1.1 This test method covers the measurement of steady-state thermal transmission through the center of a flat rectangular vacuum insulation panel using a heat flow meter apparatus.
1.2 Total heat transfer through the non-homogenous geometry of a vacuum insulation panel requires the determination of several factors, as discussed in Specification C 1484. One of those factors is the center-of-panel thermal resistivity. The center-of-panel thermal resistivity is an approximation of the thermal resistivity of the core evacuated region.
1.3 This test method is based upon the technology of Test Method C 518 but includes modifications for vacuum panel applications as outlined in this test method.
1.4 This test method shall be used in conjunction with Practice C 1045 and Practice C 1058.
1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only. Either SI or inch-pound units are acceptable in the report, unless otherwise specified.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, 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.
