Products and Systems for the Protection and Repair of Concrete Structures - Test Methods - Determination of Stiffening Time
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13294 standard provides a test method for determining the stiffening time of repair materials and systems used for concrete structures. It focuses specifically on hydraulic-based mortar and concrete, both in their standard form and those modified with polymers. The purpose of this standard is to establish a standardized procedure for measuring the time it takes for the repair material to become stiff after mixing.
This is an important parameter to consider for construction projects, as the stiffening time affects the workability and applicability of the repair material. Being able to accurately determine the stiffening time enables engineers and contractors to optimize the usage and application of the repair products, ensuring they are used within the appropriate time frame.
By providing a standardized method for determining stiffening time, the DIN EN 13294 standard helps ensure consistency and reliability in the evaluation of repair materials and systems. This allows for better comparison and selection of products, aiding in the overall quality and durability of concrete structure repairs.
