This publication provides comprehensive guidance for systematic development and implementation of a plan for commissioning building HVAC and Plumbing systems. The third edition represents a departure from past editions and is divided into three distinct parts: Standards, Process and...
4.1 This test method is of value in ranking relative tearing resistance of various plastic films and thin sheeting of comparable thickness. Experience has shown the test to have its best reliability on relatively less extensible films and sheeting. Variable elongation and...
5.1 Method A-Low voltage holiday detection is used to locate holidays and pinholes in thin-film coatings (up to 0.508?mm (20?mils) using a sponge wetted with tap water (and a wetting agent for coatings thicker than 10?mils). The water carries the current from the electrode through the...
4.1 The thermal resistance of a ceiling system is used to characterize its steady-state thermal performance. 4.2 The thermal resistance of insulation is related to the density and thickness of the insulation. Test data on thermal resistance are obtained at a thickness and density representative of...
5.1 This test method is applicable to the measurement of airborne asbestos in a wide range of ambient air situations and for detailed evaluation of any atmosphere for asbestos structures. Most fibers in ambient atmospheres are not asbestos, and therefore, there is a requirement for fibers to be...
1.1 This practice presents a laboratory guide to determine the thermal resistance of pneumatically installed loose-fill building insulations for enclosed applications of the building thermal envelope behind netting at mean temperatures between?-10 and 35°C (14 to 95°F). 1.2 This...
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the boiling point distribution and cut point intervals of crude oils and residues by using high temperature gas chromatography. The amount of residue (or sample recovery) is determined using an external standard. 1.2 This test method extends the...
1.1 This specification covers the classification, composition, and physical properties of flexible fibrous glass insulation for use in metal building roofs and walls. 1.2 The basic insulation blanket is designed to be post-processed by a laminating process that applies an adhesive bonded...
5.1 The viscosity of emulsified asphalts characterizes their flow properties and affects their utility at 50?°C or at other temperatures. The sprayability and workability of an emulsified asphalt are directly related to its viscosity for many applications. The material must be thin...
