Methods of test for screed materials - Part 2: Determination of Flexural and Compressive Strength
Also Known As:
DIN EN 13892-2 is a standard that provides guidelines for testing the flexural and compressive strength of screed materials. The standard applies to various types of screeds, including cementitious, calcium sulfate, magnesite, and synthetic resin materials. The purpose of the standard is to establish a consistent methodology for evaluating the mechanical properties of these materials.
The standard outlines the procedures for creating moulded mortar specimens and specifies the testing conditions, such as curing time and temperature. The flexural strength refers to the material's ability to withstand bending forces without breaking, while the compressive strength measures the material's resistance to crushing or compression. Both of these mechanical properties are important for assessing the durability and performance of screed materials.
The standard provides detailed instructions on the preparation of the specimens, including mixing ratios, mould dimensions, and sampling techniques. Additionally, it outlines the test methods for determining the flexural and compressive strength, including the required testing equipment and procedures. The results obtained from these tests are expressed in numerical values, allowing for comparison and certification of different screed materials.
