DIN EN 12087:2013-06

This European Standard specifies the equipment and procedures for determining the long-term water absorption of test specimens. It is applicable to thermal insulating products. This European Standard specifies two options: - Method 1: partial immersion - Method 2: total immersion The partial immersion simulates the water absorption caused by long term water exposure. The total immersion is not directly related to the conditions on site, but has been recognised as a relevant condition of test for some products in some applications. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 005-56-60 AA "Wärmedämmstoffe (SpA zu CEN/TC 88 und WG 1 bis 9, WG 12 bis 21, ISO/TC 61/SC 10, ISO/TC 163 (teilweise), ISO/TC 163/SC 1 und SC 3)" ("Thermal insulation materials (national mirror committee for CEN/TC 88 and WGs 1 to 9, WGs 12 to 21, ISO/TC 61/SC 10, ISO/TC 163 (partly), ISO/TC 163/SC 1 und SC 3)") at DIN.
