• Industrial Insulation Installation

First published in 1979 by MICA, the Standards Manual has received wide acceptance throughout the United States and other countries. It has established standardized guides never before available to our field for methods of designing, specifying and installing thermal insulation products. The 7th edition of the the National Commercial & Industrial Insulation Standards continues to be the National Source of technical information for the design specification and installation of commercial and industrial insulation. A definitive resource for every industry professional. AVAILABLE IN DECEMBER 2011.

New for the Seventh Edition:. New Design of Text and Plates. 11 New Plates Including Vapor Dam Plates.

New Numbering System for Plates. Updated Materials and Properties Section.

Insulation Materials Specification Chart The Insulation Materials Specification Chart, created originally for the NIA’s training programs, provides users with physical and material properties of various insulation materials as specified in ASTM Materials Specifications. This product, created by NIA’s Technical Information Committee (TIC), was born out of a need for an unbiased, easy-to-use selection guide to help students look up and study the physical and material properties of different types of insulations. Codes & Specs The National Commercial & Industrial Insulation Standards Manual, also known as the MICA Manual, was developed by the Midwest Insulation Contractors Association (MICA). The newly updated 8th Edition is available both in printed and interactive PDF versions with 111 MICA Insulation Plates, including vapor dams and a new Cryogenic Section, and updated Materials Property Section with tables conforming to ASTM Standards. ASTM International is an international standards organization that develops and publishes voluntary consensus technical standards for a wide range of materials, products, systems, and services. Standard 90.1 has been a benchmark for commercial building energy codes in the United States and a key basis for codes and standards around the world for more than 35 years. The ICC is dedicated to developing model codes and standards used in the design, build, and compliance process to construct safe, sustainable, affordable, and resilient structures.

Industrial Insulation Installation

The International Codes®, or I-Codes®, published by ICC, provide minimum safeguards for people at home, at school, and in the workplace. The I-Codes are a complete set of comprehensive, coordinated building safety and fire prevention codes.

MasterSpec®, a product of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), is the ultimate resource for producing specifications your way. With master guide specifications, delete what doesn’t apply, add your own customizations, and rest assured that your specs are current and complete.

Process Industry Practices (PIP) is a coalition of process industry owners and engineering construction contractors who serve the industry. PIP was organized in 1993 and is a separately funded initiative of the Construction Industry Institute (CII), at The University of Texas at Austin. PIP publishes documents called Practices. These Practices reflect a harmonization of company engineering standards in various disciplines. One of these disciplines is coating and insulation and includes design, selection and specification, and installation information. Visit to learn more.

The North American Insulation Manufacturers Association’s (NAIMA's) free 3E Plus® is software program designed for fibrous insulation and it makes it easy to calculate the appropriate insulation thickness necessary for any application. To ensure accuracy, the program has customizable inputs for every aspect of your job—and offers default values if your exact numbers aren’t available. Insulation selections are based on K-values from ASTM material standards.

Learn how to use the 3E Plus software for all insulation types by taking NIA's fully accredited certification program, the Insulation Energy Appraisal Program. Download it for free from.
