This specification covers fibrous glass sound-absorbing board with a perforated fibrous glass cloth facing for sound reduction in ship spaces with high noise levels. It also measures and describes the response of materials, products, or assemblies to heat and flame under controlled conditions, but does not by itself incorporate all factors required for fire hazard or fire risk assessment of materials, products, or assemblies under actual fire conditions. The sound-absorbing board shall conform to the following performance requirements: density, surface flame spread and smoke generation properties, facing separation, and sound absorption coefficients.

This abstract is a brief summary of the referenced standard. It is informational only and not an official part of the standard; the full text of the standard itself must be referred to for its use and application. ASTM does not give any warranty express or implied or make any representation that the contents of this abstract are accurate, complete or up to date.

1. Scope

1.1 This specification covers fibrous glass sound-absorbing board with a perforated fibrous glass cloth facing for sound reduction in ship spaces with high noise levels. This specification is primarily for materials used on ships. Additional requirements, testing, and certification are required for use of this material aboard U.S. Coast Guard inspected vessels in the United States.

1.2 This standard measures and describes the response of materials, products, or assemblies to heat and flame under controlled conditions, but does not by itself incorporate all factors required for fire hazard or fire risk assessment of materials, products, or assemblies under actual fire conditions.

This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory requirements prior to use.
