Hot Applied Joint Sealants - Test Method for the Determination of the Change in Weight of Fuel Resistance Joint Sealants After Fuel Immersion
Also Known As:
BS EN 13880-8:2018 is a standard that outlines a test method for determining the change in weight of hot applied joint sealants after being immersed in fuel. The purpose of this test is to assess the resistance of a joint sealant to fuel spillage by measuring the change in mass.
The standard specifies a procedure for immersing the joint sealant in a standard reference fuel and recording its weight before and after immersion. By calculating the change in weight, it becomes possible to evaluate the effectiveness of the sealant in resisting the effects of fuel.
This test method is important for assessing the durability and performance of hot applied joint sealants in industries where fuel spillage is a concern. It provides a standardized approach for evaluating the resistance of these sealants to fuel immersion, thereby ensuring their suitability and reliability in such applications.
