19、e foams have properties similar to those of vulcanizedrubber, namely, (1) the ability to be converted from a thermo-plastic to a thermosetting state by cross-linking (vulcanization)and (2) the ability to recover substantially its original shapewhen strained or elongated.3.2.2 flexible cellulara flex

Classification4.1 The types are designated below:4.1.1 Type ITubular.Grade 1 Use temperature -183 to 104C -297 to 220F.Grade 2 Use temperature -183 to 175C -297 to 350F.Grade 3 Use temperature -183 to 120C -297 to 250F.4.1.2 Type IISheet.Grade 1 Use tempera

23、meric material that does not containany leachable chlorides, fluorides or polyvinyl chloride.NOTE 2Continuous long-term exposure at or above the upper usetemperature may cause degradation in the form of loss of flexibility5. Materials5.1 These products shall be made of a homogeneous blendof natural
24、or synthetic rubber that is permitted to be modifiedwith various thermoplastic or thermosetting resins, plasticizers,modifiers, antioxidants, curatives, blowing agents and otheradditives. These products are thermoset and are not thermo-plastic in nature.5.2 These products are expanded with chemical
25、blowingagents that decompose with the application of heat. The gasesproduced by these blowing agents are similar to those found inthe atmosphere and thus the diffusion rate is not significant.These gases do not change over time and the thermal conduc-tivity of the insulation is stable over time.5.3
26、Flexible, elastomeric, cellular thermal insulations shallbe of uniform core density and have closed cells. Even thoughthese insulation materials are permitted to have a smooth skinsurface on one or both sides, they are to be consideredhomogeneous for the purposes of determining thermal perfor-mance.
