Overview

This European Standard specifies a method to measure water absorption of porous inorganic materials used for and constituting cultural property by pipe method. The method may be used on porous inorganic materials which are untreated or have been subjected to any treatment or ageing. The method may be used both in the laboratory and in situ due to its non-destructive nature. The committee responsible for the German collaboration at DIN, the German Institute for Standardization e. V., is Working Committee NA 005-01-36 AA "Erhaltung des kulturellen Erbes" ("Conservation of cultural properties") of the Building and Civil Engineering Standards Committee (NABau) acting as Mirror Committee of CEN/TC 346.
