ASTM D2842 Standard Test Method for Water Absorption of Rigid Cellular Plastics

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ASTM D2842 standard. This test method involves determining the water absorption of solid cellular plastics by measuring the change in buoyancy caused by immersion under a 5.1 cm of water. (96 inches) water height for a specified immersion time of 2 hours.

ASTM D2842 Standard Test Method for Water Absorption of Rigid Cellular Plastics

This test method describes two procedures to be used to measure the change in buoyancy. The procedure will be used for materials that experience rapid water absorption or increase in volume over the exposure period, or both. Materials that do not exhibit any of these properties will be evaluated according to Procedure B.

For specific applications, immersion times that differ from the normal 96 hour test requirement should be agreed between the manufacturer and the purchaser.

Values ​​given in SI units should be accepted as standard. Values ​​in parentheses are for informational purposes only.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.

This international standard has been developed in accordance with the internationally accepted principles of standardization set out in the Principles decision on the development of international standards, guidelines and recommendations published by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
