Ceramic fiber paper, as a key insulation material for high-temperature working conditions, has become popular in the industrial field due to its excellent heat resistance and flexible processability. Getting the right way to use ceramic fiber paper can make the most of it.
There is a knack for precise cutting
Cutting ceramic fiber paper requires special attention to methodological skills. Ideally, a sharp utility knife is used in conjunction with a steel ruler, and “multiple light strokes” are used. For complex shapes, it is advisable to make a paper pattern first and then cut the ceramic fiber paper accordingly. It is worth noting that thicker ceramic fiber paper (3mm or more) is better handled with professional scissors. Keeping the working surface tidy when cutting can greatly improve the working efficiency.
Installation and fixing should be proper
The fixing method of ceramic fiber paper directly affects the usage effect. When the temperature is lower than 600℃, high temperature adhesive can be used; under high temperature environment, it is recommended to be fixed with ceramic fiber cloth wrapping. Multi-layer stacked use, it is recommended that the ceramic fiber paper staggered seam laying, seam overlap 20-30mm is preferred. In the vibration environment, stainless steel wire can be considered to assist in fixing, but be careful not to over-compress the ceramic fiber paper.
Temperature management is key
The temperature resistance of ceramic fiber paper varies significantly from model to model. The standard type typically withstands temperatures up to 1000°C, while the high purity type can reach 1260°C. It is important to verify that the operating temperatures match before use. It is important to note that ceramic fiber paper shrinks slightly (about 3%) when first used at high temperatures, and should be installed with an appropriate expansion gap. When the temperature exceeds 800 ℃, it is recommended to use a combination of multi-layer ceramic fiber paper program.
Maintenance is indispensable
In daily use, the surface condition of ceramic fiber paper should be checked regularly. When local damage is found, ceramic fiber paper of the same material can be used to repair. When cleaning, use soft brush or low-pressure airflow, avoid water washing. When storing, it should be placed in a dry environment to prevent moisture from affecting the performance. It is recommended to check the performance status every 6 months for ceramic fiber paper that has been under extreme temperature for a long time.
By mastering these practical tips, you will be able to give full play to the excellent performance of ceramic fiber paper. Whether for heat treatment equipment, furnace lining or high-temperature pipe insulation, the correct use of ceramic fiber paper can significantly improve the insulation effect and service life. Remember, choosing the right thickness and type, along with the right installation method, is the key to ensuring the best performance from your ceramic fiber paper.
