Conservation of cultural heritage. Methods of measurement of moisture content, or water content, in materials constituting immovable cultural heritage
保护文化遗产 构成不可移动文化遗产的材料中含水量或含水量的测量方法
BS EN 16682:2017 is aimed to inform and assist users in the choice and use of the most
appropriate method to obtain reliable measurements of the moisture content, or water content, in
wood and masonry (including brickwork, stonework, concrete, gypsum, mortars, etc.) in the specific
case of the built cultural heritage.It provides a basic framework to take and interpret this kind of measurements on the above cultural
heritage materials that have undergone weathering, pest attack, salt migration or other transformations
over time.It specifies four absolute methods (i.e. gravimetric, Karl Fischer titration, azeotropic distillation and
calcium carbide); explains their characteristics, pros and cons, and gives specifications for the
transformation of readings into the same unit to make measurements taken with different methods
comparable.It specifies the three principal relative methods (i.e. electrical resistance, capacitance, and relative
humidity in equilibrium with the material), pointing out their characteristics and uncertainties when
used in the field of cultural heritage.In addition, it provides an informative overview of ten other relative methods, their characteristics,
pros and cons.It gives specifications for the calibration of the various methods. It also compares the above methods in
relation to their accuracy, sampling requirement, sample size, laboratory or field use, and other
problems encountered in the field of cultural heritage to prevent instrument misuse, reduce
uncertainties and avoid reading misinterpretation.Cross References:EN ISO 374-1EN 420:2003+A1:2009EN 455-1:2000EN 772-10:1999EN 837-1:1996EN 1428:2012EN 13183-1:2002EN 13183-2:2002EN 13183-3:2005EN 15758:2010EN 15898:2011EN 16085:2012EN 16096:2012EN 16242:2012EN ISO 10304-1:2009ISO 10304-1:2007EN ISO 11461:2014ISO 11461:2001EN ISO 13130:2011ISO 13130:2011EN ISO 14911:1999ISO 14911:1998EN ISO 15512ISO 15512ISO 760:1978ISO 3567:2011ISO 5272:1979ISO 5280:1979ISO 7183:2007ISO 11465:1993ISO 16979:2003ISO Guide 34:2009ISO/IEC Guide 98-3:2008GUM:1995EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005ISO/IEC 17025:2005ASTM D4944-04ASTM D4442-07ASTM D2216-10BS 812-109:1990EN 322:1993EN 13040:2007EN 15757:2010ISO 1026:1982ISO 2596:2006ISO 3529-3:2014ISO 9712:2012ISO 20807:2004ISO/IEC 17024:2012JCGM 200:2012VIMUNI 9091-3:1989UNI 11085:2003UNI 11086:2003UNI 11121:2004All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
