Rct
Thermal "R"esistance to "c"onductive heat transfer ("t"extile)
Note from asker:
| I think you are right. Impressed - how did you find this? There seem to be very few references to Rct out there. Thank you!! |
| This is actually a note to Lorraine. Does Rct (ct in subscript as pointed out by Charles) still work in English though? |

Lorraine Dubuc
: Résistance à la conductivité thermique donc, ce qui revient souvent dans la domumentation sur le textile.

: The c and t should be subscript, strictly speaking.

| Yes, as Eren indicated, it seems to be in English already. Thank you! |

: Several documents can be found on the Net about Thermal Contact Resistance. I am not sure if it is not more about thermal conductivity resistance though.

Discussion
Note: Another property of interest is Rsub(et) = water-vapour resistance. https://www.iso.org/standard/19081.html
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/277152749_Combat_In...
• 0,06 =<Rct<0,12 Classe 1
• 0,12 =<Rct<0,18 Classe 2
• 0,18 =<Rct<0,25 Classe 3
I know that "Rct" is just the symbol for résistance thermique, as ISO.org points out:
Rct
différence de température entre les deux faces de la matière, divisée par le flux de chaleur par unité de surface dans la direction du gradient
But I can't work out what the "ct" stands for (conductivité thermique??) and how to convey the whole thing in English. I have come across "R-value" but not sure if this is the correct translation.
Now that I have three different answers, I am not sure which one is right!
Thanks to all.
