Thermal insulating products for building applications - Determination of water vapour transmission properties

This European Standard specifies the equipment and procedures for determining the water vapour transmission rate, water vapour permeance and water vapour permeability of test specimens in the steady state under different sets of specified test conditions. It is applicable to thermal insulating products. It is intended to be used for homogeneous materials (see note 1) and for products which may contain integral skins or facings of different material(s).

Wärmedämmstoffe für das Bauwesen - Bestimmung der Wasserdampfdurchlässigkeit

Diese Norm legt Prüfeinrichtungen und Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Wasserdampf-Diffusionsstromdichte, des Wasserdampf-Diffusionsdurchlaßkoeffizienten und des Wasserdampf-Diffusionsleitkoeffizienten im stationären Zustand an Probekörpern fest. Diese Eigenschaften können unter verschiedenen Klimabedingungen bestimmt werden. Sie gilt für Wärmedämmstoffe. Diese Norm gilt für homogene Dämmstoffe (siehe Anmerkung 1) und für Produkte, die Oberflächenschichten (Schäumhäute) oder Kaschierungen aus anderen Werkstoffe enthalten können.
