Abstract:

This report presents the results of a study conducted to determine the feasibility of effecting a simplification in the current specification system covering thermal insulating materials. The study presents a plan to reduce a large number of single specifications to a small group of generalized specifications by elimination of all but essential testing procedures and by the standardization of test requirements. A general specification covering insulation felts and blankets, with emphasis on performance characteristics, is presented as an illustration of the proposed format.
