Permeability Inches (23°C)
perm·in (23°C)
Definition
The permeability inches at 23°C is a unit of permeability used in the US building industry, representing the vapor transmission rate through a material at 23 degrees Celsius per inch of thickness. It provides a thickness-normalized measure at room temperature conditions.
History/Origin
The permeability inches at 23°C was established as a standard reference temperature for thickness-normalized permeability measurements in the US building industry, providing more practical data for typical building conditions than 0°C measurements.
Current Use
Permeability inches at 23°C is widely used in US building codes, HVAC design, and construction specifications where room temperature conditions and thickness-normalized values are essential for proper material selection and building performance evaluation.

Permeability (0°C)
perm (0°C)
Definition
The permeability at 0°C is a traditional unit of permeability used in building materials and textiles, representing the vapor transmission rate through a material at 0 degrees Celsius. It is commonly used in the construction industry for measuring moisture vapor transmission.
History/Origin
The permeability at 0°C was developed in the building materials industry as a practical unit for measuring moisture vapor transmission through construction materials. It became standardized for comparing the breathability of different building materials and textiles.
Current Use
Permeability at 0°C is extensively used in the construction industry, textile manufacturing, and building materials testing where moisture control and vapor transmission are critical for material performance and building envelope design.
