This European Standard specifies the equipment and procedures for determining the short term water absorption of prefor-med pipe insulation by partial immersion in water. It is applicable to thermal insula-ting pro-ducts.
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.
