2. Help in choosing and sizing insulation systems
2.1 Properties ISOLE
ACERMI certification covers five groups of physical properties, making it possible to establish quantitatively and classify by different levels the suitability profile of an insulation product. The five property groups are designated by the acronym ISOLE. The meaning of the acronym and of each group of properties, as well as the associated physical quantities, are given below.
The terminology, symbols and units defined in the ACERMI (CSTB-LNE) documents defining ISOLE properties are retained.
I Mechanical properties in compression (incompressibility): defined by :
Δd/d 0 , the relative...
