Insulation © ƒ½„¯ƒÀƒÂƒ¿ – A Concept for Progress and Quality 13/1 08/07 Selecting the insulation Making the right choice According to the applicable regulations, pipes and fittings for heating systems, service water and drinking water in all buildings have to be equipped with thermal insulation. To avoid heat losses, the energy saving decree (EnEV) prescribes the insulation thickness for heating and service water pipes for all heating systems with a nominal thermal rating of more than 4 kW. For drinking water pipes, DIN 1988, Part 2 indicates the corresponding insulation thicknesses for the protection of pipes against heating up, forming of condensation and corrosion. In addition to thermal insulation, the pipe insulating layer also reduces the radiation of structure-borne noise from the pipework and protects the pipes against acoustic bridges through plaster and mortar. The allocation of insulation thickness according to the installation circumstances of the pipes and the relevant regulations is shown in the following overview.
