ASTM Committee C-16 on Thermal Insulation sponsored the Fourth Symposium on Insulation Materials: Testing and Applications in Charleston, South Carolina on 21-22 October 2002. This STP contains the proceeding from that symposium.
Papers in the collection cover topics such as:
- thermal conductivity
- ISO-8302
- Vacuum Guarded Hot-Plate (VGHP)
- thermal properties of construction products
- ASTM C1363
- hot-box test data
- wall R-value
- thermal bridges
- ASTM Practice for Calculation of Thermal Transmission Properties under Steady-State Conditions (C 1045)
- piping insulation
- thermal transmittance
- U-factor fenestration system
- calibration procedures
- ASTM Test Method for Steady-State Heat Transfer Properties of Horizontal Pipe Insulation (C 335)
- ASTM Test Method for Steady-State Heat Transfer Properties of Pipe Insulation Installed Vertically (C 1033)
- radiative-conductive heat transfer theory (RCHT)
- sugarcane fiber
- hygrothermal analyses
- Polyisocyanurate Foam Insulation
- molded expanded polystyrene (EPS)
- closed-cell plastic foams
- loose-fill insulation
The papers in this STP will be of interest to researchers and engineers involved in the development, testing, specification, and use of insulation materials. The papers provide an understanding of various round-robin testing activities so that readers can understand the strengths and weaknesses of tests and by extrapolation the materials tested using these techniques.
