ASTM C240-97(2003)
Historical Standard: ASTM C240-97(2003) Standard Test Methods of Testing Cellular Glass Insulation Block
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM C240
1. Scope
1.1 These test methods cover the testing of cellular glass insulation block for density, water absorption, compressive strength, flexural strength at ambient temperature; preparation for chemical analysis; and thermal conductivity measurements.
1.2 The values stated in SI are generally to be regarded as the standard. The SI dimensions are to be used for material supplied in metric sizes. The inch dimensions are to be used for material supplied in inch sizes.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
