2、 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.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope1.1 This spe
3、cification covers the composition,dimensions,and physical properties of mineral fiber(rock,slag,or glass)metal mesh covered and industrial type blanket and blanket-type pipe insulation(typically on 24 in.(610 mm)diameters orlarger).Its use is for cooled surfaces at temperatures operatingbelow ambien
