VEGAPULS 6X
1022892-EN-240312
•
Air with an oxygen content of 21 % (v/v)
Additional measures are required for operation of the VEGAPULS 6X outside these conditions.
The operation of the VEGAPULS 6X outside the above conditions is the sole responsibility of the
operator.
The thermal measurements for determining the following temperature tables were carried out for
process temperatures above +150 °C with insulation. Thermal measurements up to +150 °C were
carried out without insulation.
Data sheets of the insulation used:

General technical data SiBa 20/150a/ALU50 is a mechani-
cally bonded needlefelt based on a
mixture of endless drawn basalt -
bres and silica bres, laminated with
an aluminium foil (thickness approx.
50 µm).
It is a mechanically bonded needle-
felt based on a mixture of continuously
drawn basalt bres (approx. 70 %) and
silica bres (approx. 30 %).

For measurements with insulation, a layer thickness of 8 cm SiBa 20/150a was applied. Look-
ing from the surface of the tank, a 6 cm layer of SiBa 20/150a was rst applied. A 2 cm layer of
SiBa 20/150a/ALU50 was then nally applied on top of this layer.
