Material characterization and material hygric characteristics
HT_1A: Position paper on material characterization and HAM model benchmarking
HT_1B: JOINT SU1 -TUD2 protocols for measuring hygric characteristics of porous construction materials
- HT_1C: Introduction
- HT_1D: Pore structure descriptors and measurements of moisture storage
- HT_1E: Moisture transport characteristics
- HT_1F: Sampling procedures and sequence of testing for characterization of a product
Ongoing review of test methods for determination of:
- Material characterization including pore structure descriptors
- Benchmarking of data used in HAM models
- Moisture storage
- Water vapor permeance such as dry and double cups, modified inverted cup, narrow-range high humidity,
- Water absorption coefficient
- Saturated liquid conductivity, and
- Liquid penetration resistance of membranes
Completed review, recommended test procedures:
- HT-1G: Standard Test Methods for Rating Water Vapor Permeance of Materials
- HT-1H: Standard Test Method for Determination of Water Absorption Coefficient
- HT-1I: Standard Test Method for Determination of Vacuum Saturation
