I believe that "segments" in this case refers to the TRNBuild / Type56
autosegmentation feature. When you have an active layer whose specific
flow rate is low (below 13kg/h.m2) you cannot treat the entire floor as
a single entity but you have to break it up into a series of segments
that are all in series (one feeds into the next). This is all done
automatically for you in TRNBuild; specify the specific flow rate that
you want to use in your floor and then press the "do" autosegmentation
button. The floor will be broken up into as many segments as needed in
order to achieve your flow rate.<br>

<div>Hi, all:</div>
<div> </div>
<div> Such a passage about capillary tube system says on page
6-31:"Unfortunately, 2 segments in series like for the ordinary piping
system are insufficient: Depending on the entered data up to 8 segments
are required." Does this "segment" mean "layer" which mentioned
earlier. And what is the basis to say "up to 8 segments "? What
segments are included in the series?</div>
