2、 the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the amount of water vapor sorbed by mi

3、neral fiber insulation exposed to ahigh-humidity atmosphere. This test method is applicable only to fibrous base material and binder. The results obtained by this testmethod cannot be used in describing faced products, since the facing is not tested by using this test method.1.2 The water vapor sorp

9、e term sorption has been adopted for this test method, since mineral fiber insulation may absorb water within its bulkwhen viewed macroscopically, while it adsorbs water onto individual fibers on a microscopic scale.(1) sorptionrefers to the taking up and holding of matter by other matter by various

10、 processes such as absorption andadsorption.(2) absorptionrefers to the taking up of matter in-bulk by other matter; for example, the penetration of substances into thebulk of another solid or liquid.(3) adsorptionrefers to surface retention or adhesion of an extremely thin layer of molecules to the

11、 surfaces of solids orliquids with which they are in contact.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The insulation is dried to a constant weight and exposed to a high-humidity atmosphere for 96 h. The amount of watersorbed from the vapor phase is the difference in specimen weights, and is expressed in either

27、 drying at the specified temperature has been shown to adversely affect the insulation, the specimen may be dried to moisture-freeweight in a desiccator at room temperature. However, the drying time between successive weighings should then be extended to at least 24 h.8.3 Bring the specimens to a un
