Is ceramic fiber blanket fireproof and heat-insulating for steel factory pipelines? The core performance of fireproof and thermal insulation of ceramic fiber blanket for steel plant pipelines, typical applications in steel plants, selection and construction points, while highlighting the product and service advantages of Rosewool Insulation Refractory Co.,Ltd., making it convenient for promotion and engineering implementation. For steel factories, ceramic fiber blankets are still the preferred solution for fire and insulation of pipelines. Rosewool Insulation Refractory Co.,Ltd. suggests selecting standard or zirconium containing products based on the specific working temperature of the pipeline, and giving priority to top manufacturers with mature processes and after-sales services.
                                                                                   

In steel plants, ceramic fiber blanket (also known as aluminum silicate fiber blanket) is one of the core materials for fire and insulation of pipelines. In the process of steel smelting, a large amount of high-temperature gases and liquids are transported through pipelines. Ceramic fiber blankets are mainly used in the following areas:
  • 1. Blast furnace hot air duct: capable of withstanding hot air temperatures of 300 ℃ -600 ℃ or even higher, preventing heat loss and protecting external steel structures.
  • 2. Converter/electric furnace flue gas pipeline: To cope with instantaneous high temperature impact (up to 1000 ℃ or above), prevent pipeline deformation and fire spread.
  • 3. Heating furnace gas pipeline: Ensure stable gas temperature and improve combustion efficiency.
  • 4. Steel ladle roaster pipeline: provides a lightweight and efficient insulation layer.

400 insulation board

400 insulation board made of hard siliceous calcium stone, high-temperature resistant composite board with high density

"400 adiabatic board made of xonotlite, a high-temperature resistant composite board with high density", "Xonotlite" typically refers to high-density, high-strength calcium silicate insulation products, with xonotlite as its main crystalline phase. High-density xonotlite itself is characterized by high density, which brings better compressive strength and dimensional stability, but with a slightly higher thermal conductivity. Its density is usually between 200–300 kg/m³ or even higher (compared to about 150–220 kg/m³ for ordinary calcium silicate boards).
