CEN - EN ISO 15758

Hygrothermal performance of building equipment and industrial installations - Calculation of water vapour diffusion - Cold pipe insulation systems

active, Most Current
Organization: CEN
Publication Date: 1 May 2014
Status: active
Page Count: 26
ICS Code (Installations in buildings in general): 91.140.01
ICS Code (Thermal insulation of buildings): 91.120.10
scope:

This International Standard specifies a method for calculating the density of the water vapour flow rate in cold pipe insulation systems, and the total amount of water diffused into the insulation over time. The calculation method presupposes that water vapour can only migrate into the insulation system by diffusion, with no contribution from airflow. It also assumes the use of homogeneous, isotropic insulation materials so that the water vapour partial pressure is constant at all points equidistant from the axis of the pipe.

This International Standard is applicable when the temperature of the medium in the pipe is above 0 °C. It applies to pipes inside buildings as well as in the open air.
