How this comparison works
“Typical” means the median: the middle value after the compared pads are ordered from lowest to highest.
A pad is included when its current R-value has product/value evidence that explicitly supports ASTM F3340 and is not a manufacturer estimate. Products without data that meets this rule are not included.
