ASTM WK88686

Revision of C1224-22 Standard Specification for Reflective Insulation for Building Applications

Rationale

ASTM C518 is a reliable and precise test method for determining material R-value
with a reproducibility of about 3%. C1363 has a much larger measurement uncertainty
than C518 that is magnified when a minor component of a test assembly is being evaluated.

The use of C518 to determine framing R-value represents economy of resources in
addition to improved accuracy.
