Rigid plastic foam insulation for cryogenic application
Abstract
Mechanical and physical properties of rigid foam materials necessary for cryogenic applications are described. The following data from PVC, PUR and PMI rigid foams were determined: tensile strength, stress-strain diagram, compressive strength, specific dates of thermal conductivity, permeability to gas, and contractive behavior at low temperature. The testing methods applied are described and the results are tabulated. Efficiency data for the determination of selection principles were established.
