25、e International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committ
26、ee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechn
27、ical standardization.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted i
28、n accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights.

34、ntrol1 ScopeThis document describes a comparatively simple method for testing the water vapour permeability of textiles that will provide the manufacturer with a clearly recognized method for quality control within the plant.The simple test method described in this document is not applicable for cla
35、ssifying the water vapour resistance of textiles against values relating to physiological effects specified in product standards, and particularly not those relating to personal protective equipment.The method can be used for quality control but has some limitation in relation to ISO 11092, which gi
36、ves a more comprehensive and relevant result for evaluation of water vapour penetration. Annex A provides further explanation of applicability.This document cannot be used to compare results to other “dry dessicant” methods as they will not correlate. An explanation of the reasons can be found in An

43、 placed, together with a waterproof but highly water-vapour-permeable, hydrophobic, microporous membrane (henceforth referred to as “membrane”), on a ring holder and then put in a water bath so that the membrane is in contact with the water. This is then left for 15 min. A cup containing saturated p
44、otassium acetate solution, creating a relative humidity of about 23 % at the specimens upper face, and covered with a second piece of the same membrane, is weighed and then inverted above the specimen in the ring holder, so that the membrane is in contact with the specimen. There will be a net trans
45、fer of water vapour through the specimen from the water side to the cup (see Figure 1). After 15 min the cup is taken off and re-weighed. At the same time a control test without a specimen is carried out to determine the water vapour permeability of the two membranes, the apparatus water vapour perm
46、eability. The water vapour permeability of the specimen can then be calculated, correcting for the influence of the two membranes. See Annex B for further explanation of the physical principle behind the test method.6 ApparatusThe schematics of the test set-up are shown in Figure 1.6.1 Membrane, wat
47、erproof, microporous and hydrophobic1). It shall have a high water vapour permeability, so that two layers of the membrane have a water vapour permeability of more than 1,2 g/m2Pah when measured according to this document.6.2 Specimen holder, either a metal or a plastic ring with a milled groove ont
48、o which the specimen in conjunction with the membrane is secured, using a rubber ring that fits into the groove, as shown in Figure 2. The rubber ring shall fit tightly so that the specimen and membrane are held under tension. The bottom outside edge of the specimen holder should be radiused.6.3 Sup
49、port frame for specimen holders, consisting of two plates, separated by spacers, that support the specimen holders in the water (see Figure 3). Both plates should have at least six holes cut out, those in the top plate being large enough to allow the holder with specimen and membrane to pass through. The holes in the lower plate are smaller than the specimen holder, but larger than the cup opening, and 1) This product is commercially available.2 ISO 2018 All rights reservedBS EN ISO 15496:2018ISO 15496:2018(E)t
