The effect of compression on the material R-value of fiberglass Batt Insulation
Journal of Thermal Insulation, 1992Co-Authors: Ronald S. Graves, David W. YarbroughAbstract:Fiberglass Batt Insulations intended for use in buildings are labeled with an R-value and thickness at which the R-value is achieved. In some cases the Insulation is installed in such a way that the label thickness is not achieved. The material R-value of fiberglass Batts installed at less than full thickness will be less than the full-thickness R-value. Results are presented for values measured in accordance with ASTM C 518 for commercially available fiberglass Batts at full thickness and compressed to as much as 50% of full thickness. Thermal data and the resulting correlations are presented in this paper for six products manufactured in 1990. 4 refs., 6 tabs., 8 figs.

field test comparison of fiberglass Batt Insulation and loose fill poultry feather Insulation
Applied Engineering in Agriculture, 2001Co-Authors: R E B Ball, G L Van Wicklen, Mark A EitemanAbstract:The thermal Insulation properties of poultry feathers were compared with fiberglass in field tests over a 21–day period. Washed, defatted and dequilled poultry feathers were packed into panels and the ceiling of two boxes at a density of 14.8 kg/m 3 . Similarly, R–11 Kraft faced fiberglass Insulation was cut to fit the panels and the ceiling of two other boxes. Thermocouples in each Insulation box recorded temperatures at five locations during two separate trials. The results demonstrate that feathers at the studied packing density offer similar thermal resistance to fiberglass Insulation and would appear to be a cost–competitive material for some Insulation requirements.
