About this file
This document is a comprehensive technical specification for thermal insulation systems for mechanical systems in the renovation of Building 606 at the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. The specification provides detailed requirements for insulation materials, installation methods, and performance standards for piping, ductwork, and equipment across various temperature ranges and service conditions.
The specification covers insulation materials including cellular glass, flexible elastomeric, mineral fiber, and polyisocyanurate, with specific guidelines for different applications such as chilled water, heating hot water, domestic water, and refrigerant piping. Key requirements include maintaining thermal efficiency, preventing condensation, and meeting ASHRAE energy standards. The document specifies precise installation techniques, vapor barrier requirements, and performance criteria, such as flame spread and smoke developed indexes. Insulation materials must meet recycled content minimums, with requirements like 75% slag for rock wool and 20% glass cullet for fiberglass. The specification also mandates specific installation practices for different pipe and duct configurations, including penetrations, hangers, and high-abuse areas, ensuring comprehensive thermal protection for the mechanical systems.

Pipe sizes which are not indicated on the Contract drawings must be determined by hydraulic calculations.
1.2.1 Hydraulic Design
1.2.1.1 Basis for Calculations

Perform a fire hydrant flow test prior to shop drawing submittal in accordance with NFPA 291 . Results must include hydrant elevations relative to the building and hydrant number/identifiers for the tested hydrants, including which were flowed, which had a gauge. This information must be presented in a tabular form if multiple hydrants were flowed. The results must be included with the hydraulic calculations.
Hydraulic calculations must be based on flow test noted in this paragraph, unless verified by the Fire Protection Engineer and approved by Contracting Officer. Hydraulic calculations must be based upon the Hazen-Williams formula with a "C" value noted in NFPA 13 for piping, Hydraulic calculations must be based on operation of the fire pump(s) provided in Section 21 30 00 FIRE PUMPS. The minimum residual pressure in a service lateral (lead-in) at the design flow rate must be 20 psi at the suction side of the fire pump.
1.2.1.2 Hydraulic Calculations

b. Provide a summary sheet listing sprinklers in the design area and their respective hydraulic reference points, elevations, minimum discharge pressures and minimum flows. Elevations of hydraulic reference points (nodes) must be indicated.
c. Documentation must identify each pipe individually and the nodes connected thereto. Indicate the diameter, length, flow, velocity, friction loss, number and type fittings, total friction loss in the pipe, equivalent pipe length and Hazen-Williams coefficient for each pipe.
d. Where the sprinkler system is supplied by interconnected risers, the
SECTION 21 13 13 Page 3 sprinkler system must be hydraulically calculated using the hydraulically most demanding single riser. The calculations must not assume the simultaneous use of more than one riser.
e. All calculations must include the backflow preventer manufacturer's stated friction loss at the design flow or 12 psi for double check backflow preventer, whichever is greater.
f. All calculations must be performed back to the actual location of the flow test, taking into account the direction of flow in the service main at the test location.
g. For gridded systems, calculations must show peaking of demand area friction loss to verify that the hydraulically most demanding area is being used. A flow diagram indicating the quantity and direction of flows must be included.
1.2.2 Sprinkler Coverage
Sprinklers must be uniformly spaced on branch lines. Provide coverage throughout 100 percent of the building.
