Hygrothermics
| Measurement | Heat dissipation of floors |
| Standard | DIN 52614 (withdrawn) |
| Measurement object | Homogeneous and approximately homogeneous as well as layered floor structures and coverings such as PVC, cork, parquet, linoleum, textile fibers, tiles, industrial floor coverings, polyester resin sheets, etc. |
Technical data
| Test specimen dimensions | 500 × 500 mm |
More information
- Even as the standard is withdrawn, this measuring method is still used because of the significance of the results
- Heat dissipation levels from “not sufficiently warm to the feet” (level I) over “sufficiently warm to the feet” (level II) up to “particularly warm to the feet” (level III)
