Abstract
A semi-empirical model for calculating heat transfer in dry mineral fiber insulations takes into account parameters that characterize both the structure of the fibrous material and the boundary conditions in standard laboratory testing. It permits adjustment of experimental data for changes in specimen density or thickness, mean temperature or temperature gradient, i.e., all the uncertainties involved in sampling and testing procedures.
