Standard EN Sample
Products and Systems for the Protection and Repair of Concrete Structures - Test Methods - Determination of Thermal Compatibility - Thunder-Shower Cycling (Thermal Shock)
Also Known As:
BS EN 13687-2:2002 is a test method standard that focuses on determining the thermal compatibility of products and systems used for the protection and repair of concrete structures. This particular part of the standard specifically deals with the effects of thunder-shower cycling, also known as thermal shock.
The purpose of this test method is to assess the performance of repair products and systems, including grouts, mortars, concretes, and surface protection systems, when subjected to shock cooling from an elevated temperature. The standard is applicable to repair products and systems that are based on CC, PCC, and PC binders, as well as surface protection systems.
The test procedure outlined in this standard involves subjecting the specimens to rapid cooling by immersing them in water after heating them. The samples are then assessed for any changes in properties, such as cracking, delamination, spalling, or loss of bond, which can occur due to the thermal shock.
