Foreword“”3DIN EN ISO 12571:2013-12EN ISO 12571:2013 (E)1 ScopeThis International Standard specifies two alternative methods for determining hygroscopic sorption properties of porous building materials and products:a) using desicca
25、tors and weighing cups (desiccator method);b) using a climatic chamber (climatic chamber method).The desiccator method is the reference method.This International Standard does not specify the method for sampling.The methods specified in this International Standard can be used to determine the moistu
26、re content of a sample in equilibrium with air at a specific temperature and humidity.2 Normative referencesThe following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

While maintaining a constant temperature, the specimen is placed consecutively in a series of test environments, with rel

Equilibrium with the environment is established by weighing the specimen until constant mass is reached. A minimum of four test atmospheres shall be selected in the humidity ran

This might be the last point of the sorption curve or might be reached by sorption f

The moisture content is determined when equilibrium with each environment is reached. Equilibrium with the environm

Finally, the specimen is dried to constant mass.After establishing the moisture content at each relative humidity the desorption
37、 curve can be drawn.NOTE A defined starting point for desorption has been chosen for better reproducibility.5DIN EN ISO 12571:2013-12EN ISO 12571:2013 (E)5 Apparatus5.1 Desiccator methodThe test apparatus shall include:a) weighing cups which do not absorb water and with tight-fitting lids;b) balance

Specimens of materials with a
42、dry density less than 300 kg/m3shall have an area of at least 100 mm 100 mm. If it can be demonstrated from other references that the result will not be affected, a test specimen can be cut or crushed into smaller pieces to reduce the time to reach equilibrium with the environment.6.2 Number of test
43、 specimensA minimum of three specimens shall be tested. The procedure in Clause 7 shall be applied to each specimen.7 Procedure7.1 Test conditionsReference sorption curves shall be established at a temperature of (23 0,5) C or (27 0,5) C in tropical countries.

44、 curves can be established at other temperatures for specific applications.6DIN EN ISO 12571:2013-12EN ISO 12571:2013 (E)7.2 Desiccator method7.2.1 GeneralMake up the appropriate saturated aqueous solution to achieve the necessary relative humidity in the desiccator.Standard air relative humidities

Immediately after removing the lid of the desiccator, put on the lid of the weighing cup, and move the weighing cup to the balance. After weighing the cup, return it to the desiccator with the lid beside it.NOTE 1 Annex C gives an example of a
