National foreword
This British Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee RHE/9 and is the English language version of EN ISO 9346 Thermal insulation Mass transfer Physical quantities and definitions, published by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is identical with ISO 9346 published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). EN ISO 9346 was produced as a result of international discussion in which the UK took an active part.

1 Scope and field of application


This International Standard defines physical quantities and other terms in the field of mass transfer relevant to thermal insulation systems, and gives the corresponding symbols and units.

2 General terms
2.1 mass transfer transmission of mass (especially moisture or air) by various mechanisms 2.2 moisture water in gaseous, liquid or solid phase 2.3 water vapour moisture in the gaseous phase 2.4 water vapour diffusion movement of water vapour molecules in a gas mixture tending to equalize the vapour content in the air or the partial pressure of the vapour, with the total pressure being constant 2.5 water vapour convection transfer of water vapour in a gas mixture by movement of the whole gas mixture due to a difference in total pressure 2.6 hygroscopic sorption curve relation between moisture content in a porous material and the relative humidity of the ambient air at equilibrium
NOTE There are curves for sorption and for desorption. Because of measuring difficulties there is an upper limit for the relative humidity at 95 % to 98 %.

2.7 suction curve relation between the equalized moisture content in a porous material and the suction (negative pore pressure) in the pore water
NOTE Generally there are curves for sorption and for desorption. Theoretically the suction curve covers the whole moisture range, from absolute dryness to full saturation.
