Nomenclature
The following definitions apply:

  • Thermal conductivity, k: measured in W/rnK @ mean temperature of 24 'C unless otherwise specified 
  • Thermal Resistance, R: measured in M2K/W 
  • Noise Reduction Coefficient, NRC: The average sound absorption coefficient for a range of frequencies. Useful only for simple comparison between materials. 
  • All dimensions are in mm.
