Thermal insulating products for building applications - Determination of freeze-thaw resistance; German version EN 12091:2013
Wärmedämmstoffe für das Bauwesen - Bestimmung des Verhaltens bei Frost-Tau-Wechselbeanspruchung; Deutsche Fassung EN 12091:2013
Overview
This European Standard specifies the equipment and procedures for determining the effect 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 test method simulates freeze-thaw effects on thermal insulating products which are frequently exposed to water and low temperature conditions, for example, inverted roofs and unprotected ground insulation. This test method is not suitable for all thermal insulating products. If relevant, the product standards will state for which products this standard is applicable. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 005-56-60 AA "Wärmedämmstoffe (SpA zu CEN/TC 88 und WG 1 bis 9, WG 12 bis 21, ISO/TC 61/SC 10, ISO/TC 163 (partly), ISO/TC 163/SC 1 und SC 3)" ("Thermal insulation materials (mirror committee for CEN/TC 88 and WGs 1 to WG 9, WGs 12 to 21, ISO/TC 61/SC 10, ISO/TC 163 (partly), ISO/TC 163/SC 1 and SC 3")) at DIN.
