Permeability Inches (0°C)
perm·in (0°C)
Definition
The permeability inches at 0°C is a unit of permeability used in the US building industry, representing the vapor transmission rate through a material at 0 degrees Celsius per inch of thickness. It provides a thickness-normalized measure of material permeability.
History/Origin
The permeability inches at 0°C was developed in the US building industry as a practical unit that accounts for material thickness in permeability measurements. It allows for direct comparison of materials with different thicknesses in construction applications.
Current Use
Permeability inches at 0°C is used in US building codes, construction specifications, and material testing where thickness-normalized permeability values are needed for proper material selection and building envelope design.

Permeability (23°C)
perm (23°C)
Definition
The permeability at 23°C is a traditional unit of permeability used in building materials and textiles, representing the vapor transmission rate through a material at 23 degrees Celsius (room temperature). It provides a more practical reference temperature for most applications.
History/Origin
The permeability at 23°C was established as a standard reference temperature for permeability measurements in building materials, as 23°C represents typical room temperature conditions. It provides more relevant data for practical building applications than 0°C measurements.
Current Use
Permeability at 23°C is widely used in building materials testing, HVAC design, and construction specifications where room temperature conditions are more relevant than freezing point measurements for practical applications.
