Rigid Roof Insulation Weight
Rigid Roof Insulation Weight
(OP)
ASCE states that rigid roof insulation weighs 1.5 psf per inch of thickness, whereas, polyiso insulation, like Thermax, is < 0.25psf per inch.
Is there a reason why ASCE might be so much heavier? Is it assuming some sort of saturation?

I have no problem using the catch-all value for normal gravity design, my issue is with the wind uplift, you would want to use a more accurate value.
