Historical Standard: ASTM C1363-05 Standard Test Method for Thermal Performance of Building Materials and Envelope Assemblies by Means of a Hot Box Apparatus
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM C1363
1. Scope
1.1 This test method establishes the principles for the design of a hot box apparatus and the minimum requirements for the determination of the steady state thermal performance of building assemblies when exposed to controlled laboratory conditions. This method is also used to measure the thermal performance of a building material at standardized test conditions such as those required in material Specifications C 739, C 764, C 1224 and Practice C 1373.
1.2 This test method is used for large homogeneous or non-homogeneous specimens. This test method applies to building structures or composite assemblies of building materials for which it is possible to build a representative specimen that fits the test apparatus. The dimensions of specimen projections or recesses are controlled by the design of the hot box apparatus. Some hot boxes are limited to planar or nearly planar specimens. However, larger hot boxes have been used to characterize projecting skylights and attic sections. See 3.2 for a definition of the test specimen and other terms specific to this method.
Note 1This test method replaces Test Methods C 236, the Guarded Hot Box, and C 976, the Calibrated Hot Box which have been withdrawn. Test apparatus designed and operated previously under Test Methods C 236 and C 976 will require slight modifications to the calibration and operational procedures to meet the requirements of Test Method C 1363.
