6、 foams.1.4 This test method utilizes referenced standard test proce-dures for measuring thermal resistance. Periodic measurementsare performed on specimens to observe the effects of aging.Specimens of reduced thickness (that is, thin slices) are used toshorten the time required for these observation

7、s. The results ofthese measurements are used to predict the long-term thermalresistance of the material.1.5 The test method is given in two parts. The PrescriptiveMethod in Part A provides long-term thermal resistance valueson a consistent basis that can be used for a variety of purposes,including p

Summary of Test Method4.1 Rigid gas-filled closed-cell foam insulation is thin-slicedto reduce the gas diffusion path length which accelerates theaging process. The resulting temporal acceleration is prop

34、or-tional to the square of the ratio of the product use thickness tothe slice thickness.4.2 Careful and precise slice preparation is necessary andthe process is described in detail in 6.4.4.3 In PartA, the Prescriptive Method, specific test dates arecalculated and the thermal resistance of the thin

35、slices ismeasured on those dates.4.3.1 Qualification tests are included to determine whetherthis method is applicable to a given material.4.4 In Part B, the Research Method, thermal conductivity ismeasured for a series of time periods and extensive dataanalysis is possible.5. Significance and Use5.1

36、 Rigid gas-filled closed-cell foam insulations include allcellular plastic insulations which rely on a blowing agent (orgas), other than air, for thermal resistance values.At the time ofmanufacture, the cells of the foam usually contain their highestpercentage of blowing agent and the lowest percent

37、age ofatmospheric gases. As time passes, the relative concentrationsof these gases change due primarily to diffusion. This results ina general reduction of the thermal resistance of the foam due toan increase in the thermal conductivity of the resultant cell gasmixture. These phenomena are typically

38、 referred to as foamaging.5.1.1 For some rigid gas-filled closed-cell foam insulationproducts produced using blowing agent gases that diffuse veryrapidly out of the full-thickness foam product, such as ex-panded polystyrene, there is no need to accelerate the agingprocess.5.1.2 Physical gas diffusio

39、n phenomena occur in threedimensions. The one-dimensional form of the diffusion equa-tions used in the development of this practice are valid only forplanar geometries, that is, for specimens that have parallelfaces and where the thickness is much smaller than the widthand much smaller than the leng

40、th.NOTE 3Please see Appendix X3 for a discussion of the theory ofaccelerated aging via thin slicing.NOTE 4Theoretical and experimental evaluations of the aging ofinsulation in radial forms, such as pipe insulation, have been made. (6)However, these practices have not evolved to the point of inclusio

41、n in thetest standard.5.2 The change in thermal resistance due to the phenomenadescribed in 5.1 usually occurs over an extended period oftime. Information regarding changes in the thermal resistanceof these materials as a function of time is required in a shorterperiod of time so that decisions rega

42、rding formulations, pro-duction, and comparisons with other materials can be made.5.3 Specifications C578, C591, C1029, C1126 and C1289on rigid closed-cell foams measure thermal resistance afterconditioning at 23 6 1C 73 6 2F for 180 6 5 days fromthe time of manufacture or at 60 6 1C 140 6 2F for 90

43、days. This conditioning can be used for comparative purposes,but is not sufficient to describe long-term thermal resistance.This requirement demonstrates the importance of the agingphenomena within this class of products.5.4 The Prescriptive Method in Part A provides long-termthermal resistance valu

44、es on a consistent basis for a variety ofpurposes, including product evaluation, specifications, or prod-uct comparisons. The consistent basis for these purposes isprovided by a series of specific procedural constraints, whichare not required in the Research Method described in Part B.The values pro

45、duced by the Prescriptive Method correspond tothe thermal resistance at an age of five years, which corre-sponds closely to the average thermal resistance over a 15-yearservice life (7, 8).5.4.1 It is recommended that any material standard thatrefers to C1303 to provide a product rating for long-ter

46、mthermal resistance specify the Part A Test Method of C1303.5.5 The Research Method in Part B provides a relationshipbetween thermal conductivity, age, and product thickness. Thecalculation methods given in Part B can be used to predict theresistance at any specific point in time as well as the aver

47、ageresistance over a specific time period.NOTE 5The 5-year aged values produced in Part A can be derivedfrom the Part B data only if all other Part A requirements are met.5.6 This test method addresses three separate elementsrelating to the aging of rigid closed-cell plastic foams.5.6.1 Specimen Pre

48、parationTechniques for the prepara-tion of thin flat specimens, including their extraction from the“as manufactured” product, and the measurement of specimenthickness are discussed.5.6.2 Measurement of the Thermal ResistanceThermalresistance measurements, taken at scheduled times, are anintegral par
