Dew Point + Humidity

Dew Point: The dew point is the temperature at which condensation starts to form; technically speaking it is temperature to which the air would have to cool (at constant pressure and constant water vapour content) in order to reach saturation.

Relative Humidity: The relative humidity is a measure of how mush moisture is in the air; technically speaking it is the ratio of the water vapour density (mass per unit volume) to the saturation water vapour density.

Possible uses of these calculators:

• Determining the minimum surface temperature required to prevent condensation forming.
• To determine the maximum humidity before condensation will start to form at a given a surface temperature.

Heatflow + Surface Temp

The insulation k value should be determined for the design insulation type and appropriate mean temperature. A table of typical k values appear below for two common Insulco products used in industrial applications.

Surface temperatures may be used for Operating and/or Ambient temperatures providing the appropriate selection is made for the surface condition in the drop down menus.

In cases where the operating temperature is a fluid that will contact the inside surface, it should be assumed that the internal surface temperature is equal to the operating temperature and the appropriate selection made in the drop down menu.

 

Mean Temperature* (oC)	Thermal Conductivity (W/mK)
	Semi-Rigid	High Density / High Temp
20	0.032	0.031
50	0.038	0.035
100	0.050	0.045
150	0.063	0.053
200	0.080	0.065
250	-	0.080

Acousti-Max

insulco acousti-max - acoustic prediction software

Insulco Acousti-Max is the most sophisticated program for the prediction of noise transmission loss in walls and floor/ceiling systems. An essential tool for estimating the Transmission Loss (TL) over a range of frequencies, as well as Weighted Sound Reduction Indices of STC and Rw, as required by the Building Code of Australia.

Acousti-Max comes packed with features and functions. With extensive drop down menus to select materials and simple choices for construction details, you can quickly evaluate different constructions and insulation materials. Acousti-Max also provides an on-screen picture of your construction and a graph (or table) of the Transmission Losses.

Without a doubt, Insulco Acousti-Max offers fundamental productivity and workflow benefits to acoustic consultants and architects. Insulco Acousti-Max will greatly enhance the ability of users to quickly and confidently specify constructions in order to achieve a desired airborne sound insulation performance.

Add noise levels

The addition of Decibels is not a simple task, as the Decibel scale is logarithmic. The above calculator allows you to input a number of noise levels and provides the added resultant noise level expected.

Possible uses of this calculator include:

• Determining the possible total noise level from running several machines, with a known noise output, at the same time.
• Determine the resultant noise level if a new machine is added to an existing noisy area.
• Determine the effect that background noise levels will have on the overall noise level.
