Thermal insulating products for building equipment and industrial installations - Determination of short-term water absorption by partial immersion of preformed pipe insulation (ISO 12623:2022)

This document specifies the equipment and procedures for determining the short-term water absorption of preformed pipe 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.
This document has been prepared for products used to insulate building equipment and industrial installations, but it can also be applied to products used in other areas.

Wärmedämmstoffe für die Haustechnik und für betriebstechnische Anlagen - Bestimmung der Wasseraufnahme bei kurzzeitigem teilweisem Eintauchen von vorgeformten Rohrdämmstoffen (ISO 12623:2022)

Dieses Dokument legt Prüfeinrichtungen und Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Wasseraufnahme bei kurz¬zeitigem teilweisem Eintauchen von vorgeformten Rohrdämmstoffen fest. Es gilt für Wärmedämmprodukte.
ANMERKUNG   Es kann die Wasseraufnahme simuliert werden, die bei einer 24-stündigen Regenperiode während des Einbauens der Produkte auftritt.
Dieses Dokument wurde für Produkte erarbeitet, die zum Dämmen von haustechnischen und betriebs-technischen Anlagen eingesetzt werden; es kann aber auch auf Produkte für andere Anwendungsbereiche angewendet werden.

Le présent document spécifie l’équipement et les modes opératoires à suivre pour déterminer l’absorption d’eau à court terme par immersion partielle de coquilles isolantes préformées. Il s’applique aux produits isolants thermiques.
NOTE         Il est destiné à simuler l’absorption d’eau causée par l’exposition à la pluie pendant 24 h, lors de la mise en œuvre du produit.
Le présent document a été élaboré pour les produits utilisés pour l’isolation des équipements des bâtiments et des installations industrielles, mais il peut aussi être appliqué à des produits utilisés dans d’autres domaines.

Toplotnoizolacijski proizvodi za opremo stavb in industrijske inštalacije - Ugotavljanje vpojnosti vode predoblikovanih cevnih izolacij z delno kratkotrajno potopitvijo (ISO 12623:2022)

Ta evropski standard določa opremo in postopke za ugotavljanje vpojnosti vode predoblikovanih cevnih izolacij z delno kratkotrajno potopitvijo v vodo. Uporablja se za toplotnoizolacijske proizvode.
OPOMBA:   Namenjen je simulaciji vpijanja vode pri 24-urni izpostavljenosti dežju med nameščanjem proizvoda.
Če je cevna izolacija izrezana iz ploščatega proizvoda, je mogoče vpojnost vode z delno kratkotrajno potopitvijo pridobiti s preskusi, izvedenimi na ploščatem proizvodu s podobnimi lastnostmi v skladu s standardom EN 1609, pri čemer se preskus izvede v smeri, ki zagotavlja največje vpijanje vode.

Foreword
ISO (the 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
committee 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
electrotechnical 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 in 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. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

materials and products, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and
CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 12623:2011), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— EN 13472:2012 and ISO 12623:2011 have been merged into one document;
— Clause 3, Terms and definitions, has been added and the numbering of the following clauses has
been changed accordingly;
