General Information General Information Insulated Metal Panels, or IMPs, are structural wall and roof panels that also provide significant insulation properties. They are typically made of two metal skins on either side of a rigid foam insulation layer. The metal skins are chemically bonded to the foam and act in conjunction with it to provide a composite structural member capable of spanning distances to 10 feet or more while supporting transverse loads. The foam core acts alone to provide the thermal transmission resistance, or R-Value, as part of a building envelope system. Other aspects...

General Information can only be measured by testing since the foam provides some support to compression elements in the skin. Compressive strength of the foam by itself is also accurately determined by panel testing. However, in order to provide increased resistance to foot traffic and aid in proper fastener installation, it is often specified separately. ASTM D1621 is used to determine the foam compressive strength in this case. Often, the tensile strength and shear strength of the foam core itself is specified by the designer. Although the tensile strength of the foam is important to the...

General Information manufacturers publish R-Values inclusive of air film effects. An R-value should never be specified without clear indication of all of these parameters. An example might be: Insulated metal panels must have an R-Value of 14 hr-ft-deg F/BTU when tested to ASTM C1363 at a mean temperature of 75 degrees Fahrenheit with horizontal heat flow. The tested specimen must be at least 64 square feet and incorporate at least two side joints. Air film effects shall not be included in the R-Value. Fire Design Only by providing these specific parameters can the designer be assured of...
