PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide: a protection/insulation member which uses an inorganic fiber molded body formed by impregnating an inorganic fiber needle blanket, being an excellent scale resistant material, with an inorganic sol and dehydrating the material; and especially the inorganic fiber molded body serving as an insulation member that is excellent in application to a member to be protected having a substantially columnar shape or the like, for example, with blocked upper and lower parts.SOLUTION: An inorganic fiber molded body 10 is in a substantially half cylindrical shape formed by splitting a cylinder in halves along a first parting plane 11 and a second parting plane 12 in a cylindrical axis direction. An engaging salient 13 extends to a top edge of the inorganic fiber molded body from a top edge of the second parting plane 12, and an engaging recess part 14 is formed between the engaging salient 13 and the first parting plane 11. Two inorganic fiber molded bodies 10, 10 are engaged to be a cylindrical insulation material. |
