaflex Cleaner
applied using a clean cloth.
It is recommended that this procedure is followed
whilst cleaning the seam and joint details prior to
applying the mastic as the final application detail of
the insulation system.
Note: Ensure the Armaflex Cleaner has dried away,
before applying the mastic. This should take 2-3 min.
for the solvents to evaporate.
