Buildings and Civil Engineering Works - Sealants - Determination of Change in Mass and Volume
Also Known As:
The DIN EN ISO 10563 standard provides guidelines for determining the change in mass and volume of sealants used in joints in building construction. The purpose of this standard is to establish a method for measuring the physical changes, such as loss of mass and volume, that may occur in sealants over time. The test procedure described in the standard is not intended to determine the absolute maximum value of volume loss, but rather to provide an indicative measurement of the loss of volume under specific conditions.
This standard is specifically applicable to self-levelling and non-sagging sealants. These types of sealants are commonly used in construction projects to provide a waterproof and airtight barrier between different building components or materials. By determining the change in mass and volume of these sealants, it becomes possible to evaluate their long-term performance and durability.
The standard provides clear guidelines for conducting the test and specifies the parameters that need to be controlled during the measurement process. It is important to follow these guidelines precisely in order to ensure accurate and reliable results. The information obtained through this standard can be used by builders, engineers, and other construction professionals to select appropriate sealants and ensure their quality and longevity in building and civil engineering projects.
