Design and material selection

Select ceramic fiber grade, density, product form and chamber construction from temperature, atmosphere, cycling, geometry and mechanical requirements.

02Overview

Material selection starts with the operating temperature, atmosphere, cycling, available thickness, rigidity and handling conditions. These inputs determine whether the part should be board, blanket, paper, module, a vacuum-formed shape or an engineered chamber.

03Engineering details

Choose the material from the conditions inside the furnace.

Temperature grade alone does not determine the insulation. The selection also depends on whether the part is rigid or flexible, its position in the lining, the furnace atmosphere, heat-up cycles, mechanical contact, available thickness and installation method.

Heat-up, operating hold, cool-down and cycle duration in a furnace temperature profile
01

Thermal conditions

Normal and maximum temperature, gradients, heat-up rate and cycle frequency establish the material requirements.

  • Continuous or cyclic service
  • Hot-face and backup positions
  • Local hot spots and openings
Process-gas contact, deposits and material compatibility
02

Chemical and process conditions

Atmosphere, vapors, deposits and contact materials may change the preferred grade or surface treatment.

  • Air, inert or controlled atmosphere
  • Contaminants and process carryover
  • Contact with metals or process tubes
Component height, width, installation fit and support
03

Mechanical and assembly conditions

The part must survive handling, installation, support and normal equipment movement.

  • Self-supporting or backed
  • Machined interfaces and tolerances
  • Fasteners, compression and joints

Temperature grades and material-form selection

SYNTHE supplies grades from 1260 to 1900 across applicable board, blanket, paper, module, formed-part and chamber constructions. Select the product form first, then specify grade, density, dimensions and processing.

08Technical FAQ

Material and construction selection questions.

01Is temperature grade enough to specify a product?+

No. Also specify product form, density, thickness, atmosphere, cycling, geometry, contact and handling requirements.

02Is 1900 grade available?+

Yes. The 1900 grade is available, with maximum service temperature up to 1800°C depending on product form and conditions.

03Can non-standard density be supplied?+

Yes. Special density is available when handling, machining, strength or thermal behavior requires a different configuration.
