Designation:C112615Standard Specification forFaced or Unfaced Rigid Cellular Phenolic ThermalInsulation1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1126;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers faced or unfaced,rigid cellularphenolic thermal insulation.Boards shall be faced or unfaced.Tubular forms covered by this standard shall be unfaced.Itdoes not apply to field expanded cellular phenolic materials.NOTE1If a facer or vapor retarder is to be used for the tubular form,then refer to Practice C921.1.2 Materials covered by this specification are used as roofinsulation;sheathing or rigid board for non-load bearing,building material applications;and pipe insulation for usebetween 40 and 257F(40 and 125C).Type II and Type IIImaterials with an appropriate vapor retarder covering on thewarm surface are used to a lower temperature limit of 290F(180C).(See 7.3.)1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard.The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.4 This specification covers closed cell rigid cellular phe-nolic thermal insulation manufactured using blowing agentswith an ozone depletion potential of 0(ODP 0).1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.For specific precautionary statements,see Section 16.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2C165 Test Method for Measuring Compressive Properties ofThermal InsulationsC168 Terminology Relating to Thermal InsulationC177 Test Method for Steady-State Heat Flux Measure-ments and Thermal Transmission Properties by Means ofthe Guarded-Hot-Plate ApparatusC209 Test Methods for Cellulosic Fiber Insulating BoardC335/C335M Test Method for Steady-State Heat TransferProperties of Pipe InsulationC390 Practice for Sampling and Acceptance of ThermalInsulation LotsC518 Test Method for Steady-State Thermal TransmissionProperties by Means of the Heat Flow Meter ApparatusC550 Test Method for Measuring Trueness and Squarenessof Rigid Block and Board Thermal InsulationC585 Practice for Inner and Outer Diameters of ThermalInsulation for Nominal Sizes of Pipe and TubingC921 Practice for Determining the Properties of JacketingMaterials for Thermal InsulationC1045 Practice for Calculating Thermal Transmission Prop-erties Under Steady-State ConditionsC1058/C1058M Practice for Selecting Temperatures forEvaluating and Reporting Thermal Properties of ThermalInsulationC1303/C1303M Test Method for Predicting Long-TermThermal Resistance of Closed-Cell Foam InsulationC1363 Test Method for Thermal Performance of BuildingMaterials and Envelope Assemblies by Means of a HotBox ApparatusD1621 Test Method for Compressive Properties of RigidCellular PlasticsD1622 Test Method for Apparent Density of Rigid CellularPlasticsD1623 Test Method for Tensile and Tensile Adhesion Prop-erties of Rigid Cellular PlasticsD2126 Test Method for Response of Rigid Cellular Plasticsto Thermal and Humid AgingD6226 Test Method for Open Cell Content of Rigid CellularPlasticsE84 Test Method for Surface Burning Characteristics ofBuilding MaterialsE96/E96M Test Methods for Water Vapor Transmission ofMaterials1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C16 onThermal Insulation and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee C16.22 onOrganic and Nonhomogeneous Inorganic Thermal Insulations.Current edition approved May 1,2015.Published August 2015.Originallyapproved in 1989.Last previous edition approved in 2014 as C1126 14.DOI:10.1520/C1126-14.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 3.Terminology3.1 The definitions and terms in Terminology C168 shallapply to this specification.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 foam corerigid cellular thermal installation withoutany facers or barriers on the surface of the installation.3.2.2 closed cell materialfoam where more than 90%ofthe cells are totally enclosed by cell walls,and not intercon-nected with other cells.3.2.3 open cell materialfoam whose cells are not totallyenclosed by its walls and therefore exhibits a predominance ofinterconnecting cells.3.2.4 ozone depletion potential(ODP)a relative inde
