material depends on the structure of the material and its density. Heavy or dense materials, the weight of which per cubic foot is high, usually transmit more heat than light or less dense materials, the weight of which per cubic foot is low.
Transmission Coefficients
By means of suitable tests on an actual wall construction, heat trans mission coefficients (Table 6) may be determined directly, or they may be computed if certain physical constants are known. If tests are made to determine heat transmission coefficients, the inside and outside air temperatures should correspond with those actually existing in heating practice, and the amount of air movement, both on the inside and outside -of-the test wall, should be definitely stated in reporting the coefficients.
