A new ASTM International standard covers installation techniques for metal jacketing on mechanical insulation systems. ASTM’s thermal insulation committee ( C16 ) developed the new standard, soon to be available as C1879. Metal jacketing is used as the protective cover over pipe and rigid tubing insulation in most outdoor applications, which include oil, gas, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food/…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel +1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Mary Mikolajewski, tel +1.610.832.9678; mmikolajewski@astm.org Release #11239 ###

A proposed ASTM International standard will establish specification requirements for flexible protective jackets made of modified asphalt or butyl rubber. ASTM International’s thermal insulation committee ( C16 ) is developing the proposed standard. Protective jackets guard products such as ducts and pipe insulation against physical abuse as well as, in some cases, the effects of weather. All…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel+1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Mary Mikolajewski, tel+1.610.832.9678; mmikolajewski@astm.org Release #11215 ###
