Insulating refractory products - Terminology, classification and methods of test for high temperature insulation wool products

This European Standard defines terms for those refractory products and materials which are classed as high temperature insulation wools (HTIW). It also establishes the classification of insulating refractory products made from HTIW and specifies methods for determining the thickness, bulk density, resilience, permanent linear change and tensile strength of HTIW products.
It applies to HTIW bulk wool, blankets, felts, mats, boards, pre-formed shapes and papers, with the exception of products delivered in a wet state.
Further test procedures are in development and will be included once they have been ratified. These include a 3 point bend test for boards, a length weighted fibre diameter measurement technique by Scanning Electron Microscope, shot content measurement (dry and wet methods) and thermal conductivity measurement. There is a shot content method described in BS ISO 10635 and there is a thermal conductivity technique described in ASTM C201.

3.1.7
resilience
ability of HTIW products to spring back after being compressed to 50 % of their initial thickness
3.1.8
tensile strength
apparent maximum tensile stress that the material can withstand
NOTE It is expressed in Pascals (Pa). It is given together with the bulk density determined by subclause 7.2
3.2 Materials and products made from high temperature insulation wool (HTIW)
3.2.1
bulk wool
wool in the state as produced before conversion into other products
NOTE 1 Bulk wool is available as:
a) wool with long fibres with or without finish (lubricant);
b) wool with chopped fibres with variable length due to their application.
NOTE 2 Lubricant is added to the fibres to keep them flexible for further processing the wool products. Typically, the
wool products are thermally treated after production to remove the lubricant.
3.2.2
mat
flexible, non-needled wool without further bonding agent
3.2.3
blanket
flexible, needled mat, free of binders, with nominally determined dimensions
NOTE The mat is processed with barbed felt needles. In consequence, the product becomes denser and stronger.
3.2.4
felt
flexible, non-needled product with further bonding agents
3.2.5
module
blanket formed into thick sections by needling, stacking or folding sheets, compressed to a higher density and
typically supplied with integral anchoring systems
3 3
NOTE Typically, the bulk density of modules is between 160 kg/m and 300 kg/m . Modules can be of a complex
shape.
3.2.6
paper
flexible insulating material formed on a paper-making machine
NOTE Typically, thin shaped HTIW products are kept together by an organic binder (e.g. latex).
3.2.7
board
rigid flat sheet, usually containing inorganic and/or organic binders, produced by a wet process fired or unfired

SIST EN 1094-1:2008
EN 1094-1:2008 (E)
3.2.8
pre-formed product and shapes
rigid shape with the addition of inorganic and/or organic binders, fired or unfired
NOTE Depending on their production process pre-formed products are subdivided into:
a) vacuum shaped products;
b) mixed products wherein different types of HTIW but also refractory fillers are put together;
c) plastic shaped products;
d) laminated pre-formed products wherein boards, paper or felts are stuck together (on top of each other or
rolled);
e) die-cut products made of blankets, boards or paper.
3.2.9
yarn
bulk HTIW twisted into a continuous thread, with or without the addition of reinforcing filaments
3.2.10
rope
yarn twisted to a rope, with or without reinforcing
NOTE Ropes can be reinforced by glass or metal fibres.
3.2.11
cloth
yarn woven to cloth
3.2.12
mouldable/castable/mastic product
product used for moulding, casting or repairs.
NOTE Mouldable products of HTIW are, for example, added in different proportions to unshaped refractory products
as defined in EN 1402-1.
4 Classification temperature
The product is classified according to the temperature at which the shrinkage obtained by the permanent
linear change in dimensions test, as described in subclause 7.4, does not exceed a given value.
According to the nature of the product, the shrinkage value shall not exceed:
 2 % for boards and preformed shapes;
 4 % for blankets, felts, mats and papers.
The temperature shall be reported to the nearest 50°C, starting at 850°C and going up to 1 800°C in 50°C
increments.
NOTE Classification temperature does not imply that the product can be used continuously at this temperature. In
practice maximum continuous use temperature for amorphous HTIWs will typically be approximately 100°C to 150°C lower
than the classification temperature. Polycrystalline wool can usually be used up to its classification temperature. The
atmosphere, application (e.g. single use vs. extended) and contact with other substances should all be considered
carefully when selecting the type of high temperature insulation wool for a particular application.

5 Number of test pieces
The number of items to be tested shall be determined by agreement between the parties. The number of test
pieces per item shall be determined in accordance with Table 5.
6 Preparation of test pieces
When the material to be tested is in a roll form, any compressed material at the extreme ends shall be
excluded. A strip shall be cut perpendicular to the length across the full material width, of sufficient size for the
different tests planned.
From the strip, cut the required number of test pieces of required dimensions, using a template, a sharp knife,
a saw, or other method which will not damage the sample. Avoid excess pressure as this may crush the
product.

7.1 Determination of the measured thickness
7.1.1 General
Because of packing, transport and storage, flexible HTIW products often show differences between measured
and nominal thickness as given by the manufacturer.
7.1.2 Principle
Determination of the measured thickness of a product subjected to a compressive stress which depends on its
nominal bulk density.

