Investigating The Water Absorbance of Different Insulation Materials

In this work, the moisture absorbance of 6 different building insulation materials are inspected in a laboratory environment. After being dried to a constant weight, the materials were exposed to five different, equally distributed, relative humidity environments, ranging from 0% to 100%. At each chosen relative humidity range the weight of absorbed water content was measured. Then the results were analysed. The insulation materials were then ranked using results from this and the author’s previous work
