Summary:

Evaluation of the fire performance of thermal pipe insulations is required by all mechanical codes in the United States. This paper describes a recently developed test to evaluate flame spread, heat release, and smoke generation when pipe insulation systems are exposed in a vertical pipe chase apparatus. This apparatus allows the testing of composite pipe insulation systems, including the core insulation, adhesives, jacketing materials, sealants, tapes, and all other components that are used to field apply these insulation systems.
