Hot Service Insulation Materials and Installation Specification
​​This Practice provides requirements for materials and installation of hot service insulation systems on the external surfaces of piping and equipment, ambient to 649°C (1200°F). This Practice describes requirements for hot service insulation materials and accessories, storage and handling of materials, insulation application, extent of insulation, and documentation. ​
Technical Revision
Plain and Reinforced Concrete Specification (European Standards)
​This Practice provides requirements for furnishing and installing materials and for proportioning, mixing, placing, testing, and curing of cast-in-place plain and reinforced concrete. This Practice supplements CEN EN 206, Concrete - Specification, performance, production and conformity, CEN EN 13670, Execution of concrete structures, and all the other European Standards (EN) referenced in these documents. This Practice is based on European Standards. European Standards typically have national annexes to modify or define parameters for local conditions. Where a European Standard is referenced, it is always intended to be in conjunction with the relevant national annex unless noted otherwise in contract documents. ​​​​
