ISO 23993:2008(E) iv © ISO 2008 – All rights reserved Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 23993 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC 89, Thermal performance of buildings and building components, in collaboration with ISO Technical Committee ISO/TC 163, Thermal performance and energy use in the built environment, Subcommittee SC 2, Calculation methods, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement). This International Standard is one of a series of standards on methods for the design and evaluation of the thermal performance of building equipment and industrial installations. This corrected version of ISO 23993:2008 incorporates the following corrections plus other minor editorial modifications. Clause 4: The following two rows have been added to the table: N number of spacers per square metre —
∆λsq=thermal conductivity per spacer per square metre W/(m.K)
Clause 6: Equations (1) and (2) have been re-inserted: dF=+∆λλλ (1) macdjCFFFFFFFF∆θ= (2) 7.9.2.2: The calculations have been modified as follows (i.e. with the substitution of ∆λsq, the thermal conductivity per spacer per square metre, for ∆λ= i.e., with the deletion of “/spacers/m2” from the units): Spacers of steel in the form of a flat bar 30 mm × 3 mm ∆λsq = 0,003 5 W/(m·K) 40 mm × 4 mm ∆λsq = 0,006 0 W/(m·K) 50 mm × 5 mm ∆λsq= 0,008 5 W/(m·K) SIST EN ISO 23993:2011



ISO 23993:2008(E) © ISO 2008 – All rights reserved vA new Equation (6) has been added to define the relationship between ∆λ and ∆λsq and the original Equation (6) renumbered to Equation (7). 7.9.3: The units “W(m·K)” have been corrected to “W/(m·K)”. A.4.1 (twice) and A.4.2 (twice): The term “specific” has been added to the definition of W, “specific airflow resistance.” Annex B: The additional subtitles and introductory text, “B.1
Insulation materials” and “B.2
Conditions” have been added. The line “Determination of the conversion factors and ∆λ” has been restyled as B.3 and introductory text added. Table C.1: The vertical line separating the subheadings “calcium-magnesium silicate fibre” and “calcium silicate” and “microporous insulants” each from the subheading “Insulation” has been moved one column to the left, i.e. from between the pictures for the two pipes to between the column “Application.” and the picture of the horizontal pipe (consistent with other similar rows such as that for “mineral wool”). Table C.1 (four times): The term “airflow resistance” has been replaced with the term “airflow resistivity”. SIST EN ISO 23993:2011



ISO 23993:2008(E) vi © ISO 2008 – All rights reserved Introduction The establishment of design values for thermal conductivity for the calculation of the thermal performance of insulation systems for building equipment and industrial installations requires a consideration of various possible influences affecting the thermal properties of the insulation products employed due to the operational conditions of any individual insulation system. Among these influences could be: ⎯ the non-linearity of the thermal conductivity curve over the temperature range in which the insulant may be employed; ⎯ the thickness effect; ⎯ the effect of moisture in the insulant; ⎯ ageing effects, beyond those already incorporated in the declared value; ⎯ special installation effects such as single- or multi-layered installation. In this International Standard, the conversion factors F, that need to be used in a variety of applications for a variety of insulation products, are given and the principles and general equations as well as some guidance for the establishment of design values for the calculation of the thermal performance of insulation systems are described. The conversion factors valid for commonly employed insulation products are given in annexes. They are well established in some cases and for some materials. Where experience is lacking and conversion factors cannot be established accurately, they are given in the form of an “educated estimate” so that the calculation result will be on the safe side, i.e. the calculated heat transfer will be greater than that actually occurring when the calculation has obeyed the rules of this International Standard.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 23993:2008(E) © ISO 2008 – All rights reserved 1Thermal insulation products for building equipment and industrial installations — Determination of design thermal conductivity 1 Scope This International Standard gives methods to calculate design thermal conductivities from declared thermal conductivities for the calculation of the thermal performance of building equipment and industrial installations. These methods are valid for operating temperatures from −200 °C to +800 °C. The conversion factors, established for the different influences, are valid for the temperature ranges indicated in the relevant clauses or annexes. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. ISO 7345, Thermal insulation — Physical quantities and definitions ISO 8497, Thermal insulation — Determination of steady-state thermal transmission properties of thermal insulation for circular pipes ISO 9053, Acoustics — Material for acoustical applications — Determination of airflow resistance ISO 9229, Thermal insulation — Vocabulary ISO 13787, Thermal insulation products for building equipment and industrial installations — Determination of declared thermal conductivity 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 7345, ISO 9229 and the following apply. 3.1 declared thermal conductivity value of the thermal conductivity of a material or product used for building equipment and industrial installations: ⎯ based on measured data at reference conditions of temperature and humidity; ⎯ given as a limit value, in accordance with the determination method in ISO 13787; ⎯ corresponding to a reasonable expected service lifetime under normal conditions SIST EN ISO 23993:2011

