Significance and Use9.1 Entrapment of water in thermal insulation caused bycondensation of water vapor that has penetrated into theinsulation is detrimental to the thermal resistance of theinsulation. For this reason, in certain installations wheretemperatu

21、re and moisture conditions have the potential tocreate a vapor driving force toward the insulation, a deterrentto the passage of such vapor into the installed insulation needsto be provided. This is the primary function of the vaporretarder.9.2 In addition to the function stated in 9.1, a vapor reta

22、rderhas the potential to provide physical protection and addedstrength to the insulation system.9.3 This specification is used to specify material by physicalproperty requirements that address the above prerequisites. Thedesigner of an insulation system, after determining the degreeof protection nee

23、ded for the insulation, can use this specifica-tion to specify the appropriate type of vapor retarder when oneis required.10.
