Fixing Aluminium Jacketing

to pipelines, vessels, towers & tanks
Insulated Pipe Lines
Determine the insulation circumference, and using knife and
straight edge, cut the jacketing, allowing 76.2 mm (3”) for lap
and hem. Turn back a 25 mm (1”) hem on one edge (Fig.1) and
wrap jacketing around allow 50 mm (2”) overlap at both
circumferential and longitudinal joints (Figs.1 and 2).
Longitudinal laps must be on the underside of horizontal lines,
away from prevailing weather on vertical lines, and slightly
offset on adjacent pieces (Fig.3). Fasten in place with
aluminium strapping and seals. Cut strapping to circumference
of insulation and add 152 mm (6”). Fix seal to end of strapping
(Fig.4). Take strapping round jacketing and back through the
seal.

Pull strapping tight with pliers while holding a screwdriver or

wedge against the back of seal (Fig.5). While maintaining
tension, take the strapping back through the wings of the seal
and close them down over it (Fig.6). Strapping should be
placed over circumferential laps and at 203 mm (8”) to 304 mm
(12”) intervals, depending on the pipe diameter and local
conditions.

Alternatively, aluminium pan head self-tapping screws can be

used instead of strapping and seals. Wrap jacketing lightly
round the insulated pipe line and secure temporarily with wide
belts. Do not use wire. Insert 8 x 12.7 mm (I”) aluminium self-
tapping screws 76.2 min (3”) to 127 mm (5”) along both
longitudinal and circumferential laps.

For extra weather protection at joints, on bends and fittings,

vertical pipelines, for example, apply a continuous bead of
Metal Sealant 4-04 between all laps (supplied in cans or
cartridges, see price list).

Vessels, Towers and Tanks

For vessels, towers and tanks more than 1.82 m (6”) diameter,
TS 1004 aluminium sheets should be used. For vessels,
towers and tanks less than 1.82 m (6”) in diameter Aluminium
Jacketing is recommended. For ease of handling cut lengths of
Aluminium Jacketing from 3 m (1O”) to 3.6 m (12”) allowing at
least 76.2 mm (3”) overlap at both circumferential and
longitudinal joints. Use a broad belt to hold sheets temporarily
in place and insert number 8 x 12.7 mm (1/2”) aluminium self-
tapping screws every 152 mm (6”) along the overlapping joints.
Additional support should be given by using 19 mm (3/4”) by
0.50 mm (0.020”) aluminium strapping with seal around each
course of jacketing.

STAINLESS STEEL PRODUCT DATA SHEET

Stainless-Steel Roll Jacketing is manufactured from AISI-304, APPLICATIONS

AISI-304L, AISI-316 AND AISI-316L prime grade Austenitic
stainless steel with regular 2B finish for flatness and reduced
glare. The yield strength is 30,000/45,000 PSI, the tensile
75,000/100,000 PSI. For easy field fabrication, Stainless Steel
Jacketing is supplied in the annealed or soft condition. AISI-
304 AND AISI-304L is normally used except in the most
corrosive areas where AISI-316 AND AISI-316L is justified. All
AISI-304, AISI-304L, AISI-316 AND AISI-316L Stainless steel
are described in ASTM A-240.
Stainless Steel Jacketing has a melting point of approximately
2500°F Stainless Steel offers the best fire protection of all
metals used for metal jacketing.
The primary use of Stainless Steel sheet and jacketing is for
hostile environments such as the pulp, paper, textile, refinery
and Petro-Chemical applications.
STAINLESS STEEL CHARACTERISTICS
AISI-304: Most widely used steel type. 304 is known for good
corrosion resistance, thermal resistance, low-temperature
strength and mechanical properties. 304 have good draw
ability such as deep drawing and bending. 304 is not hardened
by heat treatment. (non-magnetic, usable temperature: -
196~800°C)

Galv-cote Steel Sheet & Jacketing

Description/Specification
GALV-COTE Steel sheet and jacketing is manufactured from
continuous hot-dipped G90 Zinc-coated steel. The bare
galvanized steel sheet is first physically and chemically
cleaned, primer coated, and finally top coated with a modified
Silicone polyester paint. This paint system features outstanding
exterior durability and superior non-chalking and gloss
retention properties.

The bare steel meets ASTM A-527 LFQ and JIS G 3302.

THICKNESS:
.01 6", .020", .024", 032", .040", .050"
WIDTH & DESCRIPTION:
Rolls 24" through 48", sheets 1-1/4" and 2-1/2" deep
corrugated -33"; 4"x1" Box Rib -38-1/2" (Note: On 4"x 1" Box
Rib
.016" and .020" must be embossed).

Finishes
Galv-cote is available in smooth and stucco embossed. The
stucco embossed finish on Galv-cote sheets reduce glare from
sunlight, adds strength and has more potential fro masking
application fingerprints, scratches, dents and other minor
surface blemishes.

Applications
The primary use of Galv-cote sheet and jacketing is for hostile
environments such as the pulp, paper, textile, refinery and
Petro-Chemical applications.

Moisture Barrier
Sheet & Jacketing is supplied with a moisture barrier, which
consists of 40-pound kraft paper coated with one mil thick, low
density polyethylene film, heat and pressure bonded to the
interior surface. This moisture barrier prevents galvanic
corrosion caused by contact of dissimilar metals in the
presence of moisture, and chemical corrosion caused by
installing sheets over damp insulation materials.

