BS EN 13892-2:2002 PDF Download

The standard BS EN 13892-2:2002 provides guidelines for testing the strength properties of various types of screed materials. The focus of this standard is on determining the flexural and compressive strength of mortar specimens made from cementitious screed, calcium sulfate screed, magnesite screed, and synthetic resin materials.

The standard outlines the procedure for creating moulded mortar specimens from these screed materials and provides specific testing methods for flexural and compressive strength determination. The flexural strength refers to the ability of the specimen to resist bending or cracking under applied load, while the compressive strength relates to the material's ability to withstand crushing forces.

By following the methods outlined in this standard, manufacturers and testing laboratories can assess the performance and quality of different types of screed materials. These strength tests help determine the suitability of various screed materials for specific applications in the construction industry, ensuring that they meet the required strength requirements to withstand different loads and environmental conditions.
