Which standards govern industrial insulation?

Three families. Calculation: ASTM C680 / ISO 12241 (heat loss and surface temperature — the method behind every number on this site). Materials: ASTM C547 (mineral-wool pipe), C592 (wired mat), C612 (board), C533 (calcium silicate), C552 (cellular glass), C610 (perlite), C1728 (aerogel), C534 (elastomeric), EN 14303–14309 (European thermal-insulation product standards). Systems: ASTM C1695 (fabrication of flexible removable/reusable covers), C585 (pipe-insulation dimensions), ASTM C1729/C1767 (Al/SS jacketing), plus practice manuals — CINI (the de-facto European industrial handbook) and NACE SP0198 for CUI.

Inzonex: Some materials in this database are rated to 1000 °C or above. Standard Inzonex projects usually address duties up to +600 °C; the allowable temperature of the complete engineered assembly must be confirmed for the specific application.
