K-ROCK K-FLEX PRO High Temperature Foil Backed Pipe Insulation

Description

Technical Data

• Maximum service temperature – 600 deg C (EN 14706)
• Thermal conductivity λ W/(m•K), +50 °C = 0.039; +100 °C = 0,046; +150 °C = 0,056; +200 °C = 0,067; +250 °C = 0,081; +300 °C = 0,096; +350 °C = 0,115; +400 °C = 0,135 (EN ISO 8497)
• Water absorption – WS01 (≤ 1.00 kg/m2)
• Fire rating – Euroclass A2L-s1, d0 (non combustible with very limited contribution to fire)
• Material – moulded rock wool in various pipe diameter and thicknesses

Benefits

• High thermal and acoustic insulation.
• Totally non-combustible, completely fire safe.
• Will not absorb water.
• Durable. Not easily damaged in storage, during transport or on site when installing.
• Long product life. Will not age.
• Environmentally safe. Made from naturally occurring minerals.
• Chemically inert. Approximate pH value of 7 so no need to bore-coat.

Description

Foil backed Pipe Insulation consists of strong and yet lightweight pre-formed ‘snap on’ sections engineered from non-combustible mineral wool containing special water repellent additives.

Foil Backed Pipe Insulation has a factory-applied reinforced aluminium foil covering incorporating a self-adhesive overlap. This helps to provide effective vapour control finish, allowing use on pipes operating at below ambient temperatures.

Foil Backed Pipe Insulation is chemically inert (approximate pH value of 7) and will not cause corrosion of metal pipework. There is no necessity for bore coated sections. Therefore, there is no need for special re-coating measures on cut pieces at bends and elbows.

Standards

Foil backed Pipe Insulation is manufactured under Quality Management Standard EN ISO 9001: 2000.

It can be used in accordance with the performance requirements and application standards of BS5422: 2009 ‘Method for specifying thermal insulating materials on pipes, ductwork and equipment’. (In the range -40 to +700°C)

BS 5970: 2009 ‘Codes of practice for the thermal insulation of pipework and equipment’. (In the range -100 to +870°C)

Service Temperature

Foil backed Pipe Insulation can be used on pipework with continuous service temperatures of 250°C and over. For service temperatures in the range 250°C to 500°C, additional technical design advice is needed.  The temperature of the outer aluminium foil should not exceed 80°C.

Durability

Odourless, inert and fully compatible with all standard pipework services and components.

Will not accelerate corrosion with steel, copper or aluminium.