The declared thermal conductivity shall be determined either at a thickness large enough to neglect the thickness effect or, for smaller thicknesses, based on measurements at those thicknesses. 6 Determination of the design value of thermal conductivity The design value of thermal conductivity shall be determined from the declared thermal conductivity for the set of conditions corresponding to the conditions of the expected application. Possible influences include the following: a) the average operating temperature, together with the hot and cold surface temperatures; b) the average moisture content expected when the material is in equilibrium with a defined atmosphere (temperature and relative humidity); c) the ageing effect according to the application, if not included in the declared value; d) the compression applied in the application; e) the convection effect in the material; f) the thickness effect; g) the open joint effect; h) the insulation-related thermal bridges, (thermal bridges that are regular part of the insulation system, e.g. spacers), which are taken into account via a term ∆λ. The design value of thermal conductivity shall be obtained either ⎯ from a declared thermal conductivity converted to the conditions of the application using Equation (1): dF=+∆λλλ (1) where the additional term ∆ is obtained as given in 7.9 and the overall conversion factor F is given by: macdjCFFFFFFFF∆θ= (2) ⎯ or from values measured under application conditions. NOTE Approximate values for F can be found in the informative Annex C. 7 Conversion of available data 7.1 General Values of the different conversion factors for some insulating materials and operating conditions are given in Annex A. Conversion factors derived from measured values according to the appropriate test methods, e.g. EN 12667 or ISO 8497, may be used instead of the values in Annex A. If the material does not correspond to the conditions for which the factors are given in Annex A, then the conversion factors derived from measured values shall be used. SIST EN ISO 23993:2011



ISO 23993:2008(E) 4 © ISO 2008 – All rights reserved 7.2 Conversion factor for temperature difference If the design thermal conductivity is requested at the same reference mean temperature and if the hot and cold surface temperatures are the same as for the declared thermal conductivity, no conversion is needed (F∆θ = 1). In the case of thermal conductivity measurement made with the pipe tester (ISO 8497), no conversion is needed when the measurement is carried out with the full temperature difference ∆θ. If the design thermal conductivity is to be determined at another temperature from declared thermal conductivities given in the form of a table of values at different temperatures, interpolation between values in the table shall be based on the use of a best-fit equation such as a regression polynomial, of an order sufficient to provide a correlation coefficient, r W 0,98. If the design thermal conductivity is needed at the same reference mean temperature, but for another hot and cold surface temperature difference, than that used for determining the declared thermal conductivity, the conversion factor F∆θ shall be determined according to the procedure as given in A.1. If the thermal conductivity measurement has been carried out with the full temperature difference, F∆θ = 1. If the thermal conductivity measurement has been carried out with a ∆θ not exceeding 50 K, the procedure for non-linearity applies. If the design thermal conductivity is needed at another mean temperature than that of the declared thermal conductivity and with another temperature difference, the procedures outlined above shall be followed successively. As an alternative, the influence of the non-linearity of the thermal conductivity curve may be taken into account by integrating the measured curve as given by Equation (3): ()21211dθθλλθθθθ=−∫ (3) The temperature difference conversion factor is given by: ()Fθλλθ∆= (4) where ()λθ is the value read on the curve at the reference temperature. 7.3 Conversion factor for moisture The conversion factor Fm for volume-related moisture content shall be determined as follows: ()21mefFψψψ−= (5) where fψ is the moisture content conversion coefficient volume by volume; ψ1 is the moisture content volume by volume for the determination of declared value of thermal conductivity; ψ2 is the moisture content volume by volume for the actual application. The content of moisture in a given application shall be determined either ⎯ by measurements carried out in the conditions of the expected application, or SIST EN ISO 23993:2011



