This European Standard specifies the requirements for factory made expanded perlite and exfoliated vermiculite products which are used for the thermal insulation of building equipment and industrial installations with an operating temperature in the range of approximately 0°C to + 1 300°C.
NOTE Products covered by this standard can be used below 0°C but special tests regarding the suitability of the product in the intended application are advised and manufacturers advice should be heeded in all cases.
The products are manufactured in the form of boards, pipe sections, segment, prefabricated ware and special ware.
