本标准规定了通过部分浸没，没有温度梯度来确定短期液体吸水系数的方法。用于通过现场存储或施工中的连续或下雨的毛细管作用，通常被保护的绝缘和其他材料来评估水的吸收速率。该方法适用于与其通常安装在其上的基底结合测试的涂层或涂层。 它不是为了评估在水下使用的材料或与饱和地面完全接触的材料的吸收，其中总浸入试验更合适

This standard specifies a method for determining, by partial immersion with no temperature gradient, the short-term liquid water absorption coefficient. It is intended to assess the rate of absorption of water, by capillary action from continuous or driving rain during on site storage or construction, by insulating and other materials, which are normally protected. The method is suitable for renders or coatings tested in conjunction with the substrate on which they are normally mounted. It is not intended to assess the absorption of water by materials used under water or in overall contact with saturated ground, where a total immersion test is more appropriate.
