ASTM C 612 Document Information:
Title
Standard Specification for Mineral Fiber Block and Board Thermal Insulation
ASTM International
Publication Date:
May 1, 2004
Scope:
This specification covers the classification, composition, dimension,
and physical properties of
mineral fiber (rock, slag, or glass) semi-rigid and rigid board
insulation for the use on 0°F
(−18°C) cooled surfaces and on heated surfaces up to
1800°F (982°C). Specific
applications outside the maximum and minimum temperature limits shall
be agreed upon between the
supplier and the purchaser.
For satisfactory performance, properly installed protective vapor
retarder or barriers shall be
used on below ambient temperature applications to reduce movement of
moisture through or around the
insulation to the colder surface. Failure to use a vapor barrier can
lead to insulation and system
damage. Refer to Practice C 921 to aid material selection. Although
vapor retarder properties are
not part of this specification, properties required in Specification C
1136 are pertinent to
applications or performance.
The orientation of the fibers within the boards is primarily parallel
to the principal surface
(face). This specification does not cover fabricated pipe and tank
wrap insulation where the
insulation has been cut and fabricated to provide a fiber orientation
that is perpendicular to the
principal large surface (face).
This standard does not purport to provide the performance requirements
of hourly-rated fire
systems. Consult the manufacturer for the appropriate system.
The values stated in inch-pound units shall be regarded as the
standard. The SI equivalents of
inch-pound units are given in parentheses for information only and are
approximate.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
