Application and other Characteristics
Rockwool Pipe Insulation are used for both hot and cold piping to conserve energy, maintain, process temperature, provide personnel protection, prevent condensation, and to reduce noise level emission. Rockwool insulation should be retained by wire or metal bands in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, and protected if required by metal cladding, mastic or other suitable coating.
Maximum Service Temperature : 750°C
Thermal Conductivity :
The thermal conductivity of Rockwool Pipe Insulation varies with the mean temperature of the insulation as shown in the graph. The curve is based on measurements made with a guarded hot-plate apparatus in accordance with IS 3346-1992.
Thermal Conductivity (W/M.K) X Mean Temperature (°C)
Compression Resistance :
Rockwool Pipe Insulation is a resilient insulation material which readily recovers to its nominal thickness after the removal of a normal compressive load.
Moisture Resistance :
Rockwool Pipe Insulation are water repellant and do not absorb moisture by capillary action or ambient moisture from the atmosphere. Should blankets become wet, full thermal efficiency will be restored on drying out.
Corrosion Resistance :
Will not cause, initiate or promote corrosion.
Fire Resistance :
Rockwool Pipe Insulation are incombustible and resist spread of flames.
