How to choose the right ceramic fibre blanket

When purchasing CVSIC ceramic fibre blankets, the key is to match your equipment requirements and budget. Here is our purchasing checklist to help you make a quick decision:

1. Determine the operating temperature

  • Requirements: Determine the operating temperature range of the equipment. Standard types are suitable for temperatures below 1100°C, standard and high-purity types for 1260°C, and high-alumina and zirconia-containing types for higher temperatures.
  • CVSIC recommendation: For furnaces with significant temperature fluctuations, choose CV1400 or CV1430 for superior thermal shock resistance. For aerospace or new energy projects, we recommend CV1600, which can withstand temperatures up to 1600°C!

2. Select the appropriate density

  • Requirements: Density affects insulation and weight. 64-96 kg/m³ is lightweight and easy to install, 140-160 kg/m³ provides stronger insulation, and CV1600 can reach 170 kg/m³.
  • CVSIC recommendation: For petrochemical cracking furnaces, choose 140–160 kg/m³; for residential fireplaces, 96 kg/m³ is sufficient. Our engineers can help you optimise your selection!

3. Determine thickness

  • Requirements: Thickness ranges from 6–50 mm; thicker options provide better insulation but are slightly more expensive.
  • CVSIC Recommendation: For high-temperature furnaces, select 25–50 mm; for low-temperature pipelines, use 6–13 mm. Precise calculations are required; contact CVSIC for free thickness recommendations!

4. Matching Application Scenarios

  • Industrial Furnaces: CV1350–CV1600, high-temperature resistant and stable.
  • Household Appliances: CV1050 or CV1260, economical and practical.
  • Aerospace/New Energy: CV1430-CV1600, meets extreme requirements.
  • CVSIC Services: Custom cutting and design available to ensure perfect fit for your equipment!

5. Budget and Cost-Effectiveness

  • Requirements: Balance performance and cost. CV1050 is the most economical, while CV1600 offers top-tier performance but at a slightly higher price.
  • CVSIC Advantages: Transparent wholesale pricing, multiple discounts, and guaranteed quality. Contact us for the latest quotes and bulk discounts!

FAQ

1. How to choose between CV1260 and CV1350?

CV1260 is suitable for medium to high temperatures (1260°C) and offers high cost-effectiveness; CV1350 has a higher alumina content and is suitable for higher temperatures (1350°C) and precision equipment. Try CVSIC’s free sample comparison!

2. Is higher density always better?

Not necessarily! Higher density provides stronger insulation but is heavier. Selection should balance performance and ease of installation. CVSIC can provide density test reports to help you choose the right product!

3. My furnace has significant temperature fluctuations. Which model should I choose?

CV1400 or CV1430 contain zirconia, offering superior thermal shock resistance, making them suitable for fluctuating environments. Contact CVSIC engineers to verify your selection!
