19.16 Thermal insulation used for recessed temperature tests
19.16.1 Thermal insulation of the loose-fill type shall be conditioned to the density specified by the
insulation manufacturer to obtain a required rated thermal resistance of Rsi 0.56 to 0.678 (R3.2 to R3.85).
19.16.2 Thermal insulation shall be conditioned, if required, by a blowing or vacuum machine before it is
placed around the test luminaire. Density shall be verified by placing insulation into a box of known volume
and weight, and then weighing the filled box. The difference in weight between the empty and full box,
divided by the volume, shall be the insulation density. |
