Example: convert 10 perm (0°C) to perm (23°C)
10 × 0.9958400418 = 9.9584004177 perm (23°C)
Short background on the units used in this conversion.
Perm (0°C) equals 5.72135×10⁻¹¹ kg/(Pa·s·m²) — the US building-science perm unit referenced at 0°C.
Perm at 0°C rates vapor permeance of house wraps, sheathing, and insulation in US construction codes.
Perm (23°C) equals 5.74525×10⁻¹¹ kg/(Pa·s·m²) — the perm unit referenced at 23°C laboratory conditions.
Perm at 23°C is used when test methods specify room-temperature reference conditions for vapor barriers.
perm (23°C) = perm (0°C) × 0.9958400418perm (0°C) = perm (23°C) × 1.0041773358, using the same exact factors as this converter.Jump to any permeability conversion starting from permeability (0°c) — including the reverse direction and every other unit in our dataset.
