Thermal insulation of building elements — In-situ measurement of thermal resistance and thermal transmittance — Part 3: Probe insertion method

The method of observing the condition of the insulation layer with visual inspection and also themethod of measuring the thermal conduction or resistance of the insulation layer, of the buildingelements such as exterior wall, floor, ceiling, etc. (hereinafter, walls) in the field is described.The proposed method is divided into the quantitative method which measures the thermal resistanceand the thermal conductivity with the heat flow measurement, and the qualitative method without heatflow measurement. The former quantitative method can apply not only the insulation layer but alsowhole throughout wall.This document especially aims to test the furnished insulation layer in the walls. It demonstrates ascreening test with drilling a small diameter borehole through the walls with the presumed insulationlayer. Visual inspection with a borescope and measuring the temperature distribution by inserting thetemperature sensor, the qualitative futures of the insulation layer is evaluated. Adding themeasurement of the heat flow rate, thermal conductance (resistance) is quantitively evaluated.

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.

Introduction
The ISO 9869 series describes the in-situ measurement of the thermal transmission properties of plane
building components, primarily consisting of opaque layers perpendicular to the heat flow and having no
significant lateral heat flow. The thermal transmittance of a building element (U-value) is defined in
ISO 7345 as the heat flux per unit area and unit temperature difference in the steady state condition. Since
steady state conditions are never encountered on a site in practice, such a simple measurement is not
possible. Although various statistical methods have been introduced to address thi
