2、or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval. A superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the amountof water vapor sorbed

3、 by mineral fiber insulation exposed to ahigh-humidity atmosphere. This test method is applicable onlyto fibrous base material and binder. The results obtained by thistest method cannot be used in describing faced products, sincethe facing is not tested by using this test method.1.2 The water vapor

Values obtained as a result of this testmethod may not adequately describe the water vapor sorptioncharacteristics of materials subjected to these conditions.1.3 The values stated i

5、n either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, theinch-pound units are shown in parentheses. The values statedin each system are not exact equivalents, therefore, eachsystem must be used independently of the other.1.4 This standard does not purport t

Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 The term sorption has been adopted for this testmethod, since mineral fiber insulation may absorb

9、 water withinits bulk when viewed macroscopically, while it adsorbs wateronto individual fibers on a microscopic scale.(1) sorptionrefers to the taking up and holding of matterby other matter by various processes such as absorption andadsorption.(2) absorptionrefers to the taking up of matter in-bul

10、k byother matter; for example, the penetration of substances intothe bulk of another solid or liquid.(3) adsorptionrefers to surface retention or adhesion ofan extremely thin layer of molecules to the surfaces of solids orliquids with which they are in contact.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The insula

11、tion is dried to a constant weight and exposedto a high-humidity atmosphere for 96 h. The amount of watersorbed from the vapor phase is the difference in specimenweights, and is expressed in either weight or volume percent.5. Significance and Use5.1 The sorption of water can result in an increase in

12、 weightand a resultant potential degradation of the properties of theinsulation.6. Apparatus6.1 Air-circulating oven, capable of maintaining a tempera-ture between 102 and 121C (215 and 250F).6.2 Desiccator, with calcium chloride as a desiccant.6.3 Scale, accurate to 60.1 % of specimen weight.1This

(forloose-fill insulations)

17、.7. Sampling and Test Specimens7.1 Three specimens shall be tested, unless otherwise statedin the appropriate material specification. These are to beobtained from one representative package of insulation. Sam-pling techniques should be in accordance with Practice C 390.7.2 For blanket and board prod

18、ucts, the test specimen shallbe of a size that can be conveniently tested in the environmen-tal chamber, but not smaller than 15 by 15 cm (6 by 6 in.) bythe full sample thickness. For pipe insulation products, use a 15cm (6 in.) length and as much of the circumference as can beconveniently tested. F

19、or loose-fill products, the test specimenshall consist of sufficient quantity of the material to fill apreweighed container measuring at least 15 by 15 cm (6 by 6in.), to a nominal depth at its nominal density.7.3 The insulation shall be tested without facing or jacket-ing, unless otherwise agreed u

20、pon by the purchaser andsupplier, or unless otherwise specified by the appropriatematerial specification.8. Procedure A, for Blanket, Board, and Pipe InsulationProducts8.1 If it is necessary to determine volume percent, measurethe dimensions of the specimens using 8.1.1, 8.1.2,or8.1.3.8.1.1 For blan

21、ket products, measure the length and width ofthe specimens using a steel rule. Measure the thickness of thespecimens by means of the depth gage as stated in Test MethodC 167.8.1.2 For board products, measure the dimensions of thespecimens using the test methods stated in Test Method C 303.8.1.3 For

22、pipe products, measure the dimensions of thespecimens using the test methods stated in Test Method C 302.8.1.4 Calculate the volume of the specimens. If requested,the volume may be based on the nominal thickness rather thanthe measured thickness, but this must be included in the report.8.2 Determine

23、 the moisture-free weight of each specimen inthe manner described in 8.2.1.8.2.1 Weigh the specimen. Place the specimen in an air-circulating oven at a temperature of 102 to 121C (215 to250F) for a minimum of 2 h. (See Note 1.) Cool the specimento room temperature in a desiccator and reweigh. Repeat

24、 theprocess until successive weighings agree to within 0.2 % of thespecimen weight obtained in the latest weighing. Record thisweight as the moisture-free weight.NOTE 1When drying at the specified temperature has been shown toadversely affect the insulation, the specimen may be dried to moisture-fre

25、eweight in a desiccator at room temperature. However, the drying timebetween successive weighings should then be extended to at least 24 h.8.3 Bring the specimens to a uniform temperature in anoven of not less than 60C (140F) and then transfer to theenvironmental chamber. Either suspend the specimen

26、s or placeon a grid within the chamber in order to ensure air circulationaround the specimens. Protect the specimens from condensatedripping from the chamber ceiling by using a slanting falseroof immediately above the specimens.8.4 Allow the specimens to remain in the environmentalchamber for 966 4

27、h at a temperature of 49 6 2C (12063F) and at a relative humidity of 95 6 3 %. Then place eachspecimen in its own pre-weighed sample bag, seal the bag, andremove from the chamber. Allow the bag containing thespecimens to cool to room temperature and weigh. Subtract thebag weight from the obtained we

28、ight. Record this as thespecimen weight after testing.9. Procedure B, for Loose-Fill Insulation Products9.1 If it is necessary to determine volume percent, measurethe length and width of the pre-weighed sample trays, using asteel rule. Apply the insulation at its nominal or requestedthickness and de

29、nsity by pouring or blowing it into the sampletray. Measure the thickness of the specimens by means of adepth gauge. Calculate the volume of the specimens.9.2 Determine the moisture-free weight of each specimen inthe manner described in 9.2.1.9.2.1 Weigh the sample tray containing the specimen. Plac

30、ethe specimen in an air-circulating oven at a temperature of 102to 121C (215 to 250F) for a minimum of 2 h. (See Note 1.)Place the pre-weighed lid on the sample tray, cool the specimento room temperature, and reweigh. Remove the lid and repeatthe process until successive weighings agree to within 0.

31、2 % ofthe specimen weight obtained in the latest weighing. Subtractthe tray weight from the total obtained weight of the tray andspecimen. Record this weight as the moisture-free weight ofthe specimen.9.3 Remove the lids and bring the specimens to a uniformtemperature of not less than 60C (140F), an

32、d then transfer tothe environmental chamber. Place the trays horizontally withinthe chamber and place the lids next to the trays. Protect thespecimens from condensate dripping from the chamber ceilingby using a slanting false roof immediately above the speci-mens.9.4 Allow the specimens to remain in

33、 the environmentalchamber for 96 6 4 h at a temperature of 49 6 2C (120 63F) and at a relative humidity of 95 6 3 %. Then place the lidon each sample tray and remove from the chamber. Allow thetray containing the specimen to cool to room temperature andweigh. Subtract the tray weight from the obtain

34、ed weight.Record this as the specimen weight after testing.10.
