ASTM C1767-14

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
Designation: C1767 − 13a C1767 − 14
Standard Specification for
1
Stainless Steel Jacketing for Insulation
This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1767; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers stainless steel jacketing for thermal, acoustical, and fire protective insulation operating at either
above or below ambient temperatures and in both indoor and outdoor locations. It does not cover insulation jacketing made from
other materials such as mastics, fiber reinforced plastic, PVC, aluminum, or coated carbon steel (for example, aluminum-zinc,
galvanized steel, or aluminized steel) nor does it cover the details of thermal, acoustical, or fire protective insulation systems.
1.2 While not intended to cover use inside the containment buildings of nuclear power plants, this standard does not preclude
use of Class E material which does not have a moisture barrier in this containment building application.
1.3 This specification provides physical requirements for stainless steel jacketing for thermal and acoustical insulation. Guide
C1423 provides guidance in selecting jacketing materials and their safe use.
1.4 This is a material specification and does not imply any performance of the installed system using the materials specified
2
herein. For information about installation of stainless steel jacketing, see (1).
1.5 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical
conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
