Methods of Test for Mortar for Masonry: Determination of the Compatibility of One-Coat Rendering Mortars with Substrates
Also Known As:
BS EN 1015-21:2002 is a standard that outlines a specific method for testing the compatibility of One-Coat rendering mortars with substrates. The purpose of this standard is to evaluate the adhesion strength and water permeability of the hardened render when applied to different substrates. The test involves subjecting the render and substrate to weathering cycles to assess the performance and compatibility of the mortar.
The standard provides guidelines for conducting the test, including the preparation of the substrate and application of the One-Coat rendering mortar. The adhesion strength and water permeability are measured after exposure to weathering cycles, which simulate the effect of environmental conditions on the mortar.
The results obtained from this test method can be used to assess the compatibility of One-Coat rendering mortars with specific substrates, helping to determine their suitability for use in masonry applications. This standard provides a standardized and reliable method for evaluating the performance of these mortars, ensuring that they meet the necessary quality and compatibility requirements.
