flow to mass flow

regard to deviation from reference conditions
Annex C (normative) Equivalent loss determination, for product
other than the test product

A practical method to determine the heat leak performance of cryogenic vessels. Methods include measurement on open and closed systems. This standard does not specify neither the requirement levels for insulation performance nor when the methodology defined is applicable. These requirements may be defined in operational standards/regulations or in design.
