Thermal insulating products for building applications - Determination of freeze-thaw resistance (ISO 16546:2020)
This document specifies the equipment and test method for determining the effects of successive cycling from dry conditions at 20 °C to wet conditions at 20 °C on the mechanical properties and moisture content of the product. It is applicable to thermal insulating products.
The propose of this document is to simulate the freeze–thaw effects on thermal insulating products which are frequently exposed to water and low temperature conditions, e.g. inverted roofs and unprotected ground insulation.
The test is to be performed continuously using an automatic process of cycling between the specified conditions.
This test method is not recommended for all thermal insulating products. If relevant, the product standards will state for which products this International Standard is applicable.
Wärmedämmstoffe für das Bauwesen - Bestimmung des Verhaltens bei Frost-Tau-Wechselbeanspruchung (ISO 16546:2020)
Dieses Dokument legt die Prüfeinrichtungen und das Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung der Auswirkungen zyklisch aufeinanderfolgender trockener Umgebungsbedingungen bei -20 °C und feuchter Umgebungs¬bedingungen bei 20 °C auf die mechanischen Eigenschaften und den Feuchtegehalt von Wärmedämmstoffen fest.
Zweck dieses Dokuments ist die Simulation der Auswirkungen von Frost-Tau-Wechselbeanspruchungen auf Wärmedämmstoffe, die häufig Wasser und niedrigen Temperaturen ausgesetzt werden, wie z. B. im „Umkehrdach“ und bei der ungeschützten Wärmedämmung zum Erdreich.
Produits isolants thermiques destinés aux applications du bâtiment - Détermination de la résistance aux effets du gel-dégel (ISO 16546:2020)
Le présent document spécifie l'équipement et la méthode d'essai permettant de déterminer les effets sur les propriétés mécaniques et la teneur en eau du produit de cycles successifs entre des conditions sèches à −20 °C et des conditions humides à 20 °C. Il s'applique aux produits isolants thermiques.
L'objet du présent document est la simulation des effets du gel-dégel sur les produits isolants thermiques fréquemment exposés à l'eau et à de basses températures, par exemple, en toiture inversée ou en isolation au contact direct de la terre.
