Workmanship, Finish and Appearance8.1 There shall be no defects in materials or workmanshipthat will affect the required performance of the vapor retarder.8.2 There shall be no defects that adversely affect theappearance of the va
21、por retarder.8.3 There shall be no defects that would affect ability of userto process material.9. Significance and Use9.1 Entrapment of water in thermal insulation caused bycondensation of water vapor that has penetrated into theinsulation is detrimental to the thermal resistance of theinsulation.
22、For this reason, in certain installations wheretemperature and moisture conditions have the potential tocreate a vapor driving force toward the insulation, a deterrentto the passage of such vapor into the installed insulation needsto be provided. This is the primary function of the vaporretarder.9.2
23、 In addition to the function stated in 9.1, a vapor retarderhas the potential to provide physical protection and addedstrength to the insulation system.9.3 This specification is used to specify material by physicalproperty requirements that address the above prerequisites. Thedesigner of an insulati
24、on system, after determining the degreeof protection needed for the insulation, can use this specifica-tion to specify the appropriate type of vapor retarder when oneis required.10.

Sampling, Inspection, and Rejection of DefectiveMaterial11.1 A lot of material shall be considered to be the largestquantity of a specific vapor retarder received by the purchaserunder one order, or, it so designated by the manufacturer, thatquantity of products identified
35、as the particular lot.11.2 Aunit of material shall be considered to be the smallestpackaged quantity of vapor retarder within a lot, that is, oneroll in a lot of rolls or one bundle of sheets in a lot of sheetedmaterial.11.3 Inspection shall consist of any tests for specificationconformance the user
36、 deems necessary. Due to the impracti-cality of performing some tests on an inspection basis, the useris entitled to request certification to specific test requirements.11.4 Incoming lots shall be sampled at a minimum rate of5 % of units received for inspection.11.5 If any nonconformance to specific
37、ation is detectedwithin the 5 % sample, increase sampling to 10 % of the lot.11.6 If 50 % or more of the 10 % sampled units is deter-mined to be defective, the lot shall be considered unacceptable.11.7 It shall be left to the discretion of the user whether tocontinue sampling for acceptable material
38、. In any case, unitsfound defective shall be considered unacceptable and rejected.12. Certification12.1 When specified in the purchaser order or contract, thepurchaser shall be furnished certification that samples repre-senting each lot have been either tested or inspected as directedin this specifi
39、cation and the requirements have been met. Whenspecified in the purchaser order or contract, a report of theresults shall be furnished.12.2 Qualification RequirementsThe following require-ments are generally designated for initial product qualification:12.2.1 Permeance,12.2.2 Surface burning charact

PERMEANCE UNDER OTHER THAN STANDARD TEST CONDITIONSX1.1 Transmission of water vapor through a vapor retarderis induced by a vapor pressure differential between sides of thevapor retarder, caused by different condit
45、ions of relativehumidity from side to side.X1.2 The resistance of materials to the passage of watermay change under varying vapor driving conditions, such ashigher or lower temperatures, higher or lower relative humiditydifferentials, or like differentials at different ranges (that is,50/0 % RH as o
46、pposed to 75/25 %RH).X1.3 For purposes of this specification, a standard testcondition is used, that of 73F (23C) with 50 % relativehumidity on one side and 0 % relative humidity on the other.X1.4 It is conceivable that a material that meets a require-ment for permeance under the test conditions of
47、the specifica-tion may not be adequate under actual conditions of use.X1.5 Since varying test conditions or conditions of use mayaffect performance (in this or any physical testing), a user maydeem it necessary to evaluate a vapor retarder for permeanceunder conditions more closely approximating act
48、ual serviceconditions.X1.6 Considerations of such aspects as performance underconditions other than standard test conditions must be agreedupon between user and supplier and do not constitute a part ofthis specification.ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent right
49、s asserted in connection with any item mentionedin this standard. Users of this standard are expressly advised that determination of the validity of any such patent rights, and the riskof infringement of such rights, are entirely their own responsibility.This standard is subject to revision at any time by the responsible technical committee and must be reviewed every five years andif not revised, either reapproved or withdrawn.
