Products and Systems for the Protection and Repair of Concrete Structures - Test Methods - Volume and Weight Changes of Injection Products after Air Drying and Water Storage Cycles
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 14498 standard focuses on products and systems used for the protection and repair of concrete structures. Specifically, it outlines a test method that measures the volume and weight changes of injection products. These products are utilized for filling cracks, voids, and interstices in concrete structures through a process known as swelling fitted filling.
The test method involves subjecting the injection products to cycles of air drying and water storage. This allows for an assessment of how the products respond to environmental conditions, which is crucial for evaluating their effectiveness in protecting and repairing concrete structures. By measuring the volume and weight changes of the injection products before and after these cycles, the standard provides a quantifiable means of evaluating their performance.
Compliance with the DIN EN 14498 standard ensures that manufacturers and users of injection products have a standardized and reliable method for assessing their quality and effectiveness. This contributes to the overall durability and longevity of concrete structures, as it allows for the selection of appropriate products and systems that can withstand environmental stresses over time.
