Page 3 EN 1931 : 2000 Introduction This draft European Standard has been prepared by the Tec

16、hnical Committee CENiTC 254 to determine the water vapour transmission properties of flexible sheets for waterproofing. This standard has been prepared for applications in roofing but it may also be used in other areas where it is relevant. This standard is intended for characterisation of flexible

17、sheets for waterproofing as manufactured or supplied before use. This standard relates exclusively to products and not to waterproofing membrane systems composed of such products and installed in the works. 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the water vapour t

18、ransmission properties and for the calculation of the density of moisture flow rate g and of the moisture resistance factor ,u of waterproofing sheets. It is applicable to factory made bitumen, plastic and rubber sheets for roof waterproofing. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporat

The assembly is then placed in an atmosphere with a controlled temperature and humidity. When mass take-up i

26、s linear over a period of time, the assembly is weighed periodically to determine the density of moisture flow rate through the test specimen into the desiccant. Due to the nature of the bitumen, plastic or rubber sheets concerned, the test procedure given in this standard consists of two methods: 4

27、.1 Method A: test procedure for bitumen sheets. 4.2 Method 6: test procedure for plastic or rubber sheets. The technical content of the Standard is, where relevant, adapted to these parts accordingly (e.g. clause Preparation of test specimens). 5 Apparatus 5.1 Cups (Absorption atmosphere) Use cups o

If used during sealing procedure Only, then weigh the cup to the nearest 0,l mg. After weighing, shake the cup to mix the desiccant, then return the cup to the chamber.

36、 NOTE It is not necessary to place the cup in the transfer desiccator (5.5) if conditioning and testing are conducted in the same constant temperature and humidity rooms. Plot the measured mass against time at weekly intervals and terminate the test when four consecutive points, excluding the initia

37、l weighing, lie on a straight line with a deviation of at most 5 Yo. Having a variation in barometric pressure the cup may act as an “air ship“ caused by buoyancy. For materials with a low density of moisture flow raie (.e. lower than g = 5,7870 x 10 kg/(m2.s) it is necessary to perform weighings on

38、 the days with a similar barometric pressure (I 5 hPa). This is the best way to take account of the buoyancy effect caused by large day to day pressure variations.

The mean value and the standard deviation of the density of moisture flow rate, g , for the 3 te

41、st specimens shall be calculated. The moisture resistance factor, ,u, is given by the equation: where: d g Au is the mean value of the test specimen thickness in m; is the mean value of the density of moisture flow rate in kg/(mZ.s), as calculated above; is the moisture conductivity of air, dependin

47、68 x 10“ P= PXPd 9 2 Precision of test method The total uptake of moisture by the desiccant may not exceed 1,5 g per 25 cm3 during the measurement. The test procedure according to this standard is most applicable for density of moisture flow rate, g , of at least g=1,1574x IO“ kg/(mZ.s). If the test

48、 conditions are chosen appropriately (e.9. correction of barometric pressure, long test period, constant climate) this test procedure is still applicable for values of g =5,7870 x log kg/(m*.s). 10 Test report The test report shall include at least the following information: a) all details necessary
