Installation notes

  1. 1Blanket: wrap around cylindrical vessels or layer on flat surfaces, overlap joints by 50 mm
  2. 2Modules: attach to shell plate using stud welding, butt joints, no gaps
  3. 3Boards: cut with hand saw or angle grinder, wear respiratory protection when cutting fibres
  4. 4Expansion gaps: ceramic fiber requires no expansion gaps (it compresses and expands freely)
  5. 5Anchoring: stainless steel stud anchors every 300–400 mm for overhead and vertical applications
  6. 6Vapour barrier: apply rigidiser or colloidal silica coating on hot face to prevent fibre erosion in high-velocity gas applications
