Natural stone test methods - Determination of water absorption at atmospheric pressure

This European Standard specifies a method for determining the water absorption of natural stone see
EN 12670 for terminology and EN 12440 for denomination - by immersion in water at atmospheric pressure.

Prüfverfahren für Naturstein - Bestimmung der Wasseraufnahme unter atmosphärischem Druck

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Prüfverfahren fest, mit dem die Wasseraufnahme von Naturstein - siehe
EN 12670 für die Terminologie und EN 12440 für die Bezeichnung - durch Eintauchen in Wasser bei
atmosphärischem Druck bestimmt werden kann.

Méthodes d'essai pour pierres naturelles - Détermination de l'absorption d'eau a la pression atmosphérique

La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode de détermination de l’absorption d’eau de la pierre naturelle voir l’EN 12670 pour la terminologie et l’EN 12440 pour les critères de dénomination  par immersion dans l’eau à pression atmosphérique.
