Precast Concrete Products - Test Method for Glass-Fibre Reinforced Cement - Part 4: Measuring Bending Strength; "Simplified Bending Test" Method
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 1170-4 standard focuses on the measurement of bending strength in glass-fibre reinforced cement (GRC) products. The purpose of this standard is to provide a test method for verifying compliance with specifications, evaluating the regularity of the production process, and assessing the homogeneity of compacting through recto verso tests.
The standard emphasizes the importance of ensuring the strength and quality of GRC products and highlights the need for standardized testing methods to accurately measure their bending strength. The "Simplified Bending Test" method described in this standard serves as a systematic approach to conduct these tests.
It is crucial to adhere to this standard not only to ensure the reliability and performance of GRC products but also to maintain consistent quality in their production. By establishing a consistent testing methodology, manufacturers can evaluate the strength characteristics and durability of GRC products, leading to enhanced safety and reliability in their applications.
