A vapor barrier is installed with edges overlapped by 100 mm and a small puncture left unsealed. Identify the errors.
- A. Two errors: overlap shall be at least 175 mm, and punctures shall be sealed ✓
- B. No error; 100 mm overlap is sufficient
- C. One error: the overlap only
- D. One error: the puncture only
- E. Two errors: overlap shall be 254 mm, and foil shall be aluminium for that stage
Vapor barrier edges shall be overlapped by at least 175 mm, and edges and punctures shall be overlapped and sealed with sodium silicate, fiber cement, mortar, or moldable. A barrier with an unsealed puncture gives no protection at that point. API 976, 8.2
What are the requirements for a blanket hot-face layer in layered construction?
- A. Needled blanket 12 mm thick at 64 kg/m3 density
- B. Any blanket 50 mm thick at 96 kg/m3 density
- C. Needled blanket 25 mm thick at 128 kg/m3 density ✓
- D. Vacuum formed board at 38 mm thickness and 240 kg/m3 nominal density
- E. Wet blanket 25 mm thick at any density
In layered construction the hot-face layer shall be a needled blanket 25 mm (1 in.) thick at 128 kg/m3 (8 lb/ft3) density, for both overlap and butt joint construction. The 38 mm at 240 kg/m3 figures belong to fiberboard used as a hot face, and 96 kg/m3 is the minimum for backup blanket. API 976, 8.2
