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 European Standard 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.
If the pipe insulation is cut from a flat product, then the short term water absorption by 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.

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

Diese Internationale Norm legt Prüfeinrichtungen und Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Wasseraufnahme bei kurzzeitigem teilweisem Eintauchen von vorgeformten Rohrdämmstoffen fest. Sie gilt für Wärmedämm-produkte.
ANMERKUNG Mit dem Verfahren kann die Wasseraufnahme simuliert werden, die bei einer 24-stündigen Regenperiode während des Einbauens der Produkte auftritt.
Wenn der Rohrdämmstoff aus einem ebenen Produkt geschnitten wird, kann die Wasseraufnahme bei kurzzeitigem teilweisem Eintauchen aus Prüfungen ermittelt werden, die an einem ebenen Produkt mit ähnlichen Eigenschaften nach ISO 29767 durchgeführt werden, vorausgesetzt, die Prüfung wird in der Richtung durchgeführt, die die höchste Wasseraufnahme ergibt.
Diese Internationale Norm wurde für Produkte erarbeitet, die zum Dämmen von haustechnischen und betriebstechnischen Anlagen eingesetzt werden; sie kann aber auch auf Produkte für andere Anwendungsbereiche angewendet werden.
Diese Internationale Norm wird durch keine anderen Internationalen Normen ersetzt.

Produits isolants thermiques pour les équipements des bâtiments et les installations industrielles - Détermination de l'absorption d'eau à court terme par immersion partielle des coquilles isolantes préformées (ISO 12623:2022)

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.

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.

4 Principle
The short-term water absorption by partial immersion is determined by measuring the change in mass
of a 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 according to
Method A (7.2.2) or calculated, accordin

Thermal insulating products for building equipment and
industrial installations — Determination of short-term water
absorption by partial immersion of preformed pipe insulation
1 Scope
This International Standard 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.
If the pipe insulation is cut from a flat product, then the short-term water absorption by partial immersion
can be obtained from tests carried out on the flat product with
...
