Hygrothermal performance of building materials and products - Determination of hygroscopic sorption properties (ISO 12571:2013); German version EN ISO 12571:2013
Wärme- und feuchtetechnisches Verhalten von Baustoffen und Bauprodukten - Bestimmung der hygroskopischen Sorptionseigenschaften (ISO 12571:2013); Deutsche Fassung EN ISO 12571:2013
Overview
This International Standard specifies two alternative methods for determining hygroscopic sorption properties of porous building materials and products: a) using desiccators and weighing cups (desiccator method); b) using a climatic chamber (climatic chamber method). The desiccator method is the reference method. The International Standard does not specify the method for sampling. The methods specified in this International Standard can be used to determine the moisture content of a sample in equilibrium with air at a specific temperature and humidity. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 005-56-99 AA "Feuchte (SpA zu CEN/TC 89/WG 10, ISO/TC 163/SC 1/WG 8)" ("Moisture (national mirror committee for CEN/TC 89/WG 10, ISO/TC 163/SC 1/WG 8)") at DIN.
