... This paper presents a state-of—the-art review of the modified inverted cup (MIC) test method. The inverted cup method was introduced into ASTM E96, “Standard Test Method for Water Vapor Transmission of Materials,” several decades ago. However, its capability in evaluating moisture response...

... A method based on ASTM E96/E96M-05 is described for testing the comparative effect of seams and closure types on the water vapor transmission properties of low permeance materials typically applied as moisture vapor retarders. The baseline performance of two materials with water vapor permeance...

... Water vapor transmission properties of building materials play an important role in the overall moisture management and durability of the exterior building envelopes. The cup method, as described in the ASTM Standard Test Methods for Water Vapor Transmission of Materials (E 96), is widely used...

... in warm, humid air through a poor seal between the top of the masonry cavity wall and the roofing system. The warm, humid air condenses in the ribs of the steel deck and the condensate leaks into the building. During our investigation, I also evaluated the water-vapor transmission through the ethylene...

... Water vapor transport through rigid polyurethane and polyisocyanurate foams was investigated using three test methods—two under isothermal conditions and one in the presence of a thermal gradient. All three methods yielded water vapor transmission coefficients of the materials. It is observed...

... In 1985, the ASTM Task Force on ASTM Test Methods for Water Vapor Transmission of Materials (E 96-80) initiated a round robin with two objectives: 1. to prepare a new precision and bias statement for use in ASTM E 96-80, and 2. to evaluate possible new water vapor transmission standard materials...
