2 The functional sample Diffusion Tube is instrumental to the experimental assessment water vapour transport properties porous building materials in non-stationary state water vapour flux. In measuring the material parameters characterising the water vapour diffusion in porous building materials, the steady-state methods are the most commonly used. These methods are generally considered to be reliable and relatively accurate but they are usually time-consuming. Among steady-state methods, the cup method is the most frequently used in the practice as it is normalised in most countries over the world. Using this method, a single value water vapour diffusion coefficient, water vapour diffusion permeability or water vapour diffusion resistance factor can be accessed. Probably the main reason for its ten application represents its simplicity which minimizes the risk failure or substantial errors. Although the cup method has proved to be a very useful and reliable method in past decades, it is a steady-state method which has a very unpleasant feature that the time necessary for a single measurement may take several days or weeks. On this account, transient methods are more suitable for practical applications, if speeding up the experiment while keeping a comparably good accuracy to the cup method is necessary.
