Abstract With new improved calculation models a good agreement between computed and measured results of moisture transfer is obtainable on condition that correct material properties are used. Especially when capillary active materials are in hygric connection, their moisure storage characteristics have a predominant influence on the moisture behaviour of the building component. In this contribution, a pressure plate method to determine the moisture storage characteristics in the capillary moisture region is presented, which uses water as a measuring medium and thus assures a more realistic description. Furthermore, it is shown how to combine these results with the sorption isotherm, which describes the storage function in the hygroscopic moisture region, to obtain one continuous storage function over the entire moisture region, from dry material up to capillary saturation.
