Ductwrap and Ductslab Service Temperature and Limiting Surface Temperature ROCKWOOL Ductwrap and Ductslab can be used for service temperatures of up to 230°C. The limiting outer foil face temperature is 80°C to maintain facing bond strength. ROCKWOOL Ductwrap Calculation of length The calculation to determine the length of Ductwrap required to insulate the pipe or duct is made using the formula shown below: Acoustics It is sometimes desirable to improve the acoustic insulation on ducts, especially those in which gases, fluids or particle solids are transported at high velocities. The use of...
