PRACTICAL COEFFICIENTS AND THEIR USE
For practical purposes it is necessary to have average coefficients that may be applied to various materials and types or construction without the necessity of making actual tests. In Table 2 coefficients are given for a group of materials which have been selected from tests by various author ities. Since there is some variation in the resulting values due to varia tions in materials and in test conditions, average values for the usual con ditions encountered in building practice have been selected and listed in Table 5. These coefficients were used in the calculation of overall coeffi cients given in Tables 6 to 19. These tables constitute typical examples of combinations frequently used, but any special constructions not given canbe computed by the use of the conductivity or conductance values in Table 2 and the fundamental heat transfer formulas.
Caution
The user should realize that' the average conductivity and conductance values given in Tables 2 or 5 do not necessarily apply to all products of the same general description. In using these values, judgment should be exer cised with regard to the extent to which the product (either as received or as
