Calcium Silicate Insulation

Calcium silicate is used as a safe alternative to asbestos for high temperature insulation materials.

Features of Calcium Silicate insulation board and pipe insulation are

• light weight
• low thermal conductivity
• high temperature and chemical resistance

Calcium Silicate is a rigid, high density material suitable for high temperature applications ranging 250 ^oF (121 ^oC) - 1000 ^oF (540 ^oC).

• Calculate Conductive Heat Transfer
• Calculate Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient - U-value

Calcium Silicate thermal conductivity related to temperature are indicated in the charts below:

• compressive strength is good
• noncombustible

• T (^oC) = 5/9 (T (^oF) - 32)
• 1 W/(m K) = 6.935 (Btu in)/(h ft² °F)
