provide
thermal performance levels achievable
for the ELAMINATOR Insulation
System installed with 300 Series
machines with either ELAMINATOR
Insulation or Cetified-R Metal Building
Insulation.
About the Numbers
The performance of an insulation
system depends not only on the amount
of insulation installed, but also on the
construction details of the building
envelope. This is particularly true for
metal buildings where structural steel
components and fasteners can have a
dramatic effect on the overall thermal
performance. To address the
complexities involved, Owens Corning
uses a combination of large scale hot
box testing (per ASTM 976) and
mathematical modeling to estimate the
overall U-values of these systems. The
modeling utilizes the ANSYS
®
finite
element analysis (FEA) software
package.
The tables provide estimates of the
overall U-value of the standing-seam
roof systems, including appropriate air
films on top and bottom surfaces. Table
1 gives performance values at a mean
temperature of 75
°F using Owens
Corning Certified-R Metal Building
Insulation for single and double layers.
Table 2 gives performance values at a
mean temperature of 75
°F using Owens
Corning unfaced ELAMINATOR
Insulation for single and double layers.
Note: Units on U-values are Btu/(hr. ft
2
°F), R-values are hr. ft
2
°F/Btu.
Data obtained by ANSYS, finite-element model, validated by hot box test (ASTM C 976).

Insulation System
300 Series Machines
The 300 Series Machines install Owens
Coming ELAMINATOR Insulation or
Certified-R Metal Building Insulation
unfaced, out-of-package, for both single
and double layers with a vapor retarder.
This provides a cost-effective
installation with an attractive
appearance. Proper use of the 300
Series Machines enables the
ELAMINATOR licensee and contractor
to comply with OSHA standards. Owens
Corning has a Certified ELAMINATOR
Operator Program (CEOP) where a
trained operator who is certified or an
apprentice in the CEOP is required to
operate the machines at all time for the
entire project. This helps to insure
proper use of the equipment. For a
franchisee near you, call 1-800-GET-PINK.
