Refractory rope

Refractory rope

Refractory ropes are made of twisted or woven refractory fibers. These ropes have two round and rectangular cross sections that have the ability to withstand the pressure applied, excellent resistance to high temperatures, acceptable mechanical strength and wear resistance and Is a stretch.

Refractory rope called refractory yarn is used to insulate fireplaces and thermal stoves.

Insulation of industrial and domestic gas stoves, production of fireproof clothing and equipment, manufacturing of packing, production of expansion joints and production of thermal gaskets are other popular applications of this product.

Refractory yarns have good properties that to increase these properties, the yarns are impregnated with stainless steel wire or metal wire to have more strength and higher mechanical strength.

Sometimes it can even be covered with a layer of silicone oil, which makes it very lubricating.

Similar features of fireproof ropes are:

Ability to control the pressures entered
High strength
Maintaining efficiency in different weather conditions and resistance to high temperatures
Resistance to chemical rust and corrosion, good performance in alkaline and acidic environments
Has acceptable mechanical properties
Refractory ropes are produced in two forms: twisted or woven, which is more flexible in the twisted type and has more strength in the woven type.

Refractory yarn can be used in two types of cross-section, round and rectangular, which is used in the form of thin threads in the round cross-section for the production of refractory clothes and equipment.

Refractory thread with a rectangular cross-section is used for insulation and sealing, such as sealing the parts and to prevent cooling water from entering the parts.

In this section, I will examine some of the refractory ropes:

Ceramic fiber rope: This rope has the highest thermal resistance and can withstand temperatures up to 1260 degrees Celsius; This rope is made of ceramic fibers along with fiberglass fibers that are resistant to rust and chemical corrosion.
Asbestos rope: Asbestos rope has a heat resistance of up to 550 degrees Celsius and can be used in motor homes and fully automatic factories, and its features include resistance to the penetration of water, pressure and oil.
Fiberglass rope: This rope has a heat resistance of up to 500 degrees Celsius, which can be impregnated with a layer of stainless steel wire or metal wire to strengthen the heat resistance and its strength.
