Thermal insulating products for industrial installations — Mechanical properties testing at sub-ambient temperatures prEN ISO 16685

Scope

This document specifies the equipment and procedures for determining the mechanical properties at sub-
ambient temperatures from −196 °C to 25 °C, subject to the possible temperature limitation of the test
specimens. It is not applicable to products which experience dimensional changes during the test due to the
loss of hydration water or which undergo other phase changes.
