8、erial to be tested is conditioned to constant weight. The density of the pipe insulation is calculated from theconditioned mass and measured dimensions.5. Significance and Use5.1 Density measurements of preformed pipe insulation are useful in determining compliance of a product with specificationlim
9、its and in providing a relative gage of product weights. For any one kind of insulation some important physical and mechanicalproperties, such as thermal conductivity, heat capacity, strength, etc., bear a specific relationship with its density; however, on adensity basis, these properties are not d
10、irectly comparable with those for other kinds of material.1 This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C16 on Thermal Insulation and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee C16.32 on MechanicalProperties.Current edition approved March 1, 2007Nov. 1, 2013.

34、dure B)Both the multi-laboratory and single-operator coefficients of variation were found to be 1.3 %(Note 3).
