Abstract

The thermophysical characteristics of sewing mats made of domestically produced high-temperature textile materials are investigated. A mathematical model has been developed for the passage of a heat front through samples in the operating temperature range of the tested material under conditions simulating operation in the construction of high-temperature furnaces. The experimental conditions correspond to the use of the material as thermal insulation for heat-treatment equipment. The test results of sewing mats of various densities under one-sided heating conditions are presented and the simulation results are compared with experimental data.
