Scope

This document specifies a test method for the determination of settlement of blown loose-fill insulation applied in closed cavities. This test method measures the effects of humidity and temperature cycling; However, there may be other factors, such as impact, vibration of any kind which may influence a change in thickness. The test standard is limited to products after installation and excludes effects of vibration because of transportation (of prefabricated elements).

Purpose

The purpose of the standard is to have test methods for ageing related to temperature and moisture cycling.
