Wu, Y. P. Xu, S. N. Zhang (IHEP), report on behalf of the Insight-HXMT team: Insight-HXMT was taking data normally around the reported LIGO/Virgo S190512at event (GCN #24503), trigger time T0=2019-05-12 18:07:14 UTC. At T0, more than 95% of the LIGO localization region was covered by the Insight-HXMT without occultation by the Earth. Within T0 +/- 100 s, no significant excess events (SNR > 3 sigma) are found in a search of the Insight-HXMT/HE raw light curves. Assuming the GW counterpart GRB with three typical GRB Band spectral models, two typical duration timescales(1 s, 10 s) from the peak position of the LIGO-Virgo location probability map, the 5-sigma upper-limits fluence (0.2 - 5 MeV, incident energy) are reported below: Band model 1 (alpha=-1.9, beta=-3.7, Ep=70 keV): 1s: 2.6e-07 erg cm^-2 10s: 7.4e-07 erg cm^-2 Band model 2 (alpha=-1.0, beta=-2.3, Ep=230 keV): 1s: 3.6e-07 erg cm^-2 10s: 1.1e-06 erg cm^-2 Band model 3 (alpha=-0.0, beta=-1.5, Ep=1000 keV): 1s: 4.5e-07 erg cm^-2 10s: 1.9e-06 erg cm^-2 All measurements above are made with the CsI detectors operating in the regular mode with the energy range of about 80-800 keV (record energy). Only gamma-rays with energy greater than about 200 keV can penetrate the spacecraft and leave signals in the CsI detectors installed inside of the telescope. Insight-HXMT is the first Chinese space X-ray telescope, which was fundedjointly by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
