Attention i
16、s drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 13472:2001. The following main technical changes have been done on th
17、is new edition of EN 13472: a) Figure 1 has been corrected; b) Subclause 5.3, Tap water has been supplemented. This European Standard has been prepared for products used to insulate building equipment and industrial installations, but it may also be applied to products used in other areas. This Euro
18、pean Standard is one of a series of standards which specify 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 Decem
19、ber 1988 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products (Directive 89/106/EEC) through the consideration of the essential requirements. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisati

BS EN 13472:2012EN 13472:2012 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the equipment and procedures for determining the short term water absorption of preformed pipe
22、 insulation by partial immersion in water. It is applicable to thermal insulating products. NOTE It is intended to simulate the water absorption caused by exposure to rain for 24 h during product installation. If the pipe insulation is cut from a flat product, then the short term water absorption by
23、 partial immersion can be obtained from tests carried out on the flat product with similar properties in accordance with EN 1609, providing the test is carried out in the direction giving the highest water uptake. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively r
24、eferenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 13467, Thermal insulating products for building equipment and indus
25、trial installations Determination of dimensions, squareness and linearity of preformed pipe insulation 3 Terms and definitions This European Standard contains no terms and definitions. 4 Principle The short term water absorption by partial immersion is determined by measuring the change in mass of a
26、 test specimen, the lower part of which is in contact with water for a period of 24 h. The excess water adhering to the surface and not absorbed by the test specimen is drained off in method A, or calculated in method B, from the initial water uptake. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Balance capable of determining t
27、he mass of a test specimen to an accuracy of 0,1 g or 0,5 %, whichever is less. 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 the required position during the test (see examples in Figures 1a) and 1b). The supporting devic
28、e shall be such that the test specimen contact area with water shall be at least 85 % and such that the original form of the test specimen is maintained. 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 (see examples i
29、n Figures 2a) and 2b).

In the event t
31、hat the outside diameter of the product is 300 mm, the test specimen shall have one face with an area equal to the full cross sectional area of the product or half the original cross sectional area. For products with outside diameters 300 mm, the face shall be a segment of the cross section with an
32、outside chord length of (300 10) mm. The length of the test specimen shall be adjusted so that the area of the immersed cylindrical surface will be (40 000 400) mm. 6.2 Preparation of test specimens The test specimens shall be cut so that they do not include product ends. The test specimens shall be
33、 prepared by methods that do not change the original structure of the product. Any skins, facings and/or coatings shall be retained. NOTE Special methods of preparation, when needed, are specified in the relevant product standard. For products with a thickness 25 mm, the ends shall be closed to avoi
34、d water pickup on the inner main surface of the test specimen (e.g. by use of glued aluminium foil on the ends). 6.3 Number of test specimens The number of test specimens shall be as specified in the relevant product standard. If the number is not specified, then at least three test specimens shall
35、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. BS EN 13472:2012EN 13472:2012 (E) 7 6.4 Conditioning of test specimens The test specimens shall be stored for at least 6 h at (23 5) C. In case of
36、dispute, they shall be stored at (23 2) C and (50 5) % relative humidity for the time specified in the relevant product standard. 7 Procedure 7.1 Test conditions The test 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
37、 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 product standard or any other European Technical Specification, the method A or B may be agreed between parties. The dimensions of the test specimens shall be measured
38、 in accordance with EN 13467. 7.2.2 Method A (drainage) Weigh the test specimen to the nearest 0,1 g or 0,5 %, whichever is less, to determine its initial mass m0. Place the test specimen with the outside surface downwards in the empty water tank and apply a sufficient load to keep the test specimen
39、 partially immersed when water is added. Carefully adjust the water added to the tank until the lowest point of the outside face of the test specimen is (20 2) mm below the surface of the water (see examples in Figures 1a) and 1b). Ensure that the water level remains constant during the test. Remove
40、 the test specimen after 24 h and drain it for (10 0,5) min by placing it supported on the exterior surface on a mesh, inclined at 45, as shown in Figure 2a) or 2b). Weigh the test specimen again to determine the mass m24. 7.2.3 Method B (deduction of initial water uptake) Weigh the test specimen to
41、 the nearest 0,1 g or 0,5 %, whichever is less, to determine its initial mass m0. Place the test specimen with the outside surface downwards in the water tank in such position that it is partially immersed in water with the lowest point of the outside face of the test specimen (20 2) mm below the wa
42、ter level. Remove the test specimen after 10 s holding it horizontally and place it within 5 s in a plastic tray of known mass. Reweigh this tray with the test specimen to determine the mass of the test specimen including the initial water uptake m1. Replace the test specimen in the water tank in th
43、e same position and apply a sufficient load to keep the test specimen partially immersed in water, with the lowest point of the outside face of the test specimen (20 2) mm below the water level (see examples in Figures 1a) and 1b). Ensure that the water level remains constant during the test. Remove
44、 the test specimen after 24 h, holding it horizontally and place it within 5 s in the plastic tray of known mass to determine the mass m24. Method B is only applicable if the initial water uptake is: BS EN 13472:2012EN 13472:2012 (E) 8 2p01kg/m5,0Amm(1) where 1mis the mass of the test specimen inclu
