| Abstract | This paper is concerned with the thermal performance of blown Mineral Fibre Insulation (MFI), and more specifically with the question of how to ensure that the purchaser receives the amount of thermal resistance contracted for. It is shown that, owing to the variability of the material and installation techniques, two requirements must simultaneously be fulfilled at the time of installation: ( i) minimum installed thickness; and (ii) minimum mass per unit area. This Note deals with the determination of these minimum values, and the sample preparation and laboratory testing of the thermal resistance of MFI. |
