[’OREWORD

I his [l~dian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the Thermal
Insuiution Sectional Committee had been zipproved by the Chemical Division Council.

‘1’Ilcusc of’ ceramic fibres as thermal insulation materials began in 1960’s. However, their use has grown since
eaI-ly 1970”s. The use ofceramic iibrcs products as high temperature insulation spread rapidly as a consequence of
(IIC energy crisis ivorldwide in the early seventies, These are extensively used as thermal insulation and fire
rcsis[ant inatcria!s besides their core strength as low thermal mass soft refractory lining material.

‘1’IICct~lllpositiorl OF[he Committee responsible for f(mnulation of this standard is given in Annex B.

I’or the purpose of dcciditlg whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS 2: 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)’. The number of significant places retained in the
roIIndcd of’f value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

A-2 DETERMINATION OF SAMPLE SIZE
A-2.1 Tests for the conformity to the requirements of
the specification shall be done on each lot separately.
The material to be selected from a lot shall be in
accordance with Table 8.
A.2.2 These rolls shall be selected at random from the
lot and to ensure randomness of selection, random
number tables shall be used. In case such a table in
not available, the following procedure may be
adopted:
Starting from any roll in the lot, count them as
integral part of N/n (N being the lot size and n
being the number of roll to be selected). Every
rth roll thus counted shall be withdrawn from
the lot to give samples for tests.
A-3 NUMBER OF TESTS
A-3.1 From each of roll selected according to A-2.2
test specimens necessary for carrying out the various
tests specified in this standard shall be taken, care being
exercised to exclude some amount of wool from the
top of the roll.
A-3.2 Tests for the determination of all characteristics
specified in this standard shal I be conducted on each
of the test specimens drawn from the roll as obtained
under A-3.1.
A-3.3 Criteria for Conformity
The lot shall be declared as conforming to the
requirements of this specification, if the different test
results obtained under A-3.2 meet the corresponding
requirements given in the standard individually.
