NF EN ISO 15758
Hygrothermal performance of building equipment and industrial installations - Calculation of water vapour diffusion - Cold pipe insulation systems
ISO 15758:2014 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.ISO 15758:2014 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.

Le présent document spécifie une méthode permettant de calculer, sous certaines conditions relatives à la différence de pression partielle de vapeur d'eau ainsi que les températures de l'air ambiant et de fluide circulant dans la tuyauterie, la densité du flux de vapeur d'eau dans les systèmes d'isolation ainsi que la quantité totale d'eau diffusée dans l'isolation en fonction du temps. La présente méthode s'applique aussi bien pour les tuyauteries situées à l'intérieur du bâtiment que celles situées à l'air libre. La température du fluide circulant dans la tuyauterie doit être supérieure à 0 °C.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!

At a glance, you will be able to identify the additions, deletions or modifications to a text, table, figure and formula.
