This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of
17、 an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by September 2013, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by September 2013. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall
18、 not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 1609:1996. The revision of this standard contains no major changes, only minor corrections and clarifications of an editorial nature. This European Standard is one of a series of standards which speci
19、fy test methods for determining dimensions and properties of thermal insulating materials and products. It supports a series of product standards for thermal insulating materials and products which derive from the Council Directive of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws, regulations and ad
20、ministrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products (Directive 89/106/EEC) through the consideration of the essential requirements. This European Standard has been drafted for applications in building, but it may also be used in other areas where it is relevant. This Europ

DIN EN 1609:2013-05 EN 1609:2013 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the equipment and procedures for determining the short-term water absorption of test specimens by partial immersion. It is applicable to thermal insulatin
34、g products. NOTE It is intended to simulate the water absorption caused by a 24 h raining period during construction work. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references,
35、 only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

37、for a period of 24 h, and its change in mass is measured. The excess water adhering to the surface but not absorbed by the test specimen is removed by drainage (method A) or taken into account by deduction of the initial water uptake (method B). 5 Apparatus 5.1 Balance, capable of determining the ma
38、ss of a specimen to an accuracy of 0,1 g. 5.2 Water tank, with a device for keeping the water level constant to within 2 mm, and a device to keep the test specimen in position. The device to keep the test specimen in position shall not cover more than 15 % of the cross-sectional area of the test spe
39、cimen, which is exposed to water. An example is shown in Figure 1. 5.3 Tap water, adjusted to a temperature of (23 5) C. In case of dispute, deionised water shall be used. 5.4 Equipment for drainage. Examples are shown in Figures 2a) and 2b). 6 Test specimens 6.1 Dimensions of test specimens The thi
40、ckness of test specimens shall be the original product thickness. The test specimens shall be prisms of square cross section having a side length of (200 1) mm. DIN EN 1609:2013-05 EN 1609:2013 (E) 6 6.2 Number of test specimens The number of test specimens shall be as specified in the relevant prod
41、uct standard. If the number is not specified, then at least four test specimens shall be used. In the absence of a product standard or any other European Technical Specification, the number of test specimens may be agreed between parties. 6.3 Preparation of test specimens The test specimens shall be
42、 cut so that they do not include product edges. The test specimens shall be prepared by methods that do not change the original structure of the product. Any skins, facings and/or coatings shall be retained. Special methods of preparation, when needed, are given in the relevant product standard or a
43、ny other European Technical Specification. 6.4 Conditioning of test specimens The test specimens shall be conditioned for at least 6 h at (23 5) C. In case of dispute, they shall be conditioned at (23 2) C and (50 5) % relative humidity for the time stated in the relevant product standard. 7 Procedu
44、re 7.1 Test conditions Testing shall be carried out at (23 5) C. In case of dispute, it shall be carried out at (23 2) C and (50 5) % relative humidity. 7.2 Test procedure 7.2.1 General The choice of the method (A or B) shall be as specified in the relevant product standard. In the absence of a prod
45、uct standard or any other European Technical Specification, the method may be agreed between parties. The dimensions of the test specimens shall be measured in accordance with EN 12085. 7.2.2 Method A (drainage) Weigh the test specimen to the nearest 0,1 g to determine its initial mass, m0. Testing
46、shall be carried out with half the number of specimens with one larger face up and the other half with the same larger face down. Place the test specimen in the empty water tank and apply a sufficient load to keep it partially immersed when water is added. Carefully add the water to the tank until t
47、he bottom face of the test specimen is (10 2) mm below the surface of the water (see example in Figure 1). Ensure that the water level remains constant during the test. DIN EN 1609:2013-05 EN 1609:2013 (E) 7 After 24 h 30 min, remove the test specimen; drain it for (10 0,5) min by placing it vertica
