2、the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 These test methods cover

3、 the determination of thicknessand density of flexible, felted, or woven thermal insulatingblankets, rolls, or batts composed of fibrous materials, with orwithout surface covering or reinforcement.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its us

4、e. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:C 168 Terminology Relating to Thermal Insulation23. Terminology3.1 Definitio

5、nsTerminology C 168 shall be considered asapplicable to the terms used in these test methods.4. Significance and Use4.1 Proper measurements of thickness and density of blan-ket or batt insulations are essential for determining thermalinsulation properties. For a particular batt or blanket product,th

6、ickness and density are usually directly related to thermalinsulating value.4.2 These test methods are of significant value in manufac-turing quality control, to ensure that claimed insulation valuesof products are maintained.5. Apparatus5.1 Depth Gage, of the type shown in Fig. 1. The disk shallbe

7、fabricated of a suitable clear plastic material, so that theoperator can see when contact is made with the insulation. Thedisk shall be perpendicular to the pin at all times and shall havea friction device to grip the pin unless purposely moved. Thepin shall be of sufficient length for the material

8、to be measured.5.2 Steel rule, graduated in 0.05-in. or 1-mm intervals.5.3 Scales, of sufficient capacity and sensitivity to weigh thetest specimen to an accuracy of 60.5 %.6. Sampling6.1 A test sample shall consist of one representative roll orbundle of insulation.6.2 Sampling of BundlesFor bundles

9、 which contain 20or more batts, five batts shall be selected. Otherwise, either thethree-batt or five-batt selection technique may be used. Battswhich are folded in half shall count as two batts for purposesof choosing and employing the selection method.6.2.1 Three-Batt MethodSelect the center batt

10、and thesecond batt in from each end of the package.1These test methods are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C16 onThermal Insulation and are the direct responsibility of Subcommittee C16.32 onMechanical Properties.Current edition approved April 10, 2003.

Last previous edition approved in 1998 as C 167 98.2Annual Book of ASTM Standards, Vol 04.06.FIG. 1 Depth Gage for Thickness Measurements1Copyright ASTM International, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, PO Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959, United States.6.2.2 Five-Batt MethodDivide the pac

12、kage sequentiallyinto five groups of batts as equal in number as possible. Selectthe first batt from each group. Be careful to select one and onlyone batt from the two end batts within the package.6.2.3 Cut batts which are longer than 48 in. to 48 6 0.25 in.(122 6 0.63 cm) in length.6.3 Sampling of

13、Cut RollsFive batts will be cut ofroll-width by 48 6 0.25 in. (122 6 0.63 cm) in length.6.3.1 Cut one batt from the center of the roll, two batts fromthe ends of the roll, and the fourth and fifth from the quarterpoints along the length.6.3.2 For blankets wider than 24 in., cut each of the fivebatts

14、 24 6 0.25 in. (61 6 0.63 cm) wide by 48 6 0.25 in. (1226 0.63 cm) long.6.4 Sampling for Full Roll MethodThis method can beused in place of 6.3 when the roll is wider than 24 in. (61 cm)or longer than 50 ft (16.4 m). Prior to unrolling the material,weigh the entire roll to the nearest 0.25 pound (0.

15、11 kg). Twomethods may be used to obtain the full roll weight. The firstmethod removes the insulation product from the packagingprior to weighing. The material will expand and may unrollslightly, care must be taken to ensure that the full roll isweighed accurately. The second method weighs the packa

16、gedinsulation product, then weighs the packaging material only.The packaging material weight is subtracted from packagedproduct weight to obtain net material weight.7. Procedure7.1 Expansion of Bundles and Cut RollHold the first battvertically off the floor by grasping it with both hands on itslong

17、dimension so that the lower edge is 18 6 1 in. (460 6 25mm) above the floor. Release the batt, allowing it to strike thefloor. Repeat the above for a second time. Next, holding thebatt by the other long edge, drop twice as above. Place thespecimen on a flat, hard surface. Repeat the above for therem

18、aining four specimens. Allow specimens to reach equilib-rium by waiting at least 5 min before making thicknessmeasurements within 1 in. (25 mm) in any direction of fivepoints as indicated in Fig. 2.NOTE 1If 23-in. (580-mm) wide samples are tested, use a quarter orhalf of that dimension to establish

