Thermal insulating products for building applications - Determination of long term water absorption by immersion
This European Standard specifies the equipment and procedures for determining the long term water absorption of test specimens. It is applicable to thermal insulating products. This European Standard specifies two options: Method 1 - partial immersion, Method 2 - Total immersion. The long term water absorption by partial immersion is intended to simulate the water absorption caused by long term water exposure. The long term water absorption by total immersion is not directly related to the conditions on site, but has been recognized as a relevant condition of test for some products in some applications.
Wärmedämmstoffe für das Bauwesen - Bestimmung der Wasseraufnahme bei langzeitigem Eintauchen
Diese Norm legt Prüfeinrichtungen und Verfahren zur Bestimmung der langzeitigen Wasseraufnahme von Probekörpern fest. Sie gilt für Wärmedämmstoffe. Diese Norm legt zwei Prüfverfahren zur Auswahl fest: - Prüfverfahren 1: Teilweises Eintauchen - Prüfverfahren 2: Völliges Eintauchen Das teilweise Eintauchen simuliert die Wasseraufnahme, die sich bei langzeitigem Einwirken von Wasser ergibt.
Produits isolants thermiques destinés aux applications du bâtiment - Détermination de l'absorption d'eau à long terme - Essai par immersion
Cette norme spécifie l'équipement et les procédures nécessaires à la détermination de l'absorption d'eau à long terme des éprouvettes d'essais. Méthode 1: immersion partielle. Méthode 2: immersion totale. Elle s'applique aux produits isolants thermiques. L'absorption d'eau à long terme par immersion partielle permet de simuler l'absorption d'eau causée par une exposition prolongée à l'eau. L'absorption d'eau à long terme par immersion totale n'est pas directement reliée aux conditions sur site mais a été reconnue comme étant und condition d'essai significative pour certains produits.
