1、Designation:C 1033 85(Reapproved 2000)Standard Test Method forSteady-State Heat Transfer Properties of Pipe InsulationInstalled Vertically1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 1033;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case
2、 of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon(e)indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the measurement of the steady-state heat transfer properties of pipe insu
3、lations for pipesoperating at temperatures above the ambient environment fromapproximately 40C to the maximum insulation design tem-perature.Specimens may be rigid,flexible,or loose-fill,may behomogeneous or nonhomogeneous,isotropic or nonisotropic,and of circular or noncircular cross section.Measur
4、ement ofmetallic reflective insulations is included in this test method;however,additional precautions must be taken when thesematerials are being evaluated.1.2 When appropriate,or as required by specifications orother test methods,the following thermal transfer propertiesfor the specimen can be cal
5、culated from the measured data(see3.2):1.2.1 The thermal resistance and conductance,1.2.2 The thermal transference,1.2.3 The surface resistance and heat transfer coefficient,and1.2.4 The apparent thermal resistivity and conductivity.1.3 This test method applies only for testing of insulationson vert
6、ical pipes,and the results will only apply for insulationsinstalled vertically(see Note 1).1.4 The test pipe may be of any size or shape provided thatit matches the specimens to be tested.Normally the test methodis used with circular pipes,however,its use is permitted withpipes or ducts of noncircul
7、ar cross section(square,rectangular,hexagonal,etc.).One common size used for interlaboratorycomparison is a pipe with an 88.9-mm outside diameter(standard nominal 80-mm,3-in.pipe size).1.5 This test method covers only the guarded-end type ofpipe apparatus.No experience has been gathered with thecali
8、brated or calculated-end pipe apparatus;therefore,this typeof tester is not included as part of this specification.1.6 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.Conversion factors to other units are given in Table 1.The units used must accompany all numerical values.NOTE1Measur
9、ement of insulations installed horizontally is coveredin Test Method C 335 and Test Method C 691.NOTE2Discussions of the appropriateness of these properties toparticular specimens or materials may be found in Test Method C 177,TestMethod C 518,and in the literature.21.7 This standard does not purpor
10、t 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.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:C 168 Term
