I. ASTM E 84, Standard Test Method for Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials

As noted, this Standard is considered by most building code officials to be equivalent to the surface burning characteristics tests set forth in UL 723, NFPA 255, and CAN/ULC-S102.

II. ASTM C 411, Test Method for Hot-Surface Performance of High-Temperature Thermal Insulation

This Test Method covers determination of the performance of block and pipe forms of thermal insulating materials when exposed to simulated hot-surface application conditions. The term "hot-surface performance" refers to a simulated use-temperature test in which the heated testing surface is in a horizontal position. This test method refers primarily to high-temperature insulations applicable to hot-side temperatures in excess of 200°F (93°C). It may be used for materials such as preformed insulation, blanket insulations, and insulating cements.

III. ASTM C 423, Test Method for Sound Absorption and Sound Absorption Coefficients by the Reverberation Room Method

This Standard establishes methods of determining sound absorption properties of fibrous glass duct board and duct liner.

IV. ASTM C 518, Test Method for Steady-State Heat Flux Measurement and Thermal Transmission Properties by Means of the Heat Flow Meter Apparatus

This Standard establishes methods of determining thermal performance properties of fibrous glass duct board, duct liner, duct wrap, and insulation boards described in this Guide.

V. ASTM C 612, Standard Specification for Mineral Fiber Block and Board Thermal Insulation

This Specification covers the composition, physical properties, and dimensions of rigid and semi-rigid mineral fiber block and board for use as thermal insulation as described on Fibrous glass insulation boards of this Guide.

VI. ASTM C 1071, Standard Specification for Fibrous Glass Duct Lining Insulation (Thermal and Sound Absorbing Material)

This Specification covers the composition, physical properties, and dimensions of fibrous glass duct liners (both flexible and rigid) as described on Sheet metal ducts with fibrous glass insulation liner of this Guide. This Specification in turn references the following additional ASTM Standards:

• ASTM G 21-96, Practice for Determining Resistance of Synthetic Polymer Materials to Fungi
• ASTM G 22-96, Practice for Determining Resistance of Plastics to Bacteria
• ASTM C 916, Standard Specification for Adhesives for Duct Liner Insulation

VII. ASTM C 1290, Flexible Fibrous Glass Blanket Insulation Used to Externally Insulate HVAC Ducts

This Specification covers the composition, physical properties, and dimensions of fibrous glass duct wrap insulation as described on Sheet metal ducts with fibrous glass insulation wrap of this Guide.
