U-VALUE. The overall heat transfer coefficient or thermal conductance of a building wall, floor, ceiling, roof, or other element; of piping or tubing carrying heating or cooling fluids; or of heat transfer equipment. The U-value is normally applied to a cross-section of more than one material and considers the film conductance and air. The total heat transfer can be estimated as the product of U, surface area, temperature difference, and time. 2, record 1, English, - U%2Dvalue

Coefficient de perméabilité défini pour un liquide ayant une viscosité et une densité déterminées. Dans le système CGS [chromatographie d'adsorption gaz-solide], il est égal à la vitesse exprimée en centimètres par seconde avec laquelle l'eau circule à travers une section de 1 cm² sous un gradient hydraulique unitaire. C'est aussi le nombre de centimètres cubes par seconde d'eau qui s'écoule à travers une section de 1 cm² dans les mêmes conditions. 4, record 3, French, - coefficient%20de%20Darcy
