Standard Practice for Resistance to Hydrostatic Pressure for Coatings Used in Below Grade Applications Applied to Masonry
Also Known As:
ASTM D7088-17 is a standard practice that evaluates the resistance of coatings used in below grade applications to withstand the infiltration of water through concrete block masonry walls. The purpose of this test is to simulate the presence of hydrostatic pressure exerted by water outside the structure, and determine whether the coating is able to prevent water intrusion.
The test involves subjecting the coated masonry to a specified pressure of water for a specific duration of time. The objective is to assess the ability of the coating to serve as a barrier against water penetration under real-life conditions.
This standard practice is essential for assessing the effectiveness of coatings in protecting below grade masonry walls from water damage, such as dampness, leaks, and structural deterioration. It provides a standardized method for evaluating the performance of coatings and helps ensure their suitability for these specific applications.
