An R1 would be like a window. R30 is about 12" of insulation. The insulation value applies to heat or cold.
Just the opposite. Like the 'SPF' of suntan lotion, and like the resistance ofan electrical component, the higher number allows less to soak through.
as far as for electricity not any glove will do only rubber gloves rated for dealing with electricity
Insulation is rated in terms of thermal resistance, called R-value, which indicates the resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating effectiveness. The R-value of thermal insulation depends on the type of material, its thickness, and its density. In calculating the R-value of a multi-layered installation, the R-values of the individual layers are added.
It depends on the application. Ceramics are probably the best without specifics. Fiberglass and aluminum foils are also very good it certain situations.
No, fluorine is not a good thermal conductor, in fact, like most gasses it is really bad at it. Thermal conductors are rated by W/cmK. Without going into the explanation, a higher number represents a better conductor, and 0.0 means no conductivity at all. Fluorine is rated at 0.000279 W/cmK. By comparison, copper, which is an excellent conductor, is rated at 4.01 W/cmK.
R35 insulation allows LESS heat to pass through than R1 insulation.
Just the opposite. Like the 'SPF' of suntan lotion, and like the resistance ofan electrical component, the higher number allows less to soak through.
Insulators are always rated for voltage. Voltage, or potential difference, is the energy that is available to make the electrons jump from the conductor, through the insulator, to the next available conductor. Current is the electron flow through the wire.A great example of why current is not an issue in insulation issues is that you could have 1000 amps (the measurement of current) going through a wire at 1 volt and have no problem with almost any insulator. You would need a very good insulator for less then a amp of current though if the voltage was 100,000 volts.

High rod insulators are used for the insulation of medium and high voltage transmission lines. Long rod insulators meet IEC standards and are rated up to 800 kV.
Yes. <<>> A #10 copper conductor with an insulation rating of 90 degrees C is rated at 30 amps. A #14 copper conductor with an insulation rating of 90 degrees C is rated at 15 amps.
Rated insulation voltage is the maximum voltage that can be applied to the insulation of an electrical device without causing a breakdown or failure. It is a measure of the insulation's ability to withstand high voltage without impacting its performance or safety. The rated insulation voltage is typically specified by the manufacturer and is an important parameter to consider when designing or selecting electrical equipment.
A #8 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C are both rated at 45 amps.
Someone can find the top rated window insulation kits on an online site that lets some people leave reviews. Amazon is a great place to find the top rated window insulation kits.
Can lights that are rated as IC "insulation contact" are the only style approved for use with blown or batt insulation.
There are a number of well rated insulation boards that one can use in their home and deciding the best is quite subjective. Some of the best rated include 'iQ-Therm', 'Cavity' and 'Kilma'.