In consequence, the product becomes denser and stronger. 3.2.4 felt flexible, non-needled product with further bonding agents 3.2.5 module blanket formed into thick sections either by needling, stacking or folding sheets, compressed to a higher density and typically supplied either with integral anchoring systems NOTE Typically, the bulk density of modules is between 160 kg/m3 and 300 kg/m3. Modules can be of a complex shape. 3.2.6 paper flexible insulating material formed on a paper-making machine NOTE Typically, thin shaped HTIW products are kept together by an organic binder (e.g. latex). 3.2.7 board rigid flat sheet, usually containing inorganic and/or organic binders, produced by a wet process fired or unfired



prEN 1094-1:2008 (E) 7 3.2.8 pre-formed product and shapes rigid shape with the addition of inorganic and/or organic binders, fired or unfired NOTE Depending on their production process pre-formed products are subdivided into: a) vacuum shaped products; b) mixed products wherein different types of HTIW but also refractory fillers are put together; c) plastic shaped products; d) laminated pre-formed products wherein boards, paper or felts are stuck together (on top of each other or rolled); e) die-cut products made of blankets, boards or paper. 3.2.9 yarn bulk HTIW twisted into a continuous thread, with or without the addition of reinforcing filaments 3.2.10 rope yarn twisted to a rope, with or without reinforcing NOTE Ropes can be reinforced by glass or metal fibres. 3.2.11 cloth yarn woven to cloth 3.2.12 mouldable/castable/mastic product product used for moulding, casting or repairs. NOTE mouldable products of HTIW are, for example, added in different proportions to unshaped refractory products as defined in EN 1402-1. 4 Classification Temperature The product is classified according to the temperature at which the shrinkage obtained by the permanent linear change in dimensions test, as described in subclause 7.4, does not exceed a given value.
According to the nature of the product, the shrinkage value shall not exceed:  2 % for boards and preformed shapes;  4 % for blankets, felts, mats and papers. The temperature shall be reported to the nearest 50°C, starting at 850°C and going up to 1 800°C
in 50°C increments. NOTE Classification temperature does not imply that the product can be used continuously at this temperature. In practice maximum continuous use temperature for amorphous HTIWs will typically be approximately 100°C to 150°C lower than the classification temperature. Polycrystalline wool can usually be used up to its classification temperature. The atmosphere, application (e.g. single use vs. extended) and contact with other substances should all be considered carefully when selecting the type of high temperature insulation wool for a particular application.

prEN 1094-1:2008 (E) 9 5 Number of test pieces The number of items to be tested shall be determined by agreement between the parties. The number of test pieces per item shall be determined in accordance with Table 5. 6 Preparation of test pieces When the material to be tested is in a roll form, any compressed material at the extreme ends shall be excluded. A strip shall be cut perpendicular to the length across the full material width, of sufficient size for the different tests planned. From the strip, cut the required number of test pieces of required dimensions, using a template, a sharp knife, a saw, or other method which will not damage the sample. Avoid excess pressure as this may crush the product.

7 Test methods 7.1 Determination of the measured thickness 7.1.1 General Because of packing, transport and storage, flexible HTIW products often show differences between measured and nominal thickness as given by the manufacturer. 7.1.2 Principle Determination of the measured thickness of a product subjected to a compressive stress which depends on its nominal bulk density. There are two methods, of which the dial gauge comparator method (7.1.4) is the referee method and is the only method applicable to HTIW paper.



prEN 1094-1:2008 (E) 10 7.1.3 Test piece dimensions The size of the test piece shall be such that the disc entirely rests on it, and shall be at least 100 mm x 100 mm. 7.1.4 Dial gauge comparator method 7.1.4.1 Apparatus The apparatus consists of a machined reference plate, a dial gauge comparator and its base and a metallic disc, 75 mm in diameter. The apparatus is capable of applying a 350 Pa ± 7 Pa compressive stress to products with a nominal bulk density less than 96 kg/m3 and a 725 Pa ± 15 Pa compressive stress to products with a nominal bulk density equal to or higher than 96 kg/m3. For HTIW papers, except AES paper, carry out the measurement under a compressive stress
of 50 ± 1 kPa
For AES paper a compressive stress of
10 ± 1 kPa shall be used with a disc of 12,5 mm diameter. 7.1.4.2 Procedure Put the test piece on the reference plate and let the disc rest on the product, care being taken not to induce additional pressure. Measure the thickness at the disc centre with respect to the reference plate and to the nearest ± 0,1 mm. 7.1.5 The needle method 7.1.5.1 Apparatus The apparatus consists of a machined reference plate, and a measuring device made up of a needle 150 mm ± 1 mm in length and 3 mm in diameter, and a metallic disc 75 mm in diameter which slides along the needle and is capable of being secured in position, with a dial gauge comparator and a thickness gauge. The stress determined by the mass of the disc and of its securing device shall not exceed 350 Pa ± 7 Pa for products with a nominal bulk density less than 96 kg/m3 and 725 Pa ± 15 Pa for products with a nominal bulk density equal to or higher than 96 kg/m3. 7.1.5.2 Procedure Put the product to be measured on the reference plate, punch it with the needle and remove the needle. For the measurement, bring back the needle point in contact with the reference plate and lower the disc on to the surface of the product, care being taken not to induce additional pressure. Secure the disc in position, remove the whole device and measure the distance between the needle point and the disc to the nearest 0,1 mm. 7.1.6 Test
