Introduction
The water absorption coefficient w is used for measuring at which rate a building material absorbs water:
![{\displaystyle w={\frac {W[kg/m^{2}]}{{\sqrt {t}}[h^{0.5}]}}}](https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/43e0f5c226426e468af5b931d4c4dc7de8676010)
W = amount of water [kg/m²], t = time in [h]
The water absorption coefficient indicates, how many kg of water per hour one square meter of material absorbs through capillary action.
| The water absorption coefficient is used to measure the rate of moisture absorption of building materials. |
Most common is the following classification of the water absorption coefficient (in kg/(m2*h0.5))[1][2]:

- water inhibiting (w < 2)
- water repellent (w < 0.5)
- waterproof (w < 0.001)
