Insulation of c
olumns
Support constructions and spacers
The application of support constructions and
spacers on columns is essential. The objective of
support constructions is to bear the weight of the
insulation system and to bear the weight above
mounting supports on the object to be insulated.
The spacers keep the cladding of the insulation at
a predetermined distance. On columns, which are
always vertical, the substructures often assume
the functions of the support construction and
spacer.
AGI guidelines Q153 and Q154 can be referenced
for the design of support constructions and
spacers.
Before commencing the insulation works, fit
mounting supports to the column to which the
support constructions are fitted. The shape,
construction and measurements of mounting
supports for support constructions must enable
the insulation to be fitted during assembly. Use
the design loads specified in DIN guidelines
1055-4 and 1055-5 can be referenced to specify
design loads and to dimension the mounting
supports and the support constructions and
spacers.
