16、 (482 F). At higher temperatures, thetreatment will degrade at a rate which depends on the tempera-ture applied. The user shall contact the manufacturer forspecific information on the lifetime of the treatment at highertemperatures than 250 C (482 F).4.3.2 Grade 2B, hydrophobic insulation, which has

17、 beenheated to the point where the hydrophobic treatment is de-stroyed, performs as Grade 2 insulation with a use temperatureof 1000 C (1832 F).5. Ordering Information5.1 The type, grade and dimensions shall be specified by thepurchaser.5.2 The purchaser shall specify inspection of the material,wher

18、e required.5.3 When a certification, test report, or both, are required, itshall be specified by the purchaser.5.4 The purchaser and supplier shall agree whether theinsulation shall be supplied plain or with facings to facilitateease of handling, to minimize dust generation, or to resist theingress

19、of water. If faced, the purchaser and supplier shall agreeon the type and requirements. (WarningThe purchaser isadvised that the maximum use temperature of facings, adhe-sives, and thread is usually lower than the maximum usetemperature of the insulation. The purchaser and supplier shallagree whethe

20、r the facings need to maintain their integrity onheating or whether they are sacrificial).6.

21、 opacifiers and man-made or natural fibers or fila-ments. Asbestos shall not be used as an ingredient or compo-nent of the product.6.2 Typical facings are as follows:6.2.1 Glass cloth, wrapped around or adhered to the surfaceof the microporous insulation with an alkali silicate basedadhesive;6.2.2 F

22、or other facings, if available, contact the manufac-turer.7. Physical Properties7.1 The microporous insulation shall conform to the physi-cal requirements described in Tables 3-5, other than formaximum density which is provided for information only.Consult the manufacturer for specific design recomm

23、endationsfor all material types, grades, and classes.7.2 The user is advised that some applications requireknowledge of the thermal conductivity of the insulation mate-rial at mean temperatures above those shown. Consult themanufacturer for data at mean temperatures exceeding thoselisted.7.3 The phy

25、 Microporous InsulationType DefinitionType I Boards Boards are rigid pieces of microporous insulation of rectangularshape and cross-section in which the thickness is uniform andsubstantially smaller than the other dimensions. The density ofboards is in the range 200 to 450 kg/m3(12.5 to 28.1 lb/ft3)

26、. Theyare supplied either unfaced or faced. Facing materials often havemaximum service temperatures lower than that of the insulation anddegrade without affecting the insulation properties in service.Type II Quilted Panels Quilted panels are flexible panels completely encased in wovenglass cloth and

27、 stitched completely through parallel or crosswise indistances from 25 to 100 mm (1 to 4 in.) in order to give flexibility inone or two dimensions. Thread types used include glass, aramid, orstainless steel. The density of quilted panels is in the range 190 to300 kg/m3(11.9 to 18.7 lb/ft3). The glas

28、s cloth is provided forhandling purposes only and embrittles or melts at temperaturesbelow the maximum usage temperature of the insulation withoutaffecting the insulation properties in service.Type III Molded Pipe Sections Molded Pipe sections are half-shells or segments of microporousinsulation fac

29、ed with woven glass cloth and high-temperatureadhesive for the insulation of cylindrical objects such as pipes. Thedensity of pipe sections is in the range 300 to 400 kg/m3(18.7 to25.0 lb/ft3). The glass cloth is provided for handling purposes onlyand embrittles or melts at temperatures below the ma
