4、aser.1.2 This specification only covers “polyurethane modifiedpolyisocyanurate” thermal insulation which is commonly re-ferred to as “polyisocyanurate” thermal insulation. This stan-dard does not encompass all polyurethane modified materials.Polyurethane modified polyisocyanurate and other polyure-t
5、hane materials are similar, but the materials will performdifferently under some service conditions.1.3 This standard is designed as a material specification, nota design document. Physical property requirements vary byapplication and temperature. At temperatures below -70F(-51C) the physical proper
6、ties of the polyisocyanurate insula-tion at the service temperature are of particular importance.Below -70F (-51C) the manufacturer and the purchaser mustagree on what additional cold temperature performance prop-erties are required to determine if the material can functionadequately for the particu
7、lar application.1.4 This standard addresses requirements of unfaced pre-formed rigid cellular polyisocyanurate thermal insulationmanufactured using blowing agents with an ozone depletionpotential of 0 (ODP 0).1.5 When adopted by an authority having jurisdiction, codesthat address fire properties in
8、many applications regulate theuse of the thermal insulation materials covered by this speci-fication. Fire properties are controlled by job, project, or otherspecifications where codes or government regulations do notapply.1.6 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The
9、values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to
10、establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.
