Disclosure to Promote the Right To Information

Whereas the Parliament of India has set out to provide a practical regime of right to
information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities,
in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority,
and whereas the attached publication of the Bureau of Indian Standards is of particular interest
to the public, particularly disadvantaged communities and those engaged in the pursuit of
education and knowledge, the attached public safety standard is made available to promote the
timely dissemination of this information in an accurate manner to the public.

NOTES
1 The indicated thermal conductivity only applies where a flow of air that can make an appreciable difference to the insulation

cannot arise in the material or flow through it.

2 The thermal conductivity indicated is only valid where no airflow is possible in the joints between the sheets.
3 If the insulation is compressed, the thickness in the compressed state is to be used as the basis for the calculation of the heat
transfer coefficient.
