Insulation

Also called: acoustic insulation, sound isolation
NCC
in relation to an FRL, means the ability to maintain a temperature on the surface not exposed to the furnace below the limits specified in AS 1530.4.

HB50
<acoustic>
<building> reduction of sound energy passing through building elements
<materials> materials or methods of construction to reduce the transmission of airborne and structure-borne sound through walls, floors, or other enclosing elements in buildings
HB50
<duct> external lining of rigid or flexible duct usually provided for thermal or acoustic insulation, or both, including any facing material thereon
<electrical> physical separation of adjacent electrical conductors and/or protection from personal contact by a non-conducting substance or by an air space, to provide permanent resistance to the passage of current or to disruptive discharges through or over the surface of the substance or space, and to obviate danger of electric shock or injurious leakage of current
An insulation system can comprise several layers.
<fire> ability of a fire-separating member, such as a wall or floor, to limit the surface temperature on one side of the member when exposed to fire on the other side
<fire resistance test> time, in minutes, for which a prototype specimen of a fire-separating member limits the transmission of heat through a specimen when subjected to a standard fire resistance test
<pipe> treatment of a pipe surface to prevent heat loss from, or heat gain to, the transmitted fluid
See also: lagging; wrapping
<thermal> material with low thermal conductivity used to improve resistance to the transmission of heat and cold
