What is the perimeter in inches using the conversion factor of 2.54 cm?
25.4 cm = 10 inches
How many is 4 by 6 inches in cm?
4 by 6 inches = 24 inches = 60.96 cm.This is not the same as 4 inches x 6 inches, which is a measure of area and, therefore, has a different conversion factor.
How much is 6.1 feet in cm?
The conversion factor is 1 inch = 2.5 cm So first you would need to convert the feet with which you are beginning into inches. There are 12 inches in a foot, so multiply 6.1 feet by 12 inches which will give you 73.2 inches. Then multiply 73.2 inches by 2.5 cm (see conversion factor above) which gives you 183 centimeters.
What is the scale factor of the scale 1 inch equals 6 inches?
6
What is the scale factor if the scale is 8 inches equals 1 foot?
2:3
10 of fiberglass insulation provide how many R?
10 inches corresponds to about R-38.
What is the r value of 8 inches of fiberglass insulation?
technically unfaced fiberglass insulation has an r value of 21 for 6 inches but that's if its perfectly installed, no gaps, no crushes, no air moving through it, no moisture, and its completely in contact with the interior heated surface. Since its unfaced, we assume it will have moisture and air moving through it and an average installation, it's likely R-13 or less.
If attic has five-inches of loose-fill fiberglass . how many inchea of TAP insulation shouldbe added to obtain an R-38?
In the U K 250 millimeters /10 inches is the required limit so if you 5 inches just now you will have to add 5 inches on top the nearest size to that is 150 mm/ 6 inches
What is the recommended insulation thicknesses and densities for rigid polyurethane insulation for hot water piping application?
A contractor build two houses with 2 by 6 walls. He sprayed 1.5 inches of foam into the walls of one house and used standard fiberglass insulation for the other house. The house with polyurethane insulation always had lower electric bills. They believe this is do to the fact that the foam is the worlds best insulation and it seals all air leaks.
What value does 10 insulation give?
If you are referring to the R value of insulation, then 10 would be the 'thermal resistance' value of the insulation. A value of 10 is about what 3 1/2 inches of fiberglass batt insulation would give you. That is what you might put within your exterior walls if you are using wood studs. The higher the R value the better insulation you will have. When you add up all of the R values of the materials that make up your exterior wall you will get your total value. Depending on where your building is located, and the climate in that area, you will need to adjust your insulation accordingly.
How many inches of Cellulose Insulation equals r49?
R49 is equal to 13 settled inches of cellulose insulation. If the insulation has not settled yet then it should be between 15-16" deep.
How many inches of ISO insulation board is required on a flat roof?
12 inches
Why is rockwool insulation used?
Rock wool or mineral wool is a more compacted less friable type of molten silica (glass) wool for use as insulation it usually comes in boards or sheets of insulation from 1 to 6 inches thick. It is fairly stiff but slightly bendable it is easy to cut and shape and can be nailed or tacked into place. The heat rating and melting temperatures of rock wool are higher than fiberglass. It is usually used in industrial settings for kilns, industrial boilers, ovens and furnaces.
How thick is R's 38 insulation?
From everything I have seen it would be about 12 inches for conventional fiber glass insulation available from Home Depot or Lowes. Polyiso insulation can give up to r-6 per inch. That equates to 7 inches for r-42.

How much blow in insulation needed for 12' x 14' attic space?
It is difficult to give an answer in terms of number of inches or total volume / number of bags required. For one thing, it depends on how deep the insulation is, i.e. it takes twice as much to make it 6 inches deep as it does to make it 3 inches deep. The deeper / thicker the insulation, the more it insulates. This is usually expressed as an "R-Value" where a higher value is more insulation. Note also that there are different kinds of blow-in insulation, e.g. fiberglass and cellulose. These have different properties and require different amounts to achieve the same thermal effect. One easy way to figure this out would be to go to the store where you plan to purchase the insulation and look at the bag. The bag will have a chart that shows the square footage or dimensions of the space to be insulated and the number of bags required to achieve various R-Values. If you know the company who manufactures the insulation, you can check their website. It is quite likely they have a similar chart of calculator as well.
