Overview

This document specifies the equipment and test method for determining the effects of successive cycling from dry conditions at -20 °C to wet conditions at 20 °C on the mechanical properties and moisture content of thermal insulating products. It applies to thermal insulation materials. This document is intended to simulate the freeze-thaw effects on thermal insulating products which are frequently exposed to water and low temperature conditions, such as inverted roofs and unprotected ground insulation. This test method is not suitable for all thermal insulation materials. The product standards therefore specify to which of the products described in them this standard applies. The responsible German standardization committee is Working Committee NA 005-56-60 AA "Wärmedämmstoffe (SpA zu CEN/TC 88 und WG 1 bis 9, WG 12 bis 16, WG 19 bis 23, ISO/TC 61/SC 10, ISO/TC 163 (teilweise), ISO/TC 163/SC 1 und SC 3 (teilweise))" ("Thermal insulation materials (national mirror committee CEN/TC 88 und WG 1 bis 9, WG 12 bis 16, WG 19 bis 23, ISO/TC 61/SC 10, ISO/TC 163 (partly), ISO/TC 163/SC 1 und SC 3 (partly)") at DIN Standards Committee Building and Civil Engineering (NABau).
