(for loose-fillinsulations).7. Sampling and Test Specimens7
19、.1 Three specimens shall be tested, unless otherwise stated in the appropriate material specification. These are to be obtainedfrom one representative package of insulation. Sampling techniques should be in accordance with Practice C390.7.2 For blanket and board products, the test specimen shall be
20、of a size that can be conveniently tested in the environmentalchamber, but not smaller than 15 by 15 cm 6 by 6 in. by the full sample thickness. For pipe insulation products, use a 15 cm6 in. length and as much of the circumference as can be conveniently tested. For loose-fill products, the test spe

22、nless otherwise specified by the appropriate material specification.8. Procedure A, for Blanket, Board, and Pipe Insulation Products8.1 If it is necessary to determine volume percent, measure the dimensions and calculate the density of the specimens using8.1.1, 8.1.2, or 8.1.3.8.1.1 For blanket prod
23、ucts, measure the length and width of the specimens using a steel rule. Measure the weight of thespecimens. Measure the thickness of the specimens by means of the depth gage as stated in Test Method C167. Calculate thedensity of the specimens.8.1.2 For board products, measure the dimensions of the s
24、pecimens using the test methods stated in Test Method C303.8.1.3 For pipe products, measure the dimensions of the specimens using the test methods stated in Test Method C302.8.1.4 Calculate the volume of the specimens. If requested, the volume may be based on the nominal thickness rather than themea
25、sured thickness, but this must be included in the report.8.2 Determine the moisture-free weight of each specimen in the manner described in 8.2.1.8.2.1 Weigh the specimen. Place the specimen in an air-circulating oven at a temperature of 102 to 121C 215 to 250F fora minimum of 2 h. (See Note 1.) Coo
26、l the specimen to room temperature in a desiccator and reweigh. Repeat the process untilsuccessive weighings agree to within 0.2 % of the specimen weight obtained in the latest weighing. Record this weight as themoisture-free weight.NOTE 1When drying at the specified temperature has been shown to ad
27、versely affect the insulation, the specimen may be dried to moisture-freeweight in a desiccator at room temperature. However, the drying time between successive weighings should then be extended to at least 24 h.8.3 Bring the specimens to a uniform temperature in an oven of not less than 60C 140F an

Then place each specimen in its own pre-weighed sample bag, seal the bag, and remove fromthe chamber. Allow the bag containing the specimens to cool
30、 to room temperature and weigh. Subtract the bag weight from theobtained weight. Record this as the specimen weight after testing.C1104/C1104M 1329. Procedure B, for Loose-Fill Insulation Products9.1 If it is necessary to determine volume percent, measure the length and width of the pre-weighed samp
31、le trays, using a steelrule. Apply the insulation at its nominal or requested thickness and density by pouring or blowing it into the sample tray.

Place the specimen in an air-circulating oven at a temperature of 102to 121C 215 to 250F for a minimum of 2 h. (See Note 1.) Place the pre-weighed lid on the sample tray, cool the specimento room temperature,
33、 and reweigh. Remove the lid and repeat the process until successive weighings agree to within 0.2 % of thespecimen weight obtained in the latest weighing. Subtract the tray weight from the total obtained weight of the tray and specimen.Record this weight as the moisture-free weight of the specimen.
