AS 2464.3-1983 sets out a method of test to determine the thermal resistance of low-density fibrous loose-fill thermal insulation for use in the temperature range −18°C to 55°C.

This standard sets out a method of test to determine the thermal resistance of low-density fibrous loose-fill thermal insulation for use in the temperature range -18C to 55C. It is primarily intended for use with pneumatically applied thermal insulation, but it may also be used with poured-in-place thermal insulation.
