Suffi-cient information is provided in this guide to enable the user toconstruct a database structure suitable for the intended appli-cation involving thermal insulation.4.2 Because of increased activity in building computerizedmateria
30、ls databases and the desire to encourage uniformity andease of data comparison and interchange, these recommendedformats provide for the inclusion of specific elements ofthermal transmission test data in databases.4.3 This guide has no implication on data required formaterials production or purchase
31、. Reporting of actual testresults shall be as described in the actual materials specificationor as agreed upon between the vendor and purchaser.4.4 The suggested set of units for the recommended stan-dard format given in this guide is SI.

Recording of Test Data5.1 Table 1 is a recommended standard format for thecomputerization of thermal transmission data for thermalinsulatio
33、n materials. The headings for each field are:5.1.1 Field NumberA reference number assigned to anindividual data field that has no permanent value and does notbecome part of the database.5.1.2 Field Name and DescriptionThe complete name ofthe field, descriptive of the data element of information ofin
34、terest.5.1.3 Data TypeType of data to be included in the field,such as the type of number, character text, logical values(yes/no), and date.5.1.4 Value Sets or UnitsA listing of the types of infor-mation which would be included in the field or, in the case ofproperties or the numeric fields, the SI
35、units in which thenumbers are expressed.5.2 The presentation of the recommended standard formatdoes not require that every element of information be includedin every database. There is, however, a minimum number offields considered essential to any database and these fields aremarked with an asteris
36、k (*).NOTE 1Many databases are prepared for specific applications and,therefore, some database builders may omit certain elements considered tobe of no value for that specific application. Conversely, in some individualcases, additional data elements are needed and the database builder isencouraged
37、to include these elements along with the elements in therecommended standard format. It is important to note that not all of theelements considered essential will be available for every test. Further, notall of the fields included in the recommended standard format areappropriate for all tests.5.3 T
