Basic properties of ceramic fibres and their effect on insulation performance

Applied Energy, 1976, vol. 2, issue 2, 117-126

Abstract: This paper reviews the basic properties of ceramic fibres. Individual characteristics such as chemical composition, physical state, temperature stability, chemical stability, fibre diameter and fibre length are discussed. Emphasis is laid on their combined contribution to the properties of the very wide range of product forms commercially available. These properties include thermal conductivity, low weight, heat storage and thermal inertia, resistance to thermal shock, low thermal expansion, resilience and recovery from compression, acoustic performance, resistance to molten metal attack and heat distribution.
