Expanded thermal testing capabilities - the new FOX 600 has arrived!
- Monday, 23 September 2024
AWTA Product Testing is pleased to announce that in addition to our current Fox 300 thermal resistance testing capabilities, we can now offer testing on products up to 200mm thickness on the FOX 600 test apparatus.
The current Building Code (NCC 2022) specifies Declared Insulation Values (R50/90) to be determined in accordance with AS/NZS 4859.1:2018 “Materials for the thermal insulation of buildings”. For Formed Shaped, Formed in-situ, Reflective Products and Low Density Compressible Batts, this specification calls up test method ASTM C518:2017.
AS/NZS 4859.1-2018 requires that the thermal resistance and thermal conductivity are measured at a standard mean temperature of 23°C for products sold within Australia (and 15°C for products sold in New Zealand). Insulation products composed of PUR, PIR, PF & XPS require ageing processes to be conducted before the declaration of thermal properties is conducted.
AWTA Product Testing offers accredited thermal transmission testing of insulation, up to thickness of 200mm, compliant with AS/NZS 4859.1:2018.
Ageing processes in accordance with relevant EN procedures are also be provided in order to determine the Declared Thermal Resistance (R50/90) and Declared Thermal Conductivity (λ50/90) over a wide range of both insulating and conductive materials. Declared thermal resistance and conductivity values are based over the results obtained from a minimum of ten individual tests and take in account any variation between test values.
