This standard speci-fies the equipment and procedures for determi-ning trace quantities of the water soluble chloride, fluoride, silicate and sodium ions in an aqueous extract of the product. It also describes a procedure for the determination of the pH of the aqueous extract. The standard is applicable to thermal insula-ting products.
NOTE   The determination of these parameters may be relevant for thermal insula-ting products intended for application to stainless austenitic steel surfa-ces. The presence of chloride, fluoride, silicate and sodium ions under certain conditions may influen-ce the risk of stress corrosion cracking. See informative annex B for further information.

This European Standard specifies the equipment and procedures for determining the coefficient of linear thermal expansion. The standard is applicable to thermal insulating products within the tem-perature range - 196 °C to 850 °C, subject to the possible tempera-ture limita-tion of the test speci-mens. It shall not be used for products which during the test experien-ce dimensional changes due to the loss of hydration water or which undergo other phase changes.
NOTE   Because of its small dimensions the test specimen should be care-fully selected to be representative of the product being tested.

This European Standard specifies the equipment and procedures for determining the apparent overall density and the apparent core density under reference conditions. It is applicable to full size thermal insula-ting products and test specimens of preformed pipe insulation.

This European Standard speci-fies the equipment and procedures for determin-ing the dimen-sions, squareness and linearity of pre-formed pipe insulation, supplied in one piece, half sections or segments. It is applicable to thermal insulat-ing products.

This European Standard specifies the requirements for factory made expanded perlite and exfoliated vermiculite products which are used for the thermal insulation of building equipment and industrial installations with an operating temperature in the range of approximately 0 °C to + 1 100 °C.
Expanded perlite and exfoliated vermiculite products can be used below 0 °C but special tests regarding the suitability of the product in the intended application are advised (e.g. liquefaction of oxygen). Manufacturer’s advice should be heeded in all cases.
The products are manufactured in the form of boards, pipe sections, segments, prefabricated ware and special ware.
This European Standard describes product characteristics and includes procedures for testing, evaluation of conformity, marking and labelling.
Products covered by this European Standard are also used in prefabricated thermal insulation systems and composite panels; the structural performance of systems incorporating these products is not covered.
This European Standard does not specify the required level of a given property that is achieved by a product to demonstrate fitness for purpose in a particular application. The levels required for a given application can be found in regulations and invitations to tender.
Products with a declared thermal conductivity greater than 0,6 W/(mK) at 10 °C are not covered by this European Standard.
This European Standard does not cover products intended to be used for the insulation of the building structure.
The European Standard does not cover the following acoustical aspects: direct airborne sound insulation and impact transmission noise index.
