Table 1 Mean WPG values before (WPG) and after leaching (WPGEN84) of EN 113–2 [16] test specimens: 25 × 15 × 50 (L) mm; short-term water uptake and release test (Meyer-Veltrup et al. [31]) specimens: 10 (R) × 5 (T) × 100 (L) mm; floating (CEN/TS 16818 [32]) specimens: 25 (R) × 50 (T) × 50 (L) mm and submersion tests (CEN/TS 16818 [32]) specimens: 25 (R) × 50 (T) × 150 (L) mm
