Historical Standard: ASTM C870-96(2000) Standard Practice for Conditioning of Thermal Insulating Materials
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM C870
1. Scope
1.1 This practice covers the conditioning of thermal insulating materials for tests. Since prior exposure of insulating materials to high or low humidity may affect the equilibrium moisture content, a procedure is also given for preconditioning the materials.
1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, 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.
