Products and systems for the protection and repair of concrete structures - Test methods; Determination of thermal compatibility - Part 2: Thunder-shower cycling (thermal shock)
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13687-2 standard focuses on the determination of thermal compatibility in products and systems used for the protection and repair of concrete structures. This standard specifically addresses the testing method known as thunder-shower cycling, also referred to as thermal shock.
The purpose of this test method is to evaluate the performance of repair mortars, concretes, and surface protection systems by subjecting them to the effect of shock cooling from an elevated temperature. By simulating the rapid change in temperature experienced during a thunder-shower, this test method allows for the assessment of the durability and effectiveness of the materials under such conditions.
This standard is part of a five-part series that aims to comprehensively assess the thermal compatibility of repair products and systems for both structural and non-structural repair of concrete structures. It provides a valuable tool for manufacturers, architects, engineers, and other stakeholders involved in the protection and repair of concrete structures, allowing them to select materials that are suitable for use in environments with fluctuating temperatures and exposure to sudden temperature changes.
