INSULATION
CALCIUM SILICATE
Description
HI-THERM calcium silicate block and pipe high temperature
insulation is manufactured using an industry preferred filter
press method which provides accurate dimensional tolerances and superior compressive and flexural strength.
These attributes facilitate installation and provide exceptional resistance to mechanical abuse. HI-THERM calcium silicate insulation is asbestos free and meets or exceeds all of
the requirements of ASTM C 533, Type I.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

177 psi. to Produce 5%
compression (1206 kPa)

A.S.T.M.
Min. 100 psi.
(688 kPa)

Density (dry) Average

(ASTM C 302)

14.5 Ibs. Per cu.ft.

Applications
HI-THERM calcium silicate insulation is recommended for
use on equipment and piping operating at temperatures
from ambient to 250 Deg F (121 Deg C) indoors and protected outdoors up to 1200 Deg F (649 Deg C). it is ideally
suited for industrial use in areas such as the petrochemical
and power generating industries where energy conservation,
process control, personal protection and fire protection are
prerequisites.
