This document specifies the equipment and procedures for determining the long-term water absorption
of test specimens. It is applicable to thermal insulating products.
This document specifies two methods:— Method 1: Partial immersion;— Method 2: Total immersion.
The long-term water absorption by partial immersion is intended to simulate the water absorption
caused by long-term water exposure.
The long-term water absorption by total immersion is not directly related to the conditions on site, but
has been recognized as a relevant condition of test for some products in some applications.Cross References:ISO 29768ISO 5725-2All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
