Download or read book A Calibrated Guarded Hot Box Test Facility written by PW. Linehan and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hot-box test facility was fabricated by Wiss, Janney, Elstner and Associates for Jim Walter Research Corp. The equipment is capable of operating in either a calibrated or a guarded mode. When operating in the guarded hot-box mode, the equipment is in accordance with the ASTM Test for Thermal Conductance and Transmission of Built-Up Sections by Means of the Guarded Hot Box (C 236-66). When operating in the calibrated hot-box mode, the equipment is in accordance with the proposed ASTM Test for Thermal Performance of Building Assemblies by Means of a Calibrated Hot Box, which is presently being written by ASTM Subcommittee C16.30 and for which input has been provided from this facility. The basic design consists of a separate cold box, hot box, specimen frames, refrigeration unit, control and data-acquisition panel, and metered box. Both the hot and cold boxes are insulated with low-density polyurethane foam, with an overall minimum thickness of 30.5 cm (12 in.). The attitude of the test facility can be varied to provide upward, downward, or horizontal heat flow. Both the hot and cold boxes can provide variable air velocities parallel to the specimen face.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ASTM Test for Thermal Conductance and Transmittance of Built-Up Sections by Means of the Guarded Hot Box (C 236) states that the net heat flow through the metering box walls should be minimized. In order to satisfy this requirement, a testing procedure was developed to experimentally define the required thermopile emf set point across the metering box walls of the W. R. Grace & Company guarded hot box (GHB). This method of "calibration" can be applied to any GHB. Thermal conductances of three specimens were measured using the results of the "calibration" procedure and were found to be within 3 percent of the values obtained by other independent test methods.
