9" Batt Insulattion 1

[mstructural]

Trying to estimate dead load for 9" Batt insulation for an existing roof framing analysis. What would be a good reference to use to come up with a good estimate? Thanks.

approx less than 1.5 psf.

Check with Dow-Corning web site for batt insulation.

thanks dik for the response. Is that 1.5psf for the whole 9" insulation?
Do you happen to know the link to where on Dow-Corning web site they keep this info?

It's for the full thickness... catch the link:
