how good an insulator is asbestos? (thermal conductivity 0.15 W/ m K). I am trying to determine the thickness of insulation required to reduce the heat loss of a spherical container by half. The answer I calculated it to be is 0.2cm which to me doesn't seem right (too small?) but having no experience with asbestos, it may be correct?
