Calcium Silicate Board is a versatile building material that has excellent fire and frost resistance. It is produced using a forming process. The materials used in making it are a calcareous substance, reinforcing fibers, and silica. These materials are then subjected to a curing reaction by saturated water vapor in a pressure container. Its bulk specific gravity ranges from 0.7 to 1.2.
CaO content
Calcium silicate boards are a new type of environmentally friendly building material. These boards are made from a mixture of calcium and silicon and are pre-nurtured and autoclave-cured. They have high strength, deformation and impact resistance. These qualities have made them popular among building engineers and many experts.
Calcium silicate boards contain about 10% water because they are highly hygroscopic. Fire can destroy them through cracks or partial delamination. This is an excellent characteristic for a fire-resistant board. Calcium silicate boards are tested to meet British standards 476 Parts 20 and 22 and JIS A1304.
CaO content on flexural strength
The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effects of different CaO content levels in a calcium silicate board on its flexural strength. The experimental process involved the use of a carbide slag-coal-based solid waste gelling system to produce a high-strength, pure calcium silicate board. The main mineral constituents of the calcium silicate board were characterized using thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC) and X-ray diffraction. XRD and thermogravimetry were used to analyze the variation of calcium silicate board's strength and durability. The carbide slag, fly ash, and silica fume were mixed in a mass ratio of 1:1 to produce the mixed gelling system.
This material was used to produce high-strength composite materials. Among the physical properties of calcium silicate composite materials, flexural strength is a key factor. In addition, the high-strength fiber-reinforced calcium silicate board has excellent processability and water absorption. It is also resistant to fire and has a high degree of durability. Its properties allow it to be used in various construction applications, including exterior and interior walls, floor surfaces, and composite products.
CaO content on fire resistance
The effect of CaO content of calcium silicate board on the fire resistance of a building is largely determined by the strength of the underlying material. This material is typically comprised of between 30 and 40 kg/m2. The CaO content also determines the mechanical strength of the material, which can be provided by reinforcing fibers such as alkali-resistant glass fibers, pulp, or organic synthetic fibers such as aramid and polypropylene.
The CaO content of a calcium silicate board influences the fire resistance by ensuring that the material's strength is not diminished during a fire. The CaO content of a board's core should be high enough to ensure that it resists the fire. However, if the CaO content is too high, it may be insufficient to withstand fire conditions.
In this study, the CaO content of a calcium silicate board is evaluated by heating the board to 1,000degC for three hours, and then cooling it to room temperature. The results of the evaluation are presented in Tables 2 and 3.
CaO content on frost resistance
The influence of CaO content in calcium silicate boards (CCSBs) on frost resistance was investigated in this study. CCSBs were made from four industrial solid wastes with a CaO content of 3% and Na2SiO3 content of 9%. They were tested for flexural strength, water absorption, and density, as well as frost resistance. The results confirmed that CCSBs have adequate frost resistance and meet class III of the DI.5 series of standards.
CaO content has a large effect on the flexural strength of CCSB. Board billets with 3% CaO content have the greatest flexural strength. When the CaO content increases to 12%, it becomes more difficult to form billets with the desired strength. The high CaO content causes the formation of an excess of Ca(OH)2 crystal, which dissolves during the autoclave process. This leads to holes in the product.
Calcium silicate is also an excellent insulation material for interior walls. Its porous nature allows it to retain heat and is suitable for temperatures of up to 1200 degF. It is widely available in preformed shapes and fittings and has an excellent thermal conductivity of 0.50 BTU/ft.2-degR. It has a density of 14.5 lb/ft3. However, its insulating properties are reduced when wet. The best way to maintain its insulating properties is to use lightweight insulating cement over the joints between the fittings.
