O O BSI 17 September 2001 Page 4 EN 1931 :2000 Introduction This European Standard has been prepared by the Technical Commit

18、tee CENKC 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 characterization of flexible sheets for wat

19、erproofing 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 transmission pr

20、operties and for the calculation of the density of moisture flow rate g and of the moisture resistance factor p of waterproofing sheets. It is applicable to factory made bitumen, plastic and rubber sheets for roof waterproofing. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or

The assembly is then placed in an atmosphere with a controlled t

28、emperature and humidity. When mass take-up is 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

29、 in this standard consists of two methods: 4.1 Method A: test procedure for bitumen sheets. 4.2 Method B: test procedure for plastic or rubber sheets. The technical content of the standard is, where relevant, adapted to these parts accordingly (e.g. clause 6, Preparation of test specimens). 5 Appara

33、 and containing a large excess of undissolved sodium chloride. The relative humidity at the upper test specimen surface must be kept constant during test. An air movement of 0,02 m/s to 0,3 m/s in the vaporizing atmosphere shall be produced by a propeller. O O BSI 17 September 2001 Page 7 EN 1931:20

43、he cup in a constant-temperature, constant-humidity chamber (5.4) maintained at (23 f 1) OC and (75 f 2) % relative humidity.

For waterproofing sheets with a density of moisture flow rate anticipated to be less than 1,157 4 x lo- kg/(m2.s), at intervals of one week, quickly remove the cup

45、 from the chamber (5.4) and store it in the test specimen transfer desiccator (5.5) at room temperature for (30 f 10) min; 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. a NOTE: It is not necessary to place the cup in

46、 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 initial weighing, lie on a straight line with a dev

47、iation of at most 5 %. 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 rate .e. lower than g = 5,787 O x I O- kg/(mz.s) it is necessary to perform weighings on the days with a similar barometric pressure

48、 (15 hPa). This is the best way to take account of the buoyancy effect caused by large day to day pressure variations. 9 Expression of results and precision of test method 9.1 Expression of results a Taking the reference into account beforehand, calculate the density of moisture flow rate, g , for e
