Precast Concrete Products - Test Method for Glass-Fibre Reinforced Cement - Part 7: Measurement of Extremes of Dimensional Variations Due to Moisture Content
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 1170-7 standard is a test method specifically designed for measuring the dimensional variations of glass-fibre reinforced cement (GRC) products caused by changes in moisture content. The objective of this standard is to determine the maximum extent of dimensional variations in GRC products resulting from hygrothermal changes they may be exposed to in real-world conditions.
The standard focuses on two main factors contributing to the dimensional variations: residual hydraulic shrinkage and reversible expansion. These factors together reflect the ability of GRC products to withstand moisture-related changes while maintaining their structural integrity.
By quantifying the dimensional variations caused by moisture content, this standard helps provide important information for manufacturers, designers, and users of GRC products. It ensures that the products meet the requirements of dimensional stability under varying moisture conditions and enables a better understanding of their performance in different environments.
