1、Designation: C552 15Standard Specification forCellular Glass Thermal Insulation1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C552; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parent
2、heses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers the composition, sizes,dimensions, and
3、physical properties of cellular glass thermalinsulation intended for use on surfaces operating at tempera-tures between 450 and 800F (268 and 427C). It is possiblethat special fabrication or techniques for pipe insulation, orboth, will be required for application in the temperature rangefrom 250 to
4、800F (121 to 427C). Contact the manufacturerfor recommendations regarding fabrication and applicationprocedures for use in this temperature range. For specificapplications, the actual temperature limits shall be agreed uponbetween the manufacturer and the purchaser.1.2 It is anticipated that single-
5、layer pipe insulation in halfsections or the inner layer of a multilayer system have thepotential to exhibit stress cracks above 250F (122C).1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provi
6、ded for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.4 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 establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bilit
7、y of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.
