Question 5

absorption (weight)

Answer 5

ability of water absorption by material by atmospheric pressure

Question 6

absorbabilit. (by vol.)

Answer 6

mass of absorber water to volume of a test piece of dry material ratio

Question 7

hygrosocopity

Answer 7

“ability if quick absorption by material od water vapour from ambient air.”

Question 8

filterability

Answer 8

“Humidity of material under the influence of water under the pressure. Quantity of water [g] which penetrates in an hour through 1cm2 of surface of a test piece of material, by constant pressure.”

Question 9

saturation ratio

Answer 9

absorbability by volume/porosity

Question 10

evaporative power

Answer 10

“Evaporative power defines a time needed for drying water saturated material, till it will have a constant mass.”

Question 11

gas permeability

Answer 11

“Ability of penretrating by air and water wavor through construction materials is of great importance for natural ventilation, so i serves dehumidyfying of walls and floors.”

Question 12

freeze resistance

Answer 12

The resistance to destruction pf structure of material by multiple cycles of freezing and defrosting.

determined by:

• lack of defect
• mass lost

Question 13

contraction

Answer 13

The change of volume (% of volume) or linear dimensions (in mm/m) of humid material by drying.

Question 14

corrosion resistance

Answer 14

“[Resistance] to unintentional chemical or electrochemical processes as a result of influence of surrondings or of reaction between components of material, negatively changing its properties and functional suitability.”

Question 15

ageing resistance

Answer 15

The resistance to the process of changes op properties in time, generated by atmospheric factors (heat, light, air).

Question 16
