2. Verify that surfaces to be insulated are clean and dry.

B. Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.

A.

B.

PREPARATION

Surface Preparation: Clean and dry surfaces to receive insulation. Remove materials that "";11 adversely affect Insulation application.

Surface Preparation: Clean and prepare surfaces to be insulated. Before insulating, apply a corrosion coating to insulated surfaces as fOllom:

1. Stainless Steel : Coat 300 series stainless steel with an epoxy primer 5 mils thick and an epoxy finish 5 mils thick if operating in a temperature range between 140 and 300 deg F. Consult coating manufacturer for appropriate coati ng materials and application methods for operating temperature range.

2. carbon Steel: Coat carbon steel operating at a service temperature between 32 and 300 deg F with an epoxy coating. Consult coating maMacturer for appropriate coating materials and application methods for operating temperature range.
