La couche intérieure en EPDM [éthylène-propylène diène] de tuyaux en élastomère pour vapeur est sensible à la pénétration d’eau(gonflement d’eau de l'âme de tuyau). Après une nouvelle admission d’eau suite à une immobilisation et le refroidissement s’y rapportant, l'eau qui s’est infiltrée s’évapore spontanément. L'augmentation soudaine du volume entraîne inévitablement des détériorations de la texture dans la partie intérieure. Ce phénomène est appelé popcorning. 2, record 5, French, - pop%20corning