ISO 23993:2008(E) © ISO 2008 – All rights reserved 5⎯ by theoretical calculations using proven methods such as those given in ISO 15758 based on measured values as described in ISO 12572, provided the assumptions on which they are based are met. NOTE A possible test method to determine moisture content is given in EN 12088. If needed for the application, the time period indicated in EN 12088 can be extended. Some values of the coefficient fψ are given in A.2. 7.4 Conversion factor for ageing The ageing depends upon the material type, facings, structures, the blowing agent, the temperature and the thickness of the material. For a given material, the ageing effect can be obtained from theoretical models validated by experimental data (see procedure in the product standard, where applicable). No conversion is needed when the declared thermal conductivity or resistance already takes account of ageing or when the ageing effect has been determined in conditions which do not significantly differ from the design set of conditions. If the set of conditions for the design thermal conductivities significantly differs from that in which the ageing effect of the declared thermal conductivity has been determined, an ageing test in the set of conditions of the design thermal conductivities shall be carried out. If a conversion factor Fa is used, it shall allow for the calculation of the aged value of the thermal property corresponding to a time not less than half the working lifetime of the product in the application concerned. NOTE 1 The working lifetime for building equipment is often taken as 50 years. NOTE 2 No conversion coefficients are given in this International Standard to derive the ageing conversion factor Fa. No ageing conversion factor shall be used for mineral wool, ceramic fibre, calcium-magnesium silicate fibre, calcium silicate, flexible elastomeric foam and cellular glass. 7.5 Conversion factor for compression For compressible insulation products, the apparent density may change when the product is subject to load. The influence on the thermal conductivity shall be taken into account by the factor FC, which shall be calculated as given in A.3. 7.6 Conversion factor for convection The effect of convection in the case of vertical insulation layers shall be taken into account by a convection factor Fc. The factor Fc shall be calculated as given in A.4. 7.7 Conversion factor for thickness effect For insulation materials permeable to radiation, the thermal conductivity changes with increasing thickness. If the design thermal conductivity is needed at other thicknesses than those of the declared thermal conductivity, the factor Fd shall be determined as given in A.5. 7.8 Conversion factor for regular joints The influence of joints on the design thermal conductivity shall be addressed by the conversion factor Fj, which shall be calculated as given in A.6. The conversion factor Fj shall be applied if the thermal conductivity has been measured in accordance with ISO 8497, with a pipe tester having fewer joints than the actual application. SIST EN ISO 23993:2011



ISO 23993:2008(E) 6 © ISO 2008 – All rights reserved 7.9 Additional thermal conductivity for regularly insulation-related thermal bridges, e.g. spacers 7.9.1 General Components in the insulating layer which are regularly-spaced insulation-related thermal bridges like spacers are taken into account by adding ∆λ to the corrected thermal conductivity λd of the installed insulation product as given in Equation (1). Plant-related and irregularly-spaced insulation-related thermal bridges, e.g. pipe mountings, supports, armatures and frontal plates are thermal bridges which have to be considered as additional heat losses, e.g. as described in ISO 12241. 7.9.2 Spacers 7.9.2.1 Spacers for sheet metal pipeline jackets The additional thermal conductivity depends on a number of variables. The values indicated in the following are approximate values and apply to common insulating layer thicknesses from 100 mm to 300 mm and common insulation systems for heat protection. NOTE 1 Reference [9] in the Bibliography provides possible procedures for special insulation systems. Additions to thermal conductivity for steel spacers ∆λ = 0,010 W/(m·K) for austenitic steel spacers ∆λ = 0,004 W/(m·K) for ceramic spacers ∆λ = 0,003 W/(m·K) NOTE 2 These values can be used in the range of 50 mm to 200 mm, see Reference [10]. 7.9.2.2 Spacers for sheet metal jackets for walls Spacers of steel in the form of a flat bar 30 mm × 3 mm ∆λsq = 0,003 5 W/(m·K) 40 mm × 4 mm ∆λsq = 0,006 0 W/(m·K) 50 mm × 5 mm ∆λsq= 0,008 5 W/(m·K) Additions ∆λ to thermal conductivity to account for spacers for sheet metal jackets for walls depend on the number of spacers per square metre (m2). The total addition is calculated by: sqNλλ∆=∆ (6) where N is the number of spacers per square metre (m2); ∆λsq is the thermal conductivity per spacer per square metre. SIST EN ISO 23993:2011



