The work of preparing International Standards is no
20、rmally carried out through IS0 technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non- governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part i
21、n the work. IS0 collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard
22、 requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. International Standard IS0 7726 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 159, Ergonomics, Subcommittee SC 5, Ergonomics of the physical environment. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (IS0 7726:1985),
23、of which it constitutes a technical revision. Annexes A to H of this International Standard are for information only. . 111 EN IS0 7726:2001 I nt rod u cti on This document is one of a series of International Standards intended for use in the study of thermal environments. This series of Internation
24、al Standards deals in particular with - the finalization of definitions for the terms to be used in the methods of measurement, testing or interpretation, taking into account standards already in existence or in the process of being drafted; - the laying down of specifications relating to the method
25、s for measuring the physical quantities which characterize thermal environments; - the selection of one or more methods for interpreting the parameters; - the specification of recommended values or limits of exposure for the thermal environments coming within the comfort range and for extreme enviro
26、nments (both hot and cold); - the specification of methods for measuring the efficiency of devices or processes for personal or collective protection from heat or cold. Any measuring instrument which achieves the accuracy indicated in this International Standard, or even better improves on, may be u
27、sed. The description or listing of certain instruments in the annexes can only signify that they are “recommended“, since characteristics of these instruments may vary according to the measuring principle, their construction and the way in which they are used. It is up to users to compare the qualit
28、y of the instruments available on the market at any given moment and to check that they conform to the specifications contained in this International Standard. iv EN IS0 7726:2001 Ergonomics of the thermal environment - Instruments for measuring physical quantities 1 Scope This International Standar
29、d specifies the minimum characteristics of instruments for measuring physical quantities characterizing an environment as well as the methods for measuring the physical quantities of this environment. It does not aim to define an overall index of comfort or thermal stress but simply to standardize t
30、he process of recording information leading to the determination of such indices. Other International Standards give details of the methods making use of the information obtained in accordance with this standard. This International Standard is used as a reference when establishing a) specifications
31、for manufacturers and users of instruments for measuring the physical quantities of the environment; b) a written contract between two parties for the measurement of these quantities. It applies to the influence of hot, moderate, comfortable or cold environments on people. 2 Normative reference The
32、following standard contains provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard. At the time of publication, the edition indicated was valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this International Standard are e
33、ncouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent edition of the standard indicated below. Members of IS0 and IEC maintain registers of currently valid International Standards. IS0 7730:1994, Moderate thermal environments - Determination of the PMV and PPD indices and specificatio
34、n of the conditions for thermal comfort. 3 General 3.1 Comfort standard and stress standard The specifications and methods contained in this International Standard have been divided into two classes according to the extent of the thermal annoyance to be assessed. The type C specifications and method
35、s relate to measurements carried out in moderate environments approaching comfort conditions (comfort standard). The type S specifications and methods relate to measurements carried out in environments subject to a greater thermal stress or even environments of extreme thermal stress (heat stress st
36、andard). The specifications and methods described for each of these classes have been determined bearing in mind the practical possibilities of in situ measurements and the performances of measuring instruments available at present. 1 EN IS0 7726:2001 3.2 Physical quantities characterizing the envir
37、onment 3.2.1 Introduction The determination of overall indices of comfort or thermal stress requires knowledge of physical quantities connected with the environment. These quantities can be divided into two categories according to their degree of dependence on the environment. 3.2.2 Basic physical q
38、uantities Each of the basic physical quantities characterizes one of the factors of the environment independently of the others. They are often used to define the indices of comfort or thermal stress based on the rationalization of the establishment of the thermal balance of a person placed in a giv
39、en thermal environment. These quantities are as follows: a) b) air temperature, expressed in kelvins (Ta) or in degrees Celsius (ta); mean radiant temperature expressed in kelvins (E), or in degrees Celsius (fr) plane radiant temperature expressed in kelvins (Tpr) or in degrees Celsius (tpr) direct
40、radiation expressed in watts per square metre; c) absolute humidity of the air, expressed by partial vapour pressure ba) in kilopascals; d) air velocity (va), expressed in metres per second; e) surface temperature, expressed in kelvins (Ts), or in degrees Celsius (is). The connections between these
41、quantities and the various gains and losses of heat in relation to the human body are shown in table 1. Table 1 also gives four other quantities which, because they are usually estimated from data tables rather than measured. are not included in the remainder of this International Standard. NOTE - T
42、he concept of mean radiant temperature allows the study of radiative exchanges between man and his environment. It presupposes that the effects on man of the actual environment which is generally heterogeneous and the virtual environment which is defined as homogeneous are identical. When this hypot
43、hesis is not valid, in particular in the case of asymmetric radiation, the radiation exchanges arising from thermally different regions and the extent of their effect on man should also be assessed using the concept of plane radiant temperature. 3.2.3 Derived physical quantities The derived physical
44、 quantities characterize a group of factors of the environment, weighted according to the characteristics of the sensors used. They are often used to define an empirical index of comfort or thermal stress without having recourse to a rational method based on estimates of the various forms of heat ex
45、changes between the human body and the thermal environments, and of the resulting thermal balance and physiological strain. Some derived quantities are described in the specific standards as they apply and where measuring requirements are included . 4 Measuring instruments 4.1 Measured quantities 4.
46、1.1 The air temperature is the temperature of the air around the human body (see annex A). 4.1.2 The mean radiant temperature is the uniform temperature of an imaginary enclosure in which radiant heat transfer from the human body is equal to the radiant heat transfer in the actual non-uniform enclos
47、ure. The mean radiant temperature can be measured by instruments which allow the generally heterogeneous radiation from the walls of an actual enclosure to be “integrated“ into a mean value (see annex B). The black globe thermometer is a device frequently used in order to derive an approximate value
48、 of the mean radiant temperature from the observed simultaneous values of the globe temperature, tg, and the temperature and the velocity of the air surrounding the globe. 2 EN IS0 7726:2001 The accuracy of measurement of the mean radiant temperature obtained using this appliance varies considerably
49、 according to the type of environment being considered and the accuracy of measurement of the temperatures of the globe and the air and the velocity of the air. The actual measuring accuracy shall be indicated wherever it exceeds the tolerances specified in this International Standard. The mean radiant temperature is defined in relation to the human body. The spherical shape of the globe thermometer can give a reasonable approximation of the shape of the body in the case of a seated person. An ellipsoid-shaped sensor gives a closer approximation to the human shape both in t
