Apache-Tables User Guide: IES Virtual Environment 6.4Parameter source

Where: Table 6, System Material Database, Insulating Materials, Mineral Fibre Slab row, p. 15

Reports conductivity 0.035 W/(m K), specific heat 1000 J/(kg K), and density 30 kg/m3.

Assessment findings

Namesupported
Table 6 names the material Mineral Fibre Slab; the record's parentheses do not change its identity.
Targetsupported
Table 6 reports the three stored thermophysical material properties in their database units.
Valuessupported
The Mineral Fibre Slab row reports thermal conductivity 0.035 W/(m K), specific heat 1000 J/(kg K), and density 30 kg/m3, exactly the complete active tuple.
Sourcesupported
The official IES System Material Database table publishes every active value; the legacy Ref 99240099 was explicitly a missing-reference placeholder and is replaced by this source.
issue #276
Placenot applicable
Representativenessnot applicable
Methodsupported
Literature adoption is appropriate because the record takes an existing System Material Database row.
Identitysupported
Stable record path, name, legacy ID and all parameter values are preserved.

Scientific note

The historical workbook row and the IES table have an exact name-and-value match; this record has no optical fields, so the source supports the complete active parameter tuple.
