    Committee C16 on Thermal Insulation

    Staff Manager: Timothy Brooke (610) 832-9729

    Committee Overview:

    ASTM Committee C16 on Thermal Insulation was formed in 1938. C16 meets twice a year, usually in April and October, with approximately 120 members attending over three days of technical meetings capped by a discussion on relevant topics in the Thermal Insulation industry. The committee, with current membership of approximately 350, currently has jurisdiction of over 134 standards, published in the Annual Book of ASTM Standards, Volume 04.06. These standards have and continue to play a preeminent role in all aspects important to the industry of thermal insulation, including products, systems, and associated coatings and coverings, excluding refractories.
