Laboratory testing program for thermal insulation products in buildings:

• determination of thermal conductivity;
• determination of dimensions and shapes;
• determination of dimensional stability;
• determination of compressive stress;
• determination of water absorption;
• determination of deformation under specified compressive load.

Laboratory testing program for factory made insulation of pipes includes:

• determination of heat flow properties;
• determination of dimensions and shapes;
• determination of density;
• determination of water absorption;
• determination of water vapour diffusion resistance.

Laboratory testing program for components of preinsulated bonded pipe systems includes:

• determination of cell structure for plastic rigid foam insulation;
• determination of water absorption by polyurethane rigid foam in higher temperature;
• determination of foam density;
• determination of geometric parameters of pipe assembly consisting of a steel service pipe, thermal polyurethane insulation and polyethylene pipe casing;