ISO 23993:2008(E) © ISO 2008 – All rights reserved 77.9.3 Mechanical fasteners penetrating an insulation layer Additions ∆λ to thermal conductivity to account for fasteners depend on the number of fasteners per square metre (m2) and on the geometry. The total addition is calculated by: inλλ∆=∆ (7) where ∆λi is the additional conductivity due to fastener i (i = 1 … n). For steel fasteners, diameter 4 mm, 9 fasteners/m2: ∆λ = 0,006 W/(m⋅K).

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 23993 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee
CEN/TC 89, Thermal performance of buildings and building components, in collaboration with ISO Technical
Committee ISO/TC 163, Thermal performance and energy use in the built environment, Subcommittee SC 2,
Calculation methods, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN
(Vienna Agreement).
This International Standard is one of a series of standards on methods for the design and evaluation of the
thermal performance of building equipment and industrial installations.

Introduction
The establishment of design values for thermal conductivity for the calculation of the thermal performance of
insulation systems for building equipment and industrial installations requires a consideration of various
possible influences affecting the thermal properties of the insulation products employed due to the operational
conditions of any individual insulation system.
Among these influences could be:
⎯ the non-linearity of the thermal conductivity curve over the temperature range in which the insulant may
be employed;
⎯ the thickness effect;
⎯ the effect of moisture in the insulant;
⎯ ageing effects, beyond those already incorporated in the declared value;
⎯ special installation effects such as single- or multi-layered installation.
In this International Standard, the conversion factors F, that need to be used in a variety of applications for a
variety of insulation products, are given and the principles and general equations as well as some guidance
for the establishment of design values for the calculation of the thermal performance of insulation systems are
described. The conversion factors valid for commonly employed insulation products are given in annexes.
They are well established in some cases and for some materials. Where experience is lacking and conversion
factors cannot be established accurately, they are given in the form of an “educated estimate” so that the
calculation result will be on the safe side, i.e. the calculated heat transfer will be greater than that actually
occurring when the calculation has obeyed the rules of this International Standard.

The product shall be described by its characteristics including a clear identification of the materials, the type
of facing if any, the structure, the blowing agent, the thickness and any other parameters having a possible
influence on thermal conductivity.
The declared thermal conductivity shall be determined either at a thickness large enough to neglect the
thickness effect or, for smaller thicknesses, based on measurements at those thicknesses.
6 Determination of the design value of thermal conductivity
The design value of thermal conductivity shall be determined from the declared thermal conductivity for the set
of conditions corresponding to the conditions of the expected application. Possible influences include the
following:
a) the average operating temperature, together with the hot and cold surface temperatures;
b) the average moisture content expected when the material is in equilibrium with a defined atmosphere
(temperature and relative humidity);
c) the ageing effect according to the application, if not included in the declared value;
d) the compression applied in the application;
e) the convection effect in the material;
f) the thickness effect;
g) the open joint effect;
h) the insulation-related thermal bridges, (thermal bridges that are regular part of the insulation system, e.g.
spacers), which are taken into account via a term ∆λ.
The design value of thermal conductivity shall be obtained either
⎯ from a declared thermal conductivity converted to the conditions of the application using Equation (1):

7 Conversion of available data
7.1 General
Values of the different conversion factors for some insulating materials and operating conditions are given in
Annex A. Conversion factors derived from measured values according to the appropriate test methods, e.g.
EN 12667 or ISO 8497, may be used instead of the values in Annex A. If the material does not correspond to
the conditions for which the factors are given in Annex A, then the conversion factors derived from measured
values shall be used.

