BS EN 13579:2002 PDF Download

BS EN 13579:2002 is a standard that focuses on the evaluation of the drying rate coefficient of hydrophobic impregnation on concrete structures. The purpose of this test method is to assess the effectiveness of hydrophobic impregnation in protecting and repairing concrete structures. It provides a reliable and consistent approach for measuring the drying rate coefficient of impregnated specimens.

The standard emphasizes the importance of protecting concrete structures from water ingress, which can lead to various issues such as deterioration, corrosion, and reduced durability. By evaluating the drying rate coefficient, it allows for the assessment of how effectively the hydrophobic impregnation method prevents the penetration of water into the concrete.

This standard is essential for manufacturers, suppliers, and users of hydrophobic impregnation products, as it provides a common basis for testing and evaluating their performance. The results obtained from this test method can be used to compare different products and systems, ensuring that only high-quality and effective solutions are employed for the protection and repair of concrete structures.
