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

EN ISO 15758 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. This International Standard 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.

Wärmedämmung von haus- und betriebstechnischen Anlagen in Gebäuden - Berechnung der Wasserdampfdiffusion - Dämmung von Kälteleitungen (ISO 15758:2014)

Diese Norm legt ein Verfahren fest zur Berechnung der Wasserdampf-Diffusionsstromdichte in Dämmsystemen für Kälteleitungen und der durch die Dämmung über die Zeit aufgenommenen Wassermenge. Bei diesem Berechnungsverfahren wird davon ausgegangen, dass die Absorption von Wasserdampf durch das Dämmsystem nur durch Diffusion ohne Mitwirkung einer Luftströmung erfolgt. Ferner wird davon ausgegangen, dass homogene isotrope Dämmstoffe verwendet werden, so dass der Wasserdampfteildruck an allen Punkten, die von der Rohrachse einen gleichen Abstand haben, konstant ist.
Die Norm gilt für Rohre im Inneren von Gebäuden sowie im Freien, wenn die Temperatur des im Rohr befindlichen Mediums über 0 °C liegt

Performance hygrothermique des équipements de bâtiments et installations industrielles - Calcul de la diffusion de vapeur d'eau - Systèmes d'isolation de tuyauteries froides (ISO 15758:2014)

L'ISO 15758:2014 donne une méthode permettant de calculer la densité du flux de vapeur d'eau dans les systèmes d'isolation de tuyauteries froides, ainsi que la quantité totale d'eau diffusée dans l'isolation au cours du temps. La méthode de calcul suppose que la vapeur d'eau ne peut migrer dans le système d'isolation que par diffusion, sans aucune contribution d'un flux d'air. Elle suppose également l'utilisation de matériaux isolants homogènes et isotropes, de telle sorte que la pression partielle de vapeur d'eau soit constante en tout point équidistant de l'axe du tuyau.
L'ISO 15758:2014 s'applique lorsque la température du fluide circulant dans le tuyau est supérieure à 0 °C. Elle s'applique aussi bien aux tuyauteries situées à l'intérieur de bâtiments qu'à celles situées à l'air libre.

Higrotermalno obnašanje opreme stavb in industrijskih inštalacij - Izračun difuzije vodne pare - Sistemi za izoliranje hladnih cevi (ISO 15758:2014)

Standard EN ISO 15758 določa metodo za izračun gostote hitrosti pretoka vodne pare v sistemih za izoliranje hladnih cevi ter skupne količine vode, sčasoma difundirane v izolacijo. Metoda izračuna predpostavlja, da lahko vodna para v sistem za izoliranje preide samo z difuzijo, brez prispevka pretoka zraka. Predvideva tudi uporabo homogenih, izotropnih izolacijskih materialov, da je delni tlak vodne pare stalen na vseh točkah, enako oddaljenih od osi cevi. Ta mednarodni standard se uporablja, kadar je temperatura medija v cevi nad 0 °C. Uporablja se za cevi v stavbah in na prostem.

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. www.iso.org/directives

Introduction
If the thermal insulation of a cold pipe system is not completely water vapour tight, there will be a flow
of water vapour from the warm environment to the surface of the pipe, whenever the temperature of
the surface of the cold pipe is below the dew point of the ambient air. This flow of water vapour leads
to an interstitial condensation in the insulation layer and/or dew formation on the surface of the pipe
itself. Interstitial condensation may cause the insulation material to deteriorate and dew formation on
the surface of a metal pipe may cause corrosion over time. If the temperature is below 0 °C ice will be
formed and the methods of this standard will not apply.
In period, when the dew point of the ambient air is higher than the temperature of the outer surface of
the insulation, surface condensation will occur. This is dealt with in ISO 12241.
Different measures are available to control water vapour transfer and reduce the amount of condensation.
The following are normally applied:
a) Installation of a vapour retarder;
b) Use of insulation materials with a high water vapour resistance factor (low permeability);
c) Use of a vapour retarder and a capillary active fabric to continuously remove condensed water from
the pipe surface to the environment; see Annex B for an example.
Which protection measure is chosen depends on the ambient climate, the temperature of the medium in
the pipe and the water vapour diffusion resistance of the insulation layer. The success of any system is
strongly dependent on workmanship and maintenance. In any case anti-corrosion measures should be
applied to a metal pipe in severe conditions.
The expected economic lifetime of an insulation system, assuming a maximum acceptable accumulated
moisture content, can be calculated using the methods in this standard.
