Significance and Use4.1 This guide defines the principal elements ofinformation, which are considered important and worth record-ing and storing permanently in computerized databases. Suffi-cient information is provided in this guide to enable
29、 the user toconstruct a database structure suitable for the intended appli-cation involving thermal insulation.4.2 Because of increased activity in building computerizedmaterials databases and to maintain uniformity and ease of datacomparison and interchange, these formats provide for theinclusion o
30、f specific elements of thermal transmission test datain databases.4.3 This guide has no implication on data required formaterials production or purchase. Reporting of actual testresults shall be as described in the actual materials specificationor as agreed upon between the vendor and purchaser.4.4
31、The suggested set of units for the recommended stan-dard format given in this guide is SI. This guide, however, doesnot preclude other sets of units, such as inch-pound (IP).4Available from American National Standards Institute (ANSI), 25 W. 43rd St.,4th Floor, New York, NY 10036, http:/www.ansi.org
32、.C1558 1625. Recording of Test Data5.1 Table 1 is a recommended standard format for thecomputerization of thermal transmission data for thermalinsulation materials. The headings for each field are:5.1.1 Field NumberA reference number assigned to anindividual data field that has no permanent value an
33、d does notbecome part of the database.5.1.2 Field Name and DescriptionThe complete name ofthe field, descriptive of the data element of information ofinterest.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 Va
34、lue Sets or UnitsA listing of the types of infor-mation which are included in the field or, in the case ofproperties or the numeric fields, the SI units in which thenumbers are expressed.5.2 The presentation of the recommended standard formatdoes not require that every element of information be incl
35、udedin every database. There is, however, a minimum number offields considered essential to any database and these fields aremarked with an asterisk (*).NOTE 1Many databases are prepared for specific applications and,therefore, some database builders will omit certain elements considered tobe of no
36、value for that specific application. Conversely, in some individualcases, additional data elements are needed and the database builder isencouraged to include these elements along with the elements in therecommended standard format. It is important to note that not all of theelements considered esse
37、ntial will be available for every test. Further, notall of the fields included in the recommended standard format areappropriate for all tests.5.3 The recommended standard format is divided into fivesections as illustrated in Fig. 1: material identification; micro-structure; test method; specimen de