7.2 Conversion factor for temperature difference
If the design thermal conductivity is requested at the same reference mean temperature and if the hot and
cold surface temperatures are the same as for the declared thermal conductivity, no conversion is needed
(F = 1).
∆θ
In the case of thermal conductivity measurement made with the pipe tester (ISO 8497), no conversion is
needed when the measurement is carried out with the full temperature difference ∆θ.
If the design thermal conductivity is to be determined at another temperature from declared thermal
conductivities given in the form of a table of values at different temperatures, interpolation between values in
the table shall be based on the use of a best-fit equation such as a regression polynomial, of an order
sufficient to provide a correlation coefficient, r W 0,98.
If the design thermal conductivity is needed at the same reference mean temperature, but for another hot and
cold surface temperature difference, than that used for determining the declared thermal conductivity, the
conversion factor F shall be determined according to the procedure as given in A.1.
∆θ
If the thermal conductivity measurement has been carried out with the full temperature difference, F = 1. If
∆θ
the thermal conductivity measurement has been carried out with a ∆θ not exceeding 50 K, the procedure for
non-linearity applies.
If the design thermal conductivity is needed at another mean temperature than that of the declared thermal
conductivity and with another temperature difference, the procedures outlined above shall be followed
successively. As an alternative, the influence of the non-linearity of the thermal conductivity curve may be
taken into account by integrating the measured curve as given by Equation (3):

values as described in ISO 12572, provided the assumptions on which they are based are met.
NOTE A possible test method to determine moisture content is given in EN 12088. If needed for the application, the
time period indicated in EN 12088 can be extended.
Some values of the coefficient f are given in A.2.

7.4 Conversion factor for ageing
The ageing depends upon the material type, facings, structures, the blowing agent, the temperature and the
thickness of the material. For a given material, the ageing effect can be obtained from theoretical models
validated by experimental data (see procedure in the product standard, where applicable).
No conversion is needed when the declared thermal conductivity or resistance already takes account of
ageing or when the ageing effect has been determined in conditions which do not significantly differ from the
design set of conditions.
If the set of conditions for the design thermal conductivities significantly differs from that in which the ageing
effect of the declared thermal conductivity has been determined, an ageing test in the set of conditions of the
design thermal conductivities shall be carried out.
If a conversion factor F is used, it shall allow for the calculation of the aged value of the thermal property
a
corresponding to a time not less than half the working lifetime of the product in the application concerned.
NOTE 1 The working lifetime for building equipment is often taken as 50 years.
NOTE 2 No conversion coefficients are given in this International Standard to derive the ageing conversion factor F .
a
No ageing conversion factor shall be used for mineral wool, ceramic fibre, calcium-magnesium silicate fibre,
calcium silicate, flexible elastomeric foam and cellular glass.
7.5 Conversion factor for compression
For compressible insulation products, the apparent density may change when the product is subject to load.
The influence on the thermal conductivity shall be taken into account by the factor F , which shall be
C
calculated as given in A.3.
7.6 Conversion factor for convection
The effect of convection in the case of vertical insulation layers shall be taken into account by a convection
factor F .
c
The factor F shall be calculated as given in A.4.
c
7.7 Conversion factor for thickness effect
For insulation materials permeable to radiation, the thermal conductivity changes with increasing thickness. If
the design thermal conductivity is needed at other thicknesses than those of the declared thermal conductivity,
the factor F shall be determined as given in A.5.
d
7.8 Conversion factor for regular joints
The influence of joints on the design thermal conductivity shall be addressed by the conversion factor F ,
j
which shall be calculated as given in A.6.
The conversion factor F shall be applied if the thermal conductivity has been measured in accordance with
j
ISO 8497, with a pipe tester having fewer joints than the actual application.

7.9 Additional thermal conductivity for regularly insulation-related thermal bridges,
e.g. spacers
7.9.1 General
Components in the insulating layer which are regularly-spaced insulation-related thermal bridges like spacers
are taken into account by adding ∆λ to the corrected thermal conductivity λ of the installed insulation product
d
as given in Equation (1).
Plant-related and irregularly-spaced insulation-related thermal bridges, e.g. pipe mountings, supports,
armatures and frontal plates are thermal bridges which have to be considered as additional heat losses, e.g.
as described in ISO 12241.
7.9.2 Spacers
7.9.2.1 Spacers for sheet metal pipeline jackets
The additional thermal conductivity depends on a number of variables. The values indicated in the following
are approximate values and apply to common insulating layer thicknesses from 100 mm to 300 mm and
common insulation systems for heat protection.
NOTE 1 Reference [9] in the Bibliography provides possible procedures for special insulation systems.
Additions to thermal conductivity
