Regarding insulation thickness and thermal conductivity

2015-10-08View Original

Thread Content

Since the thermal conductivity of the material used is high, does that mean the insulation thickness needs to be greater?

Yes. The thermal conductivity refers to the amount of heat transferred per second (1 second) through an area of 1 square meter in a material 1 meter thick, when there is a temperature difference of 1 degree (K, °C) between its two surfaces, under conditions of steady heat transfer; its unit is watts per meter·degree. In simple terms, the thermal conductivity refers to a material’s ability to conduct heat. The higher the thermal conductivity, the more heat the material can transfer, and therefore a thicker insulation layer is required.

To achieve the same insulation effect, a greater thickness is required

Generally speaking, when choosing insulation materials with a higher thermal conductivity, the smaller the pipe diameter, the thicker the insulation layer must be~~

A high thermal conductivity means that, under the same requirements, the thickness of the insulation layer needed will be greater

Yes, indeed. A high thermal conductivity means that, under the same requirements, the thickness of the insulation layer needed will be greater. YT insulation material [Floral Velvet YT insulation material] possesses properties such as heat insulation, fire resistance, light weight, sound insulation, water resistance, crack resistance, delamination resistance, and falling-off resistance. It can be used directly on the base wall, without the need for mesh fabric or anchors (no heat bridges are formed), and no crack-resistant mortar is required. ★Save labor costs and money★http://bbsfile.co188.com/forum/2018/06/25/2/15299036089266722462.jpg