19、the test points.NOTE 2Some materials may require4hormore to reach equilibrium.7.2 Expansion of Full RollUnroll the insulation. Flip thetest roll over its entire length so the bottom surface is now ontop. Next grasp one end and pull the material over itself untilthe original surface is again facing u

20、p. If there is insufficientroom to pull the material over itself (less than twice theunrolled length), the material may be repositioned by slidingthe partially pulled roll to the end of the testing space, andcontinue to pull the material over itself.NOTE 3Use 7.1 if sampling procedure in 6.3 is used

21、.7.3 Measurement of Bundles and Cut RollInsert the pin ofthe thickness gage vertically into the material at the firstmeasuring point with a twisting motion until it contacts thehard surface beneath. Lower the disk until it lightly anduniformly contacts the specimen.An alternative procedure is touse

22、a disk whose mass exerts a specified pressure of at least 0.4lbf/ft2(20 Pa) on the specimen. With the gage disk lockedagainst the pin, lift the gage unit from the test specimen. Whileholding the gage in locked position, place the disk against thezero end of the rule with the pin projecting along the

23、 calibratedsurface of the rule. Observe and record the reading at thepointed end of the pin to the nearest 0.05 in. (1 mm). Repeatthe above for each of the remaining measuring points as shownin Fig. 2.7.4 Measurement of Full RollRecord the roll length to thenearest 1 in. (2.54) cm. Take measurements

24、 on each side of theroll. If the roll has been cut in half, take a third roll lengthmeasurement along the midpoint of the roll width. Record rollwidth at three locations to the nearest 0.125 in. (0.32 cm).Width measurements will be taken 10 ft (3.05 m) from eachend, and in the middle of the roll len

25、gth. Using a pin gauge,record thickness to the nearest 0.05 in. (1 mm) as shown in Fig.FIG. 2 Thickness Measurement LocationsFIG. 3 Thickness Measurement Locations Full RollC 167 98 (2003)23. Refer to Section 7.3 for use of pin gauge. Two 15 ft (4.57 m)long sections shall be measured. These sections

26、 shall be 10(3.05 m) in from each end. A total of twenty thicknessmeasurements will be taken for each roll.NOTE 4Use 7.4 if sampling procedure in 6.4 is used.8. Calculation8.1 ThicknessTake the average of the thickness measure-ments made in accordance with Section 7 as the thickness ofthe specimen.8

31、foot (or kilograms per cubic metre), and9.1.5 Age of material when tested, if known, and descrip-tion of package (roll, bag, etc.).10. Precision and Bias310.1 The precision and bias of these test methods depend onthe ability to read and interpolate the steel rule and balance andto judge when surface

32、 contact occurs between the depth gagedisk and the test specimen.10.2 Thickness of BundlesAn interlaboratory comparisonof six participating laboratories was conducted in 1991 onfibrous glass insulation. This test program used four commonbatt insulations and tested all batts within each package. Awit

33、hin-laboratory repeatability for thickness measurements of7 % was obtained, which also includes product and packagingvariability. Individual batt measurements were initially ex-pressed as percentages of the average measurement of therespective package average. These percentages were thennormalized t

34、o the average thickness versus piece locationdistribution for the respective product as measured by the sixlaboratories. Twice the sample standard deviation of thesevalues yielded the repeatability. The 95 % repeatability limit,2.8 (sr), was 9 %.10.3 The interlaboratory comparison noted in 10.2 yiel

35、dedvalues for bias of the batt sampling techniques specified in 6.2of not greater than 1 % for any of the products tested. Bias wasmeasured in terms of the percent deviation of the averagethickness of the sampled batts from the package average.10.4 Imprecision of the batt sampling techniques was det

36、er-mined to be 2.4 % for the five-batt method and 3.6 % for thethree-batt method.NOTE 5Imprecision in this subsection refers to twice the samplestandard deviation of the thicknesses predicted by the sampling techniqueexpressed as a percentage of the average measured thickness of all battswithin the

Five laboratories each tested three samples of twomaterial thicknesses. The materials included an R-11 roll, 32in. (9.75 m) long by 15 in. (38.1 cm) wide, and an R

38、-19 roll,39 ft (11.89 m) long by 15 in. (38.1 cm) wide. These materialsrepresent the range of product packaged as rolls. The analyzeddata consisted of a package average thickness, calculated from25 sampling points per package, five locations each from fivebatts per each roll.10.5.1 Precision Results
