Transmission Coefficients
By means of suitable tests on actual wall, roof, floor and ceiling con structions, heat transmission coefficients 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 out side air temperatures should correspond with those actually existing in heating practice, and the atnount of air movement, both on the inside and outside of the test wall, should be definitely stated in reporting the co efficients. Since actual temperature differences vary widely in different parts of the country, it is desirable to adopt some standard basis for testing, such as 80 deg. inside and 0 deg. outside, and in very precise work
