Masonry and Masonry Products: Methods for Determining Thermal Properties
Also Known As:
The BS EN 1745:2020 standard provides guidelines and procedures for determining the thermal properties of masonry and masonry products. The standard outlines different methods that can be used to analyze and measure the thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, and thermal transmittance of these materials.
The document aims to ensure consistency and accuracy in the assessment of thermal properties, which play a crucial role in the energy efficiency and performance of masonry structures. By providing standardized testing procedures, this standard allows for reliable comparisons of thermal properties across different masonry products and materials.
The methods described in BS EN 1745:2020 include both laboratory-based and field-based tests, providing flexibility in the assessment process based on the available resources and requirements. The standard covers various types of masonry, including brick, concrete block, and natural stone, and provides guidance on sample preparation, measurement instrumentation, test conditions, and data analysis.
