BS EN ISO 9288:1996 is a European Standard that has been adopted from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This standard focuses on thermal insulation and, in particular, addresses the topic of heat transfer by radiation. Here's what this standard covers:
Thermal Insulation: Thermal insulation involves materials and products designed to reduce the transfer of heat between different environments. These materials are used in various applications, such as buildings, industrial equipment, and transportation, to control temperature and conserve energy.
Heat Transfer by Radiation: Heat transfer by radiation is one of the three fundamental modes of heat transfer, alongside conduction and convection. Radiation heat transfer occurs through electromagnetic waves (usually infrared radiation) emitted by hot surfaces and absorbed by cooler surfaces. It is important to understand and quantify this mode of heat transfer, especially when designing thermal insulation systems.
Physical Quantities: The standard defines and describes physical quantities related to heat transfer by radiation. These quantities include parameters like emissivity, absorptivity, reflectivity, and transmissivity. These parameters are crucial for characterizing how different materials interact with thermal radiation.
Definitions: BS EN ISO 9288 provides clear definitions for key terms and concepts related to heat transfer by radiation. This ensures that professionals in the field have a common understanding of the terminology used in radiation heat transfer analysis.
