Standard Details

This recommended practice (RP) provides guidance for the performance, qualification, application, quality control, handling, and storage requirements of wet and dry thermal insulation for subsea applications in the petroleum and gas industries. This guideline also covers the inspection of the insulation, and the repair of insulation defects.

Annex A specifies the minimum recommendations for the performance qualification testing and inspection testing requirements for wet insulation systems (insulations in direct contact with seawater).
