FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by
the Thermal Insulation
Materials Sectional Committee
had been approved by the Chemical
Division Council.
Bonded mineral wool can be used with a suitable facing material for a temperature
range of
-40% to 700C. Use at lower temperatures has not been covered in this standard as the methods
of test for testing mineral wool products at lower temperatures have not been fully established
yet. Possibility of use at lower temperature is being examined alongwith the application techniques which are equally important.
This standard was originally printed in 1976. In this first revision of the standard, the groupings
on the basis of bulk density have been changed and the requirements
of incombustibility
and
The sampling of bonded mineral wool has also been
heat resistance have been modified.
modified.
The committee
responsible
of this standard
is given in Annex D.
