6、sulation LotsC870 Practice for Conditioning of Thermal Insulating Ma-terials3. Terminology3.1 GeneralTerminology C168 shall be considered asapplicable to the terms used in this test method.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The material shall be tested in the “dry” condition or inthe “as manufactured and

7、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 the materialspecification does not give conditioning instructions, a condi-tioning enviro

8、nment of 73F 6 4F (23C 6 2C) and 50 65 % relative humidity per Practice C870 shall be used. Fromthe measured mass and measured dimensions, the density ofthe product is calculated.NOTE 1Some materials may contain volatiles such as moisture whenmanufactured or shipped, or both.5. Significance and Use5

9、.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 specific testmethod.5.2 Density measurements of the product insulation areuseful

10、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 conductivity, heatcapacity, strength, etc., bear a specific relationship with itsde

11、nsity. 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 has thepotential to be consequential.6. Apparatus6.1 Steel measure, (ruler or tape), graduated in millimetresor better, suitable f

Ensure that thepressure exerted by this measuring plate does not exceed 0.040psi or 5psf (0.245 kPa).6.3 Pin probe

Test Specimen7.1 The test specimens shall be of commercial size when-ever practicable, but shall not be less than 4 in. wide by 8 in.long (100 mm wide by 200 mm

18、long), except if required by aspecific test method. The sample size shall be determined inaccordance with the material specification. If not specifiedthere, then in accordance with Practice C390 test at least fivespecimens.7.2 When less than full commercial size pieces are testedends and sides shall

19、 be trimmed by cutting or fabricating togive a block with parallel sides and ends with only top andbottom surfaces original.8. Conditioning8.1 If the specimens are to be conditioned, condition thespecimens to constant mass in accordance with Practice C870.Consult the materials specification for any

20、specific condition-ing requirements.8.2 If the specimens 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 differentme

21、asurement tolerances within a specific test method to beapplied.9.2 If the pin probe depth gage is used the measurementsshall be per 8.2 of Test Methods C167.9.3 The thickness shall be measured along the edges in atleast four different locations, generally near the four cornersapproximately 1-3 in.

22、(25-75 mm) from the corner, as shown inFig. 1 for locations A,B,C, and D. The length and width shallbe measured in at least two locations. At approximately alongthe A-B and C-D lines for the width and the A-D and B-C linesfor the length. For specimens larger than 10 ft2(1 m2) in area,there shall be

23、an additional two thickness measurements foreach additional 10 ft2(1 m2) in size. These would be in thecentral section of the specimen as shown by locations E and F.There shall also be an additional length or width measurementfor each additional meter increase in length or width over 3 ft(1 m) long.