For increased galvanic and corrosion protection, three-mil

polyethylene or Poly-Surlyn* moisture barriers are available.

The Aludip range of high-integrity steels offers three products.
Aludip BQ is the standard product in this range and is the base
for organic coated products, Aludip BQX and Aludip BQHE.
Aludip Building Quality
Aludip BQ is used as insulation cladding in the power
generating, petrochemical, and oil industries. Its primary use is
in the lagging of pipes, but it also used for ventilation ducting
and building cladding. Its hot-dip aluminium-silicon alloy
coating provides excellent corrosion resistance in demanding
applications.
Aludip Building Quality Extra
Aludip BQX is based upon Aludip BQ, but has a protective
organic coating in addition to its alloy coating. It provides extra
protection against the harshest atmospheric corrosion, such as
sea spray and salt air attack, particularly in spaces that are
north facing, poorly ventilated, and not regularly washed with
fresh rainwater. Typical applications include offshore oilrigs
and seashore termanails.
The organic coating on Aludip BQX is available in white or
standard grey and offers a uniform surface and colour for
applications that require enhanced appearance.
Aludip Building Quality High-Emissivity
Aludip BQHE has a high-demissivity coating and is suitable for
applications that require the surface to absorb a high
proportion of ambient heat. A typical example is pipe cladding
for power stations. The special grey organic coating has an
emissivity index exceeding 0.8. this coating also enhances
Corrosion resistance
Aludip high-integrity steels have excellent corrosion resistance,
far superior to pure zinc and zinc-aluminium alloy coatings.
See figure 2, which compares the coating loss of Aludip BQ
with two other coatings. Zinc coating protect the steel substrate
through sacrificial oxidation. However, the zinc salts formed in
that process are constantly washed away, leaving the steel
exposed. Aluminium protects the steel substrate by forming a
thin film of aluminium oxide, which does not wash off. The hot-
dip aluminium-silicon alloy coating on Aludip high-integrity
steels protects the steel substrate by forming an inert barrier.
Cut edges and areas of subsequent damage corrode slightly,
but stabilise in a short time, preventing corrosion form
significantly impairing long-term performance.
The additional organic coatings on Aludip BQX and Aludip
BQHE further enhance their corrosion resistance.

oxidation at elevated temperatures.

Continued
at temperatures up to 500 deg C. Above that temperature, the
surface lustre is lose. At 500 deg C, all Aludip products retain
half their mechanical strength; the integrity of the steel is
maintained up to approximately 1300 deg C. Aludip high-
integrity steels are non-combustible as defined in BS 476, Part
4. See figure 5 below.

Galvanised Steel 94.2 62.1
Aluminium 94.8 80.4
Note: Typical figures (for guidance only) on the heat reflectivity
of Aludip BQ and two other common materials.
Sag resistance
Good sag resistance means Aludip BQ high-integrity steels
can be used at elevated temperatures without suffering
distortion.
Zinc-free
Aludip high-integrity steels are zinc-free, and can therefore be
used safely with stainless steel. They are free from risk of
liquid-zinc embitterment, which can cause stainless steel to
fracture.
Abrasion resistance
The abrasion resistance of Aludip BQ is at least as good as
mild steels and galvanised steels.
Formability
Aludip high-integrity steels will withstand moderate lock
seaming and forming and can be bent over a diameter equal to
twice the thickness of the sheet. The metallic and organic
coatings are as formable as the steel substrate and will not
flake or peel. Furthermore, the silicon incorporated in the
metallic coating allows a thinner alloy layer with greater
ductility than a pure aluminium coating.
Painting
The superior corrosion resistance of Aludip BQ means that
under normal conditions, it does not need painting. If the
application requires painting, Aludip BQ has been tested by the
Paint Research Association and found to be an excellent base
for paint, especially heat-resistant paint, with no need for
expensive pre-treatments. An initial primer coat can be
followed by a topcoat with a dry film thickness of less than half
the 125 micrometres, usually recommended for exterior
durable systems.

The advantages of Aludip high-integrity steels
• Low-cost alternative to stainless steel and aluminium
• Greater mechanical strength than aluminium, allowing
lighter gauges to be used
• Higher melting point of aluminium (650-660 deg C)
compare with zinc (419 deg C)
• No risk of extensive pools of melted aluminium in a fire,
due to the low aluminium content of Aludip
• Where material is to be painted, Aludip’s excellent
corrosion resistance saves on pre-treatments and paint
• Safe to use with stainless steel
• Products with enhanced appearance available
Consult Sealumet for advice about weldability of Aludip BQ.
Aludip BQX and BQHE are not suitable for welding.
Painting
Aludip BQX and Aludip BQHE are both pre-painted. Aludip BQ
provides an excellent base for paint, both in its passivated and
unpassivated forms.
Storage
Aludip BQ is normally supplied in the oiled and chromated
condition to reduce the risk of water staining. However, it is
essential that both sheet and coil be stored in dry, protected
conditions before use. The ingress of water or condensation
can lead to unsightly surface staining. Careful and well-
managed storage will prevent such problems.
