Products having a Grade B designation are designed to be used witha heat-up schedule. Failure to use a heat-up schedule with Grade Bproducts
22、may lead to an exothermic reaction. This is dependent onthickness and temperature. Consult the manufacturer or manufacturersliterature for special heat rate considerations.4.2 Binder decomposition at elevated temperature may be alimiting factor in certain applications. Consult the manufac-turer rega
23、rding special heat rate considerations.5. Materials and Manufacturer5.1 Composition The mineral fiber insulation for pipesshall be manufactured from mineral substance such as rock,slag, or glass, processed from a molten state into fibrous formwith binder. Asbestos shall not be used as an ingredient
24、orcomponent part. Some products may also contain adhesive.5.2 Jackets (Facings)The user of this specification has theoption to specify that the insulation be jacketed.NOTE 2The user is advised that the maximum use temperature offactory-applied facings and adhesives may be lower than the maximumuse t
25、emperature of the insulation. The specifier shall ensure that sufficientinsulation thickness is installed so none of these accessory items (facingsand adhesives) are exposed to temperatures above their maximum usetemperature. The products covered by this standard are predominantlyinorganic in nature
26、. Organic facings, adhesives and binders are also usedin the construction of these products. The resulting composite thereforecould have increased combustibility.6.

28、(111C).6.3 Non-fibrous (Shot) Content:6.3.1 The non-fibrous content of a rock- or slag-basedproduct shall not exceed 30 % by weight.6.4 For Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) accep-tance, materials must also comply with Supplemental Require-ments. See Annex A1 of this standard.7. Standard Shapes, Si

Dataobtained on flat samples, using Test Method C 177, shall not beused to state compliance with this specification.11.1.3.2 Practice C 1058 may be
36、 used to obtain recom-mended test temperature combinations for testing purposes.11.1.3.3 As specified in C 1045, the range of test conditionsmust include at least one test where the hot surface temperatureis greater than, or equal to, the hot limit of the temperaturerange of desired data and at leas
37、t one test where the coldsurface temperature is less than, or equal to, the cold limit ofthe temperature range desired. At least two additional testsshall be distributed somewhat evenly over the rest of thetemperature range.11.1.3.4 Final analysis of the thermal data shall be con-ducted in accordanc
38、e with C 1045 to generate a thermalconductivity versus temperature relationship for the specimen.11.1.3.5 The final step of C 1045 analysis is to calculate thethermal conductivity using the equations generated at a set ofmean temperatures for comparison to thespecification.WarningWhile it is recomme
39、nded that thespecification data be presented as thermal conductivity versustemperature, several existing specifications may contain meantemperature data from tests conducted at specific hot and coldsurface temperatures. In these cases, the conductivity as afunction of temperature from the C 1045 ana

To insure that the data is compatible, a C 680analysis, using the thermal conductivity versus temperaturerelationship from C 1045 and the specific hot and cold surfacetemperatures, is required to determine the effective thermalconductivity for comparison to the sp
