The values are given as 50 % and 90 % fractiles (P) of the existing range of -valuesfor a certain material for a given density.4.2.2 Measured -values (determination based on -density relation and initial type testing of)When a manufacturer decides to determine a -value from test measurement, the following procedureshall be used:4.2.2.1 Test specimensTake detailed information about test specimens from ISO 8302 and from prEN 12664.NOTECare should be taken that the test specimens are representative of the masonry product itself. Anappropriate way to ensure this, is to cut specimens from masonry units.4.2.2.2 Conditioning of specimensNormally masonry materials are tested in a dry condition. It is also possible to carry out tests in amoist condition (e.g. conditioned to constant mass in an environment of 23 °C
2 °C and 50 %
5 %relative humidity), in which case the measured value has to be converted to the dry state.4.2.2.3 Test measurementUse as the reference test method ISO 8302. More detailed information about the testing procedure formasonry materials is given in prEN 12664.Alternative test methods, such as ISO 8301, which may require different test specimens and differentconditioning methods, may be used, if the correlation between the reference test method and thealternative method can be given.4.2.2.4 The determination of the basic -valueThe determination of the basic -value is based on the mean -value and the limit -value.

is defined as the factor, which describes how many times higherthe diffusion resistance of a material layer is, than the resistance of an air layer with the same thicknessunder the same conditions. To compare the diffusion resistance of two building elements, it is necessaryto multiply the -factor by the thickness of the respective layer, which leads to a figure with thedimension m. The diffusion behaviour is different, whether it is diffusion into a building component (lowervalues) or out of the building component (drying period, higher value).Table A.1 — Clay units (fired clay)10,dryDensity of thematerial[W/mK]Water vapourdiffusion coefficientc[kg/m3]P = 50 %P = 90 %[kJ/kgK]10000,200,275/101,011000,230,305/101,012000,260,335/101,013000,300,365/101,014000,340,405/101,015000,370,435/101,016000,410,475/101,017000,450,515/101,018000,490,555/101,019000,530,605/101,020000,580,645/101,021000,620,695/101,022000,670,745/101,023000,720,795/101,024000,770,845/101,0f = 10 (m3/m3)For clay materials with a density between 1800 kg/m3 and 2400 kg/m3 used as facing materials, whichare normally fired at a significantly higher temperature, the -value is 50/100 instead of 5/10.SIST EN 1745:2004
