Hot Applied Joint Sealants - Part 4: Test Method for the Determination of Heat Resistance; Change in Penetration Value
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13880-4 standard is part of the Hot Applied Joint Sealants series and specifically focuses on the test method for determining heat resistance and the change in penetration value of these sealants. The standard provides guidelines for assessing the effects of storing hot applied joint sealants at elevated temperatures.
The method involves testing and comparing the cone penetration and resilience values of the sealants before and after storage. Cone penetration refers to the depth to which a specified cone penetrates the sealant under specified conditions, while resilience refers to the ability of the sealant to recover after being compressed.
By subjecting the sealant samples to elevated temperatures and observing any changes in their cone penetration and resilience values, this standard aims to evaluate the heat resistance of the sealants. This information is useful in determining the performance and durability of hot applied joint sealants under different temperature conditions.
