This European Standard shall be given the

15、status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 2013, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by April 2013. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the sub

16、ject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 13469:2001. The following main technical changes have been implemented in this new edition of EN 13469: a) the content of Annex A “Correction for air pre

17、ssure variations during test“ has been included in the main part of the standard and the annex has been deleted; b) the document has been editorially updated. This European Standard is one of a series of standards which specify test methods for determining dimensions and properties of thermal insula

18、ting materials and products. It supports a series of product standards for thermal insulating materials and products which derive from the Council Directive of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction produ

19、cts (Directive 89/106/EEC) through the consideration of the essential requirements. This European Standard has been prepared for products used to insulate building equipment and industrial installations, but it may also be applied to products used in other areas. According to the CEN/CENELEC Interna

20、l Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Irel

21、and, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom. BS EN 13469:2012EN 13469:2012 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the equipment and procedure for determining th

22、e water vapour transmission properties in the steady state under specified test conditions for test specimens of preformed pipe insulation. It is applicable to thermal insulating products. It is intended to be used for homogeneous materials (see NOTE) and for products which may have integral skins o

23、r adhered facings of some different material. NOTE A material is considered to be homogeneous in terms of mass distribution if its density is approximately the same throughout, i.e. if the measured density values are close to its mean density. The water vapour transmission rate and permeance values

24、are specific to the test specimen (i.e. the product) thickness tested. For homogeneous products, the water vapour permeability is a property of the material. If the pipe insulation is cut from a flat product, then the water vapour transmission properties can be obtained from tests carried out on the

25、 flat product with similar properties in accordance with EN 12086. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references,

30、y quantity of water vapour transmitted per unit of time through a unit area of the product per unit of vapour pressure difference between its faces for a unit thickness Note 1 to entry: Water vapour permeability is a product of the permeance and the thickness of the test specimen ( = W d). It is a p

31、roperty of the material of a homogeneous product. 3.6 water vapour diffusion resistance factor quotient of the water vapour permeability of air and the water vapour permeability of the material or the homogeneous product concerned which indicates the relative magnitude of the water vapour resistance

32、 of the product and that of an equally thick layer of stationary air at the same temperature 4 Principle A desiccant filled “dry-cup“ made from a preformed pipe insulation test specimen is placed in a test atmosphere whose temperature and humidity are controlled. Because of the difference between th

33、e partial water vapour pressures in the test assembly and in the test atmosphere, water vapour flows through the test specimen. Periodic weighings of the assembly are made to determine the rate of water vapour transmission when the steady state is reached. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Chamber, capable of being m

34、aintained within a temperature of (23 1) C and a relative humidity (50 3) %. In order to maintain the required conditions throughout the chamber, it may be necessary to use air circulation with an air speed between 0,02 m/s to 0,3 m/s. 5.2 Desiccant, anhydrous calcium chloride (CaCl2) with particle

35、size 2 mm to 15 mm (relative humidity 0 %) or any other desiccant that gives the same results. 5.3 Analytical balance, capable of weighing the test assembly to an accuracy of 1 mg or better. If larger test assemblies are used, the weighing accuracy may be determined with respect to the total weight

36、and the required accuracy of the test results. 5.4 Measuring instruments, capable of determining linear dimensions and thicknesses in accordance with the requirements of EN 12085 or EN 13467, whichever is relevant. 5.5 Aluminium foil, water vapour diffusion tight (at least 50 m thick) protected with

37、 a polymer film on the face in contact with the calcium chloride (CaCl2). 5.6 Adhesive, suitable to make water vapour tight joint between the aluminium foil and the test specimen (see relevant product standard). Any combination of foil or sealant and adhesive, which provides comparable results, may

38、be used. 6 Test specimens 6.1 General The test specimens shall be representative of the product and shall include any natural surface skins or adhered facings of different materials. BS EN 13469:2012EN 13469:2012 (E) 6 Pipe insulation pieces (half sections or segments) shall be placed together using

39、 an appropriate sealant or adhesive to form a full size pipe insulation test specimen. For faced and/or coated products with a water vapour diffusion resistance index 3, for the core material, the permeability may be determined from measurements made on the facing/coating itself, after separation fr

40、om the product. For pipe insulations with large dimensions, test specimens of the facing and/or coating may be cut out and tested according to EN 12086. 6.2 Dimensions of the test specimen Cut the test specimens to a minimum length of (100 1) mm; for outside diameters greater than 100 mm the length

41、shall be at least 150 mm. The cut surfaces shall be as flat as possible, equally formed and perpendicular to the vertical axis of the test specimen. The thickness of the test specimen shall be the thickness of the product. 6.3 Number of test specimens The number of test specimens shall be as specifi

42、ed in the relevant product standard. If the number is not specified, then at least five test specimens shall be used. In addition to the specified test specimens, one test specimen, “dummy”, identical to the others but not filled with desiccant shall be prepared. This “dummy” shall be included in th

43、e test procedure. Its weight changes during the test procedure are not caused by water vapour diffusion but by e.g. gas or humidity evaporation/absorption or air pressure variations. The weight changes of the test specimens have to be corrected by the weight changes of the dummy. NOTE Information on

44、 the use of a “dummy“ test specimen can be found in Hansen, K. K. and Lund, H.B.: “Cup Method for Determination of Water Vapour Transmission Properties of Building Materials. Sources of Uncertainty in the Method“ 2. In the absence of a product standard or any other European Technical Specification,

45、the method of selection of the test specimens may be agreed between parties. 6.4 Conditioning of test specimens The test specimens shall be stored for at least 6 h at (23 5) C. In case of dispute, they shall be stored at (23 2) C and (50 5) % relative humidity for the time stated in the relevant pro

46、duct standard. 7 Procedure Bond the test specimen to the aluminium foil (see 5.5), at one end, to achieve a water vapour tight joint. Place sufficient desiccant within the test specimen to maintain zero percent relative humidity throughout the test. The quantity of desiccant shall not be greater tha

47、n 2/3 of the enclosed volume. Prepare also one test specimen, “dummy”, identical to the others but not filled with desiccant. Close the open end of the test specimen as in the first paragraph. Bubbles under the foil should be avoided, and the bond between the foil and the test specimen should be suc

48、h that any attempt to separate the foil from the test specimen breaks the test specimen rather than the bond. BS EN 13469:2012EN 13469:2012 (E) 7 In case of products with a low water vapour transmission rate, the borderline between the foil and the test specimen may be sealed in addition with a seal

49、ant (e.g. wax) in such a way that the reduction in free surface is not significant. Immerse the test specimens in the test chamber (see Figure 1) at (23 1) C and (50 3) % relative humidity. Avoid contact between the test specimens. Condition the test specimens in the test chamber for a period between 1 h and 24 h. Weigh the test specimens at regular intervals. The weighing shall be carried out under the same conditions as exist in the test chamber. If the weighing is
