Standard EN Sample
Products and Systems for the Protection and Repair of Concrete Structures - Test Methods - Determination of Thermal Compatibility - Thermal Cycling Without De-Icing Salt Impact
Also Known As:
The standard BS EN 13687-3:2002 focuses on determining the thermal compatibility of repair products and systems used for concrete structures. It specifically addresses the effects of thermal cycling, including wetting and drying but excluding exposure to de-icing salt, on surface protection and injection systems incorporated within repair products or systems.
Thermal compatibility refers to the ability of these products and systems to withstand temperature fluctuations without experiencing detrimental effects. By subjecting the materials to thermal cycling tests, their performance can be assessed and potential issues can be identified.
The standard provides guidance on the test method to be followed, including the parameters for temperature cycling and the duration of the test. It aims to evaluate the durability and effectiveness of repair products and systems under realistic conditions, helping to ensure that they can withstand the thermal stresses experienced in real-world applications.
