Thermal Physics, Thermal Insulations
We perform tests of:
- construction materials and products for thermal insulation
- windows, doors, roof windows, skylights, roof hatches, gates, insulating glass panes
- sandwich panels
- bricks and masonry units, masonry mortars
- metal and glass curtain walls
- air supply devices
In our laboratory in Katowice:
- systems for pre-insulated pipes
- products for thermal insulation in construction industry and products for thermal insulation of building equipment and industrial systems, including products made of: EPS, XPS, PUR/PIR, MW, FEF, CG, CS, PEF, PF;
We determine among other:
- thermal conductivity and thermal resistance of materials and products for thermal insulation
- thermal resistance and thermal conductivity coefficient (using the heat flow computer simulation method or at a test rig)
- characteristics related to transportation of steam, absorption of steam at long-term diffusion by products to thermal insulation, e.g. roof slabs and terraces with reversed system of thermal insulation and waterproof layers and foundation walls
- humidity, absorption and desorption of humidity, absorptiveness
- freeze-thaw resistance
- dimensional features, dimensional stability under specific constant or laboratory temperature and humidity conditions
- behaviour of thermal insulation products during compression, bending, concentrated load, tensile strength perpendicular to face surfaces
- products’ water resistance and air leakage and flow characteristics of air supply devices
- emissivity of coatings on window panels’ surfaces
We provide assessment in the following areas:
- evaluation of the energy efficiency of buildings
- criteria for the evaluation of thermal insulation products
- product properties and performance
- thermal and moisture properties of space dividers, rooms and buildings
- assessment of the condition of heating, cooling, ventilation, and air conditioning systems
- assessment of the design solutions of building systems
- causes of surface fungal decay
- thermal calculation of windows, doors, space dividers
