Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.e1NOTE6.1.2 was editorially updated in June 2008.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers the classification, composition,and physical propert
3、ies of flexible fibrous glass insulation foruse in metal building roofs and walls.1.2 The basic insulation blanket is designed to be post-processed by a laminating process that applies an adhesivebonded facing.1.3 The thermal values measured in accordance with thisspecification for both pre-processe
4、d and post-processed insu-lation are for the insulation only and do not include the effectsof air-film surface resistance, changes in mean temperature, orcompression of insulation at the framing members of thebuilding, through metal conductance of fasteners and otherparallel heat-transfer paths due
5、to design or installation tech-niques.1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address a
6、ll 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-bility of regulatory requirements prior to use.2.
