Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method describes a modified application of Test Method C518 to evacuated panels. These panels fa

30、ll outside thescope ofTest Method C518, both in their non-homogeneity and in the current lack of specimens having an accepted reference valuethat are of similar size and have the necessary thermal characteristics. Therefore, modifications are necessary in the areas ofapparatus calibration, plate sep

31、aration, test procedures, precision and bias, and reporting.NOTE 1Primary calibration standards, using vacuum insulation panels, have not been prepared for this class of products due to uncertainties abouttheir long-term stability characteristics.5. Significance and Use5.1 Heat flow meter apparatus

32、are being used to measure the center-of-panel portion of a vacuum insulation panel, whichtypically has a very high value of thermal resistivity (that is, equal to or greater than 90 m-K/W). As described in SpecificationC1484, the center-of-panel thermal resistivity is used, along with the panel geom

33、etry and barrier material thermal conductivity, todetermine the effective thermal resistance of the evacuated panel.5.2 Using a heat flow meter apparatus to measure the thermal resistivity of non-homogenous and high thermal resistancespecimens is a non-standard application of the equipment, and shal

34、l only be performed by qualified personnel with understandingof heat transfer and error propagation. Familiarity with the configuration of both the apparatus and the vacuum insulation panelis necessary.5.3 The center-of-panel thermal transmission properties of evacuated panels vary due to the compos

35、ition of the materials ofconstruction, mean temperature and temperature difference, and the prior history. The selection of representative values for thethermal transmission properties of an evacuated panel for a particular application must be based on a consideration of these factorsand will not ap

36、ply necessarily without modification to all service conditions.6. Apparatus6.1 Follow Test Method C518, Section 5 except use Section 88 of this test method for calibration.7. Specimen Preparation7.1 Vacuum insulation panels are typically rigid and the shape cannot be modified for testing purposes. H

37、owever, to obtainrepresentative thermal values for the panel, the two primary surfaces must be parallel and have limited surface irregularities.7.2 If none of the standard product sizes are appropriate for the heat flow meter apparatus used in this test, then representativetest specimens must be pro

38、duced so that they accurately represent both the same average performance as the production productand the same typical product variability.C1667 1537.3 The specimens shall be of the same thickness as the average thickness to be applied in use.7.4 The minimum panel size for this test is determined b

39、y the size of the heat flux transducer in the heat flow meter apparatus,the overall maximum specimen size limit for the apparatus, the thermal conductivity of the barrier, the thickness of the barrier, andthe thermal conductivity of the core. Annex A1 contains a procedure to estimate the minimum acc

40、eptable panel size.7.4.1 Preferably, specimens shall be of such size as to fully cover the plate assembly surfaces, with an allowance of up to 6 mmon each side to allow room for panel seals.7.4.2 If the width or length, or both, of the specimen are smaller than the apparatus compartment, surround th

41、e specimen withhigh thermal resistance insulation. This surrounding material will reduce edge heat transfer and prevent air circulation around thespecimen.7.5 For panels with smooth parallel surfaces, the specimen thickness is represented by the plate separation.7.6 For panels with irregular surface

42、s, to insure thermal contact with the apparatus surfaces, it is necessary to:7.6.1 Measure the panel thickness with an accuracy of 60.05 mm in at least five locations distributed over the surface of thepanel and use the average of the local values. Care shall be taken so that the contact between the

43、 caliper jaws or the length meterspressure foot does not damage the specimen surface.7.6.2 Record the output of one thermocouple placed on the center of the top and one thermocouple placed on the center of thebottom of the panel. The temperatures recorded by the thermocouples, not the hot and cold p

44、late temperatures, shall be used tocalculate the center-of-panel apparent thermal resistivity.7.6.3 Place one sheet (approximately 3 mm thick) of an elastomeric or soft foam rubber between each side of the panel and thecorresponding apparatus plate. This sheet will improve contact between the contro

45、lled temperature plates and prevent aircirculation between the panel and the plates.8. Calibration8.1 The apparatus shall be calibrated according to Test Method C518 sections 6.1 to 6.5.8.2 Specimens having an accepted reference value with physical and thermal characteristics similar to vacuum insul

46、ation panelsare not yet available.The linearity of the heat flux transducers at very low levels of heat flux must be verified using another method.The apparatus calibration must include the addition of at least one of the modified calibration procedures described in 8.5 and 8.6,that is Modified Cali

47、bration Procedure A or B. As described in 8.7, the two modified procedures can be combined if necessary tomeet uncertainty goals. Although each method magnifies an element of experimental error (as discussed below), it is necessary toaugment the standard Test Method C518 calibration for this particu

48、lar application.8.3 It is not intended that the heat flow meter apparatus calibration be altered based on the results of these supplementaryprocedures. Rather the results will be used by qualified personnel (as described in 5.2) to determine whether a particular heat flowmeter apparatus will give me

49、aningful results for a vacuum panel application, and if so, to provide guidance on interpreting andapplying the Test Method C518 test results.NOTE 2Just as with the standard calibration technique, the supplementary calibration need not be repeated for every test if the equipment has beenstable over a significant period of time. See Test Method C518 section 4.5.1.NOTE 3The heat flow meter apparatus may take a long time to reach a true steady-state condition for low conductance specimens, as described inTest Method C518 section 7.7.3.8.4 In order to evaluate the l
