Standard EN
Flexible Sheets for Waterproofing - Determination of Tensile Properties - Bitumen Sheets for Roof Waterproofing
Also Known As:
BS EN 12311-1:2000 is a standard that provides a method for determining the tensile properties of bitumen sheets used for roof waterproofing. The purpose of this standard is to establish a consistent and reliable method for testing the tensile strength of these sheets during the initial type testing and for ongoing quality control.
The standard is focused on ensuring that bitumen sheets used for roofing meet certain performance requirements. Tensile strength is an important property to evaluate as it indicates the material's ability to withstand stretching and pulling forces. By determining the tensile properties of the bitumen sheets, manufacturers and inspectors can assess the overall durability and suitability of the materials for roof waterproofing applications.
This standard is relevant for those involved in the manufacturing, testing, and specification of bitumen sheets for roofing. It provides a standardized approach to testing the tensile strength of the materials, enabling consistent evaluation and comparison of different products in the market. Adhering to this standard helps ensure the quality and performance of bitumen sheets, promoting the use of reliable and durable materials for roof waterproofing applications.
