Terminology3.1 GeneralTerminology C 168 shall be considered asapplicable to the terms used in this test method.4. Summary of Test Metho

6、d4.1 The material shall be tested in the “dry” condition or inthe “as manufactured and received” condition (see Note 1) butthe procedure must be consistent with that as given in thematerial specification. If the material is to be tested in the “dry”condition it shall be dried to constant mass. If th

7、e materialspecification does not give conditioning instructions, a condi-tioning environment of 23C 6 2C and 50 6 5 % relativehumidity per Practice C 870 shall be used. From the measuredmass and measured dimensions, the density of the product iscalculated.NOTE 1Some materials may contain volatiles s

8、uch as moisture whenmanufactured or shipped, or both.5. Significance and Use5.1 Dimensional measurements of the product thermal in-sulation are essential in determining compliance of a productwith specification limits. Dimensional measurements of vari-ous test specimens are also required by the spec

9、ific testmethod.5.2 Density measurements of the product insulation areuseful in determining compliance of a product with specifica-tion limits, and in providing a relative gage of product weights.For any one kind of insulation, some important physical andmechanical properties, such as thermal conduc

10、tivity, heatcapacity, strength, etc., bear a specific relationship with itsdensity. In order to design for equipment supports, check thematerial for the “as received density” where the moisturecontent of the product as received and then installed mayconsequential.6.

Test Specimen7.1 The test specimens shall be of commercial size when-ever practicable, but shall not be less than 100 mm wide by 200mm long, except if required by a specific test method. Thesa

17、mple size shall be determined in accordance with thematerial specification. If not specified there, then in accordancewith Practice C 390 test at least five specimens.7.2 When less than full commercial size pieces are testedends and sides shall be trimmed by cutting or fabricating togive a block wit

Conditioning8.1 If the specimens are to be conditioned, condition thespecimens to constant mass in accordance with Practice C 870.Consult the materials specification for any specific condition-ing requirements.8.2 If the specimen

19、s are not to be conditioned, test as soonas possible.9. Procedure9.1 After conditioning, measure the width and length of thespecimen to the nearest 1 mm unless different tolerances aregiven in the material specification, or there are differentmeasurement tolerances within a specific test method to b

21、C, and D. The length and width shall bemeasured in at least two locations. At approximately along theA-B and C-D lines for the width and the A-D and B-C lines forthe length. For specimens larger than 1 m2in area, there shallbe an additional two thickness measurements for each addi-tional square mete

22、r in size. These would be in the centralsection of the specimen as shown by locations E and F. Thereshall also be an additional length or width measurement foreach additional meter increase in length or width over 1 mlong. These measurement positions shall be spaced approxi-mately equally within the
