2. Ceramic-impregnated fabric - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic-impregnated_fabric

   Ceramic fabric's industrial uses include furnace linings, furnace zone dividers, door seals, tube seals, gaskets, and expansion joints. In addition to being an effective thermal insulator, these fabrics do not shrink or elongate with high temperature changes, making them useful for industrial uses that involve high temperatures.

3. Knob-and-tube wiring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knob-and-tube_wiring

   Other ceramic pieces would typically be used as a junction point between the wiring system proper, and the more flexible cloth-clad wiring found in light fixtures or other permanent, hard-wired devices. When a generic power outlet was desired, the wiring could run directly into the junction box through a tube of protective loom and a ceramic ...

4. Ultra-high temperature ceramic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-high_temperature_ceramic

   The stoichiometric nitrogen content can be varied in these complexes based on the synthetic technique utilized; different nitrogen content will give different properties to the material, such as how if x exceeds 1.2 in ZrNx, a new optically transparent and electrically insulating phase appears to form. Ceramic borides such as HfB 2 and ZrB 2 ...

5. Ceramic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic

   Ceramic material is an inorganic, metallic oxide, nitride, or carbide material. Some elements, such as carbon or silicon, may be considered ceramics. Ceramic materials are brittle, hard, strong in compression, and weak in shearing and tension. They withstand the chemical erosion that occurs in other materials subjected to acidic or caustic ...

6. Thermal insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_insulation

   Thermal insulation is the reduction of heat transfer (i.e., the transfer of thermal energy between objects of differing temperature) between objects in thermal contact or in range of radiative influence. Thermal insulation can be achieved with specially engineered methods or processes, as well as with suitable object shapes and materials.

7. Clothing insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clothing_insulation

   Clothing insulation is correlated with outdoor air temperature, indoor operative temperatures, relative humidity and also by the presence of a dress code in the environment in question. Recent studies have developed dynamic predictive clothing insulation models that allow more precise thermal comfort calculation, energy simulation, HVAC sizing ...
