    How to choose a replacement cloth

    Hi Phoenix, Your assumption that S-glass is significantly stronger than E-glass is correct (the AGY website can give you actual values). It is however, much more expensive than E-glass and you will need to factor this into your calculations. As a guide, the S-glass fabric we use is approx 6...

    Best heat insulator @ 700 degrees F

    The best material I have used for high temperature insulation is Microtherm (http://www.microtherm.us). The material is rated to >1800°F so 700°F should be no problem. Ed

    insulation materials

    Paisan, The effect of porosity depends on the size of the pores, the temperature and the thermal conductivity of the material in question. The optimum insulation material will depend on the temperature range you are interested in. If you can supply more details e.g. application...

    searching for rubber coated net/mesh

    Have you thought of using a woven glass scrim? You may need a hydrophobic finish to protect it from steam damage which can occur at surprisingly low temperatures in the right/wrong conditions (we have seen it as low as 200°C)but otherwise temperature should not be a problem. The main glass...

    Paint for use at 200¦C

    Rembrandt/rustbuster1, Thanks for taking the time to reply to my question. To clear up a few areas where I was unspecific, the paint/coating I am looking for would be applied at ambient temperature and exposed to 200°C in service in a clean room environment. The paint is to be used to cover an...
