Paints and varnishes - Determination of water-vapour transmission properties - Cup method
Le présent document spécifie une méthode permettant de déterminer les propriétés de transmission de la vapeur d'eau des revêtements de peinture, vernis et produits assimilés.
Le présent document spécifie une méthode permettant de déterminer les propriétés de transmission de la vapeur d'eau des revêtements de peinture, vernis et produits assimilés.
Le présent document décrit la méthode de détermination de la perméabilité à la vapeur d'eau des systèmes de revêtement destinés à la maçonnerie et au béton extérieur, y compris aux supports poreux ; celle-ci est basée sur le principe de la méthode de la coupe pour film libre. Une classification en trois catégories est définie.
This document specifies a method for determining the water-vapour transmission properties of coatings of paints, varnishes and related products. It supplements ISO 12572. As far as possible, the procedure, the definitions and the calculations have been taken over from ISO 12572. ISO 12572 can be consulted, if necessary, to obtain a better understanding of the procedure specified in this document. Water-vapour transmission rates of more than 680 g/(m2⋅d) (i.e. water-vapour diffusion-equivalent air layer thicknesses, sd, of less than 0,03 m) are not accurately quantified by the test method described in this document.
The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!

- With a single click, add a new language, the Requirements or Redline+ service and add one or more additional users.
- Whether you are in the process of acquiring a standard or it is already available in your personal space, the UPSELL service is available at every stage to help you understand it and implement it within your organization.
