Methods of test for masonry units - Part 14: Determination of moisture movement of aggregate concrete and manufactured stone masonry units
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 772-14 standard is focused on determining the moisture movement of aggregate concrete and manufactured stone masonry units. It provides a specific approach for measuring the moisture movement between two extreme moisture conditions.
The standard aims to establish a consistent and accurate procedure for evaluating the ability of masonry units to absorb and release moisture. This is an important aspect to consider, as excessive moisture movement can lead to durability issues and affect the overall performance of the masonry construction.
By following the guidelines outlined in this standard, manufacturers and professionals in the construction industry can ensure that the masonry units they are using meet the necessary requirements for moisture movement. This helps to ensure long-term structural integrity and prevent any potential issues that may arise from moisture-related damage.
