Standard Specification for Polyimide Rigid Cellular Thermal Insulation

Standard Details

1.1 This specification covers the composition and physical properties of polyimide foam insulation with nominal densities from 2.0 lb/ft³ to 8.0 lb/ft³ (32 kg/m³ to 128 kg/m³) and intended for use as thermal and sound-isolating insulation for temperatures from 423°F to +600°F (253°C to +316°C) in commercial and industrial environments.

1.1.1 The annex shall apply to this specification for marine applications.

1.1.2 This standard is designed as a material specification and not a design document.

1.1.3 The values stated in are not to be used as design values. It is the buyers responsibility to specify design requirements and obtain supporting documentation from the material supplier.

1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The SI units are given in parentheses for information only and are approximate.

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 requirements prior to use.
