Service temperatures below 120°C (248°F)
A one layer system is sufficient for this temperature range. A double layer system should be applied when the recommended insulation thickness is thicker than the maximum available thickness.
Service temperatures from 120°C to 430°C (248°F to 806°F)
A single or double layer system is generally sufficient for this temperature range.
